I have not yet finished this game, but if you're interested in buying this game, I'm here to tell you you won't regret your purchase overall. I find the game easily manageable for all ages, 'cause simply you can ramp up/down the difficulty level at any point in the game, the difference is you win more money in the more challenging difficulty in order to buy more vehicles as you move up in your career mode. Nice touch! If you enjoyed Motorstorm, this game ranks up there in about the same level of excitement, although, I found Motorstorm a technically more advance IP in terms of graphics and better handdling of vehicles in their terrains. I won't go into detail with this review, but Dirt is a well-rounded game for the PS3 as this little franchise has been in pretty much all the consoles, including the Dreamcast. This latest version, includes fantastic graphics with hardly any slow-down, or frame-rate issues, tracks aplenty(3x more than Motorstorm), and decent controls for an enjoyable package. In a few days Sega Rally Revolution will be hitting the shelves very soon, and with Motorstorm released a few months back, PS3 is starting to beef up its racing portfolio. All great games for everybody. Enjoy.

Awsome game!!

This game is awsome. It lacks more cars as it only has about 50 of them. It has a fair ammount of tracks and they are masterfully designed. It has a few city street tracks but are more town-like. The damage system is awsome, the statistics recording system is great as it tells you all your data (longest jump, longest time on two wheels, total kms played, total time raced, etc) and the fact that there are world records set for every track makes you want to practice to beat it xD. This game is a must-have for ps3 and 360 users. Too bad about Colin though :'(

Dirt - my thoughts

Quite simply: I love this game. My kids (10 and 13) can play it. The learning curve is brilliant if you start at the lowest skill level and progress as you start to find things easier.
GET THIS IF YOU LIKE DRIVING GAMES

My only niggles are: no rain and no two player on one console option. That said the online gaming works fine - just wanted to race my kids and finally show them who is boss!

Good game

The latest installment in the Colin McRea series, DIRT puts you behind the wheel of some great cars and allows competition with others over the internet. Nice graphics and decent control of the vehicles. Dirt

Good Rally Driving Simulation Game

This game strikes a good balance between realistic driving simulation and fun driving that everyone can do it. Its pretty much an evolution of the Colin McRae game. Compared to Sega Rally Revo, this is much better with more realistic driving characteristics. Many different views you can view when driving the car. My favourite is the in-car view where its very realistic, with the RPM, drivers hand position etc. If you like driving simulation, this is a recommended game to get.

The best rally game ever

This is the best rally game I ever played. The career mode is very similar than previous version (Colin Mc Rae sagas) although time, the driving experience feels more real than ever. The graphics and sound are excellent and your oponents (new in this game) make the racing experience more aggressive. I highly recommend this racing game for those gamers that like rally driving experience.

Best balance of realism and arcade ever

I enjoy most driving games, but Dirt has to be one of my new favorites. The driving characteristics of each car are completely different, and with the tweaking you can do it helps bring it you to the next level. The graphics and damage is incredible! The online connection adds even more to the game by giving you information of other people completing the career mode and of course you can drive against people online. If you like driving games and enjoy being able to dial your car in for each track, this is the game for you.

Best rally game for PS3

Great game if you love rally. Realistic graphics and handling, the lighting and background detail on the PS3 is a lot better than the 360. I think of motorstorm as more of a kid-fun boost until you blow-up kind of game, where as DiRT is a true rally enthusiast game with realistic damage.

The only problem i have with this game is no multiplayer. I want to play with the person sitting next to me, not online, but all the new games seem to be that way.

A DiRTy Little Addiction

This is a game that on the outside looks like any other driving game. All I can say is that this game is a complete addiction. I'm having flashbacks of the early days of the Nintendo Entertainment System when my wife worked 2nd shift and I would play Super Mario Bros for hours on end. That was 15 or so years ago and hate to say it, but this game has the same potential to do the same thing that NES did to me...BAD but this game is NUTS!! I LOVE IT!!!

Don't hesitate...Just get this one and enjoy. DiRT is the BEST offroad racing game that I've played. EVER! PERIOD!

Amazing level of realism

I am into simulations both in games and professionally in physics; and while I can see some aspects of how they try to ensure the driving is not too difficult or frustrating it is still an extremely detailed and accurate simulation of a Rally driving experience. I am especially amazed by how much realism they put into the interaction between the vehicle and the surround obstacles in the environment like bushes, trees, guard rails, roadsigns, fences, rocks, logs, and any other debris on or around the track. That includes bits and pieces of other cars that sustain damage during the race. I mention the damage modeling here almost as an aside but the only word to describe the detail and depth of the accurate simulation here is Awesome. You have to see it to believe it - I would recommend this game to any driving sim enthusiast.
