Colin McRae: DiRT on PS3

Brilliant

BigC from Woking [Highly rated reviewer] , 07/12/2007

Again, with most 3rd gen racers at the moment you dont get multiplayer on the machine, but online is great. You can race against 99 other people on the same server (works time based, you dont get 100 cars on one track...) and its always really challenging and really fun.

Single player is interesting and rewarding. The graphics (when seen on a decent HD TV) are outstanding, especially on the PS3

Imagine if Gran Turismo only did Rally

KatiMark from Warwickshire, England [Highly rated reviewer] , 14/01/2008

After playing all of the Gran Turismo games, obviously as this is next gen, it knocks the socks off all the other versions. It really is an exciting game, especially the rallycross events which do tend to be my favourite as I get to shunt other drivers off the track (obviously a fair way to win!).

This is easily the best racing game out at the moment, I think if they were to create the same gameplay and style in another game but made it track events only it would win over a lot more fans. But lets face it, Gran Turismo will always win in this area. Only true rally gamers will appreciate the complexity of the racing in this game. The damage is especially realistic but not spoilt like in the recent Forumla One games. When playing CORR racing in buggys, when your formula ford style wheels lock together, you will be spinning off the track with the unlucky driver you 'locked horns' with. Very nicely done.

Very Underrated!

JaKeUtd from Blackpool , 22/07/2009

Great racing game which can be enjoyed by all, even if you have never watched any sort of Rally racing before. With a great mix of racing events, cars and a long career you can be enjoying yourself for a long time. It is definitely worth a purchase if you are just looking to try before you buy. The online also still has a dedicated community with which you find a race easily. Don't miss out on this, play it so you can be ready and used to the series before the DiRT2 arrives this autumn.

Not the same...

A customer from Somewhere in the UK , 02/01/2008

Having spent a few hours on CMDirt I can say that I am disappointed. Being a fan of the old CM games I found this to be very 'arcadey'' and the American accent drives me nuts!

Aside from that - graphics are good, gameplay fast and smooth, lot's of variety so will probably win some new fans, at least those that don't take driving games too seriously.

I am sure that if I spent many more hours 'getting into' the game I would discover much more but unfortunately I don't have the patience.
