A DiRTy Little Addiction

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 6 / 6

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!

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.

Most realistic driving game on the market.

Dirt brings those crazy European rally races into your entertainment room. The way that the game makers allow the cars behave on the real-as-life dirt tracks is remarkable. This is probably the first driving game that has actually made me pay for my driving errors. When ever nick a corner or fish tail into a barrier it effects the performance of my car and I'll end up having to dish out money after the race to fix it. Anyway it is flippin sweet!

Great, easy gameplay. Lots of fun

I haven't finished the game yet, but so far, the game has been very fun to play and exceeds my expectation. This is the reason I purchased me PS3 and I'm not regretting 1 penny of it.

This is the first ps3 game I've purchased. It's very easy to navigate. The driving is fun. I've downloaded the demo version of Juiced, and DiRT surpasses that game by far.

The thing I like most about this game is that I loved playing the rally portions of GT4, but felt it didn't have enough rally courses available. For those that like drifting and rallies in general, this is the game for you!

One of the Best Racing Game

I second all the good reviews on this game. I'm addicted to it and enjoying the challenge it is offering at every stage of the game. Complete justice to modern Hi-Def video games. Supports up to HD 1080p. High quality graphics. Dolby digital audio for the best sound experience.

It takes a little practice for the beginners to get the handle on drifting. Once you master it, it is lot of fun.

Don't have money to buy a real expensive race cars? Don't worry, this game will help you buy and drive the virtual ones :) There are plenty of awesome looking vehicles.

Total entertainment. Very satisfied.

You can almost smell the exhaust

Being a born again fan of racing games thanks largly to the ps3's sixaxis controler and it's steering wheel sensors, I went on a quest for the best racing game avalible for my shiny new ps3. I can honestly say that I didn't buy a bad game out there, then I saw Dirt and decided to try it. To my immediate disapointment there was NO motion sensor option for the controls. Feeling let down I pressed on ahead only to find I needed a spatula to get my jaw off the floor.

The graphics in this game are by far the closest you will get to the thrill of piloting a front wheel drive hatchback down a hair pin turned road in Gremany, Japan, or wherever else. Multi views, excellent replays, and scenery you need a harness to keep from watching while driving makes this game a real work of art.

The meat of the game comes from career mode. Here you go through a whole galaxy of events from time trials, match racing, off road derbys, and hill climbs to win money and points to unlock events. One very nice feature of this is that you can set the difficulty for each event. So if you do good on hill climbs but not on time trials, then you can up the difficulty and win more money which in turn buys more cars. There is also no shortage of tracks in this game which means pretty much every drive I've had so far has been a new experiance each time.

Over all, hands down, I would have to give this game my personal recomendation to anyone who's looking for a game with looks as well as substance. It's very very pretty.

Playseats Evolution + Logitech G25 + Dirt = Awesome

After stumbling across a YouTube video of someone racing in a Playseats chair with a Logitech G25 mounted on it, I had no choice but to order the same setup. I gave up on my previous idea of tracking down a Wii and decided to go the PS3 virtual racing route. Then it was time to pick out a game that would do the seat and wheel system some justice. I considered getting the old PS2 classic, Gran Turismo 4, but quickly chose Dirt after reading the reviews.

After setting up my racing chair and wheel, I fired up Dirt, expectations running high. The level of realism and control impressed me right away. I cranked up the Force Feedback in the game options (near maximum) and liked the extra "weight" in the wheel. The metal shifters built into the wheel on the Logitech G25 are great, but there is apparently no way to utilize the system's "standard" 6-speed gear shifters in Dirt. It's a shame, but not a deal breaker. It was easy to get the hang of using the clutch pedal as a brake and shifting with the steering wheel shifters.

Overall, Dirt is an amazing game with a ton of variety and plenty of incentive to keep you playing for a long time (i.e. Career Mode and online play). From riceburners to semi trucks, paved tracks to remote deserts... The game keeps you on your toes. One notable feature is that vehicles, trees, railings, etc. can be pushed, bent, and moved around. Highly recommended overall, especially with the seat and wheel setup (and a huge HDTV) -- if you can swing it!

4.5 stars would be appropriate, but I'll round up to 5 for the sheer fun factor when Dirt is played in the correct setting.

Awesome game!

Dirt was one of the best racing games I've ever played, its by far the best Rally game I've ever played... For all Gran Turismo lovers, this is one you might want to pick up. The graphics are incredible, the racing physics are excellent, and the car damage system is awesome. I highly recommend this game to any and all racing lovers. ENJOY!! (I sure did..)

Great game overall, if you like arcade racers

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.
