This game is fanstastic for the following reasons:

1. Fantastic Graphics

2. Great driving physics

3. Game Design

My only negative is the multiplayer. You can chat with others but can not race head to head. You are racing against times.

This game is easily worth $60.00. It's a must for any xbox 360 library.

Ps. Playstation 3 is GARBAGE.

Great game...but nothing is perfect...

I just bought Dirt after waiting for it for months now. Ok, it is a great game and you will want to buy and play it for hours on end. The dynamics, graphics, detail and overall layout is great. Very fun to play and offers lots of variances and courses. Havent tried the multiplayer, but all your times go online in a large list of best times, pretty cool...unless youre number 30, 456 like me! You can total the car in one crash if you are going fast and hit a dead stop head on like a wall etc. The damage is sooo cool, super detailed and all the parts stay on the courses. You will see wrecked computer opponents crashed on the side of the road, they wipe out too! Ive been playing it for the last 3 hours and its really fun.

What sucks. You will spend some time getting used to the car control, its cool but it takes some time to get used to. You cannot upgrade your cars, besides paint schemes (very cool paint schemes) no parts upgrades, just tweaks. You cannot see your car in a 360 view like in Forza 2 (another must have racing game). You also cannot see your car from the side while racing,why would this matter? The cars have an astounding amount of detail to check out, a side view would be cool. Loading times are a bit long, but the menus give you info to read while the loading happens.

Thats all I can think of right now. Conclusion...this is a really cool game, you must buy it!

BEST RACING GAME ON 360

this is simply the best racing game for the 360. no 2 races are the same and the controls are easily mastered not to mention the fantastic graphics. the game itself is not one that you are going to beat in a couple of days which is what i like for $60. if you enjoy racing i strongly reccomend this title

After playing DiRT I wish I hadn't wasted my time with Forza 2. It's that much better!

I liked Forza 2 and thought it was fun, but the game began to get old quick. With that I went and bought Dirt and dangit I wish I had skipped Forza 2 all together. This game not only looks a lot better, but the courses are fantastic, don't feel repetitive, and racing on the dirt, in the mountains, in the desert is 10 times more fun than the same lame tracks of Forza.

You just have to play it to see what I'm talking about but the stunning 1080p standard graphics just blow the 1080i of Forza 2 out of the water. GET IT YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Pretty awesome

I was excited for this game after playing the demo. I can say that it met if not exceeded my expectations.

Pros: Extremely realistic graphics and damage. cool soundtrack and long career mode

Cons: Really annoying passenger in your car, had to turn down the volume to shut him up and now I miss out on some things I actually want to hear. Long Load times. And, it's a little hard. I guess I'm not a real racing game fan, but I'm finding it surprisingly difficult on the easy setting. Guess it will make it last longer though

In summation, it's got some issues, but the game is just so sweet that I still have to give it five stars. I mean, it just looks incredible

DiRT ROCKS!

This game ROCKS! The races are pretty awesome, and have difficulties for any skill driver. The damage graphics are by far the best I have ever seen, and the vehicle choices are nice. The multiplayer isn't that good, but I never play the multiplayer. It took me only about 7 hours to beat it on rookie, but it may take longer on higher difficulty. Overall, this game is great!

Freakin Sweet!

Some of my bros are a lot more savvy with video game terminology than I am and they came over to play some 360 and were stoked on this game. They are avid gamers and couldn't stop talking about the graphics, the interface and the mapping. I don't know a whole lot about games in technical terms but this game is Freakin Sweet!!!

Very fun and addictive. Good for racing beginners.

I've never been into racing games, but Dirt appealed to me. Tried it, loved it, bought it. Since I have no experience since "Rad Racer", I appreaciated the learning curve on "Rookie" setting. The diversity of the tracks and vehicles break up the monotony of "ovals 'round the world" that turned me off most racing games. The graphics are amazing, the sound excellent, and the menus are intuitive and stylish. I have a friend who is a racing game FREAK, and he loved it right away. He didn't have an XBOX, and he went right out and bought one so he could play it. So, if you're at all intrigued by this game, just buy it, and you won't be disappointed.

Arcade upgraded

Very good Graphics and handling for an arcade game, fun for a pro gamer and racing fan. better played with racewheel. 10++ for my taste. Like the way the cars get dirt, landscapes are amazing and very detailed. The swtich camera types like no other games, inside the care seems very realistic when driving and makes you see games racing in other level...

Played, Tested, enjoyed...

Codemaster decides to make it USA friendly.

I'm a huge fan of Colin McRae Rally games from Codemasters. It's the realism. the car handling, the feel of actually driving a rally car. Rally games really haven't penetrated the US market. Only a handful of American enthusiasts cling to this very European sport. I'm one of those Americans. With the release of DiRT, it's pretty obvious that Codemasters toned down the realism of car handling and made it into a very arcadey type of racing. Codemasters went as far as changing the driver and co-driver's voice to an American. No more hard Scottish accents in this game. Now, all you hear is some guy saying American expressions like "I'm stoked! "Awesome all the way!" This is so cool!". I got this feeling this guy was more into surfing and skateboarding than rally driving.

Handling: No realistic powerslides in this game. This is arcade driving all the way. Very easy to do drifting and pendulum turns along tight corners. Cars feel like they're floating on air, almost the car is skating on ice. Braking has been changed to arcade style braking. When you hit the brakes, the car stops like somebody threw a brick wall in front of you. Slight touches on the brakes will put the car to a complete halt. Very unrealistic. Very arcadey. You've been warned.

Graphics: Excellent graphics. No slow downs. Have several driving views. I'm glad they have the dashboard view and bonnet view. I use these views to make everything realistic. Nobody drives behind the car in real life right?

Gameplay: Tons of rally modes. This is a mish mash of different rallies. One minute you're driving a Lancer Evolution and then the next you're driving a MAN trailer truck (without the trailer). Brings some unique driving experiene. They even have the buggy rally. All in all, game can be beaten in a few days. AI not too smart. You can easily dominate them around the turns.

Conclusion: If you're out for a quick rally fix without the real bells and whistles then this game is for you. If you're after realism, wait for the next release. This will disappoint rally loyalists.
