   This game is pure awesome, and as close to real as a racing game can get while staying fun for the average gamer. I'm not a Forza or Grand Turismo fan, the burnout and NFS series' have always held my heart, but this semi-sim has just the right amount of challenge and reward to keep me coming back to it. The lack of anything but improvised hot seat multiplayer at home is sad, but the single player is incredible enough to play and watch that you and your friends won't mind taking turns. Dirt for the win!… Expand

   After reading the comments on this page so far its obvious that the hard core McRae fans are dissapointed byt the lack of pure realism in the game. I have many rally games including the Mcrae franchise and world rally etc and as far as looks go this one beats them all hands down. The handing of the cars can be made to feel more like a rally game if you change it correctly in the set up but I understand where people are comming from when they say its not a rally game. It is however a fun fun game, i love the big Chevy 4x4 races. Its Just fun, I know that the physics isnt spot on but i still have a smile on my face. If you just want a pure rally feel prob best to get the new sega rally game but if you want a great racer thats fun by Dirt! Biggest down fall is the lack of 2 player. Rest in Peace Col, you're a legend.… Expand

   I'll sum it up this way... the dirt in DiRT just doesn't feel like dirt. For one, the braking is ridiculously powerful... ever slammed on the brakes on an unpaved surface? You slide straight ahead. Not in DiRT. No sir, in DiRT you simply STOP with teeth-jarring suddenness. On top of that, nearly every vehicle in the game steers with go-kart-quick twitchiness. Where is the finesse of sliding a loose back end around tight corners? DiRT gets an 8 for the impressive visuals and the addition of new types of vehicles, but a 4 for the gameplay and unrealism... net result, this game is a 6, and a big disappointment.… Expand

   I am a huge fan of the McRae series. This one is terrible, though. No car stops this fast, corners exactly the same on dirt, wet gravel and pavement, or has such a bad framerate drop from the in car view, which has always been my favorite. the framerate is fine outside the car but from inside it is aweful, and there is no excuse for that given that the game is not really utilizing the power available though the 360. Glad the free demo was available..I won't be buying this one even on half.com for 2 bucks. It just infuriates me because I loves the francise until now. The last regular xbox version is completely superior in physics and smoothness. Maybe next time.… Expand
