    Dirt 4
    Deep but generic
    Dirt 4 is a racing game all about rally cars, and this rally simulator gets pretty deep… Before the game starts it asks if you’re here for fun or here for simulation... I chose fun but the game just couldn’t deliver for me… Dirt 4 Features a lengthy career mode, an academy to learn the ropes, free roam, free play, trials, and competitive online options with up    Dirt 4

    Dirt 4 is a racing game all about rally cars, and this rally simulator gets pretty deep…
    Before the game starts it asks if you’re here for fun or here for simulation...
    I chose fun but the game just couldn’t deliver for me…
    Dirt 4 Features a lengthy career mode, an academy to learn the ropes, free roam, free play, trials, and competitive online options with up to 8 players…
    There are 4 types of event you can do here….
    There’s land rush which is truck and buggy racing around boring dirt tracks… rally cross which is a circuit race around boring asphalt tracks… and finally Rally and Historic Rally which are really the stars of this show…
    The game has a great soundtrack but sadly during races you have a voice in your ear telling you the upcoming turns as there is no mini map to race with…
    And each race gives you challenges for extra credits that you can use to buy new cars, upgrade your parts, and pay your team that you hire to repair your car more efficiently as you do take damage, which is why it’s important to pay attention to the commands from your partner while racing..
    Sadly these rally races much like the circuit races also get boring fairly quickly…
    There are seemingly endless amounts of rally tracks here with different terrain and weather to deal with….
    These tracks are endless because they are procedurally generated…
    In modes outside of career in particular, you choose the length and complexity on a slider and with that information the game generates a track
    if you’ve been around my channel long you know that procedural generation is my favorite thing in the world...
    That’s sarcasm…
    I hate procedural generation and Dirt 4 does a great job of showcasing why this is…
    Every single track despite being different feels exactly the same no matter the weather I’m dealing with…
    The problem with procedural generation is that it lacks the handcrafted care levels in practically every game need… this is especially true for racing games
    Its artificial replayability…
    I’ll play the same great hand crafted track 100 times before ill play 100 procedural tracks…
    This procedural generation quickly exhausts this game for me…
    And that’s a shame because it is so deep…
    The cars handle wonderfully, there are time attacks and smash attack obstacle courses to finer tune your drifting and handling skills….
    There is love in this game… just not in the actual tracks where it desperately needs to be..
    Again, at the start of the game you’re asked if you want fun or simulation...
    Those that choose simulation no doubt in my mind will think this game is great or even amazing...
    But those here for fun...
    Look someplace else…
    I give Dirt 4
    a 7.5/10    … Expand

    If you have a wheel, and you like this game buy DiRT Rally! You will love it. DiRT Rally is better in every aspect. And no, it is not too hard (speaking a relatively noob), it's just the best rally sim you can play on PS4. It's the closest thing to having fun with a car in real life. It will make you rally happy, believe me :)

    After some more playing I must come to the conclusion that it is still a great game. Except for the game modes that do not involve rally cars. Those are terrible. Bad AI, Bad physics. I had to turn down the difficulty of the whole game just to get these alternative modes done with and continue with the best part. Rally racing!

    Featuring excellent gameplay on challenging tracks, DIRT 4 also offers a nice variety of different rallying categories. Nevertheless, in the area that counts the most, timed stages, DIRT 4 offers too little variety in terms of events, with stages in only 5 different countries. To make matters worse, stages within the same countries all look the same.. In short, it’s decent rally game, butFeaturing excellent gameplay on challenging tracks, DIRT 4 also offers a nice variety of different rallying categories.

    Once you strap yourself into the rollcaged bucket seat of Dirt 4 it’ll be extremely tough to extricate yourself from it anytime soon. [September 2017, p69]

    Finishing a race carries as much emotional punch as entire other games. [Aug 2017, p.94]

    DiRT 4 is postulated as the best videogame of rallies of this generation. It has many hours of fun, many game modes and a competent online. However the technical section is not what was expected.
