I thought myself to be good at racing games (forza 6) but in this game I keep crashing, flipping the vehicle and driving off cliffs. Even with all assissts on I am having troubles. I played Dirt, Dirt 2 and other codemasters titles. Still I welcome the challenge. And now, I'm much better at this game. I'm using a controller not a wheel but I admit it will be more enjoyable if u play it with a wheel… Expand

This isn't as easy to pick up as other games, but if you hang in for awhile and get used to it, it is a very fun game. No rewinds and limited restarts for events, so you have to be accurate and pick your spots to take chances. I have never felt happier to finish in the top 3 in a racing game before. If you like realistic racing games give this a spin.… Expand

Now saying that I have also played Dirt 1 though to 3 and I loved them all, but this has to be the most accurate in most recent years (that I played).
   
   Don't expect to go into this game a champ, the difficulty is punishing I chose RWD (rear wheel drive) don't do this unless you are adept at controling rear wheel drive cars, it was fine on sold surfaces and gravel but in snow could I get it to go round a corner no i could not, when going off the track in some places it will but you right back which can be annoying, it happend to me going round an hair pin in greese my front tire touch the apex and I was reset on track but later in the same track I slid off the track and expected it to reset me because I DID fly away but it didn't which gave me a really bad split time.
   
   Graphicly it brilliant, the over all feel is fantastic, I'm going to spend somemore time with over the coming weeks, but it's going to take alot of practice to back into the flow of things been ruined with too many arcade stye racing games.… Expand

   There is a lot of confusion with this game, so I even signed up to write my first review here and share my experience. I grew up on ColinThere is a lot of confusion with this game, so I even signed up to write my first review here and share my experience. I grew up on Colin McRae series and, my first game was 2.0 and my last game was 2005 because of the direction Codemasters went with their future games, drifting away from the concept of classical rally. I'm also a rally fan and ex-junior league pilot IRL, so I won't complain that car is not going straight with full throttle on gravel. It's old school in Dirt Rally, so if you're like me and heard about CmR franchise or even played Richard Burns rally, grab it, you won't be disappointed. Of course you don't need to be a rally pilot IRL to play and enjoy this game, but there is a learning curve. And the more you know about rallying, the easier it will be for you. If you're an absolute beginner, proceed with caution. My advice is to try the game before you'll buy it or get it on sale like I did.
   
   What you need to know: there is no rewind, there is no pay to win, VIP status or style points. One of the biggest misconceptions is that you need a steering wheel to enjoy the game: you don't. It's easily playable on controller with minor adjustments, but keep in mind that the way you drive in rally games is far different than you drive traditional track racing games. You will be correcting your trajectory constantly and that's perfectly normal.
   
   Is this a hard game? No, if you know the basics and ready to learn from your mistakes, but It's unforgiving by today standards. I completed 1/6 of first open championship while speaking on the phone on 2nd position with several restarts, but without knowledge of the tracks using Alpine A110 on XB1 controller, only adjusting saturation and sensitivity. Yes, there was some minor car tuning (gear ration, brake balance and no suspension tricks).
   
   I'm strongly advising all beginners to visit Tutorial section, starting with the part called Mindset.… Expand

You can'tIf you are a pad player, stay as far away from this as you can. When playing with a pad, the cars will begin to act like clown cars. You can't drive straight, you can't keep the car in slide and overall feeling is like driving on the moon. Funny how people are calling this a simulator. The physics are so bad the avgn should do an episode from this. There is absolutely no consistency in the handling. Never have I ever seen sides of the road so deadly as here. Even the smallest objects will send your car flying. If you drive just an inch off the road, your car will immediately solve the problem of interstellar travel and find itself on Mars.
   
   But when you plug in a racing wheel and pedals every handling issue vanishes like a fart in the wind. I found myself driving almost two times faster than I did with a pad. But physics are still there an they suck ass.
   
   The car roster is pathetic, music sucks and track list is too small. Sensation of speed doesn't translate very well. It's difficult to know when to brake, when it seems like you are doing 70mph but when you look at the speedometer you are actually doing 100mph. Co driver notes are always too early or too late, so you have to memorize every track. Hardly rally anymore, is it?
   
   Looks like we are still waiting for the perfect "next gen" rally game. This isn't it.… Expand

It's the same guys that bought out the franchise of wrc 4 and there horrid with controls over the car slow in all aspects!! an atmosphere of the game they made so yes dirt rally is not apart of the real dirt franchise. If you, like me thought we were gonna get a real detailed next gen with great controls over your car/ avatar. You won't, just go buy dirt 3. Or like me i'm running back out to return this an purchase back dirt 3!!!!… Expand
