Introduction
Racing Car games have never really apealled to me, until I set upon Colin McCrae: DiRT. At first, I just ought the game for online purposes, and to compete against my friends online, which is when I learnt that there is a lot, lot more to this game than that.
Graphics |
 |
This gets a difinate 10/10 for graphics. They are stunning; the way it's completely realistic effects from tyres and such, no matter the surface that you drive upon. Being gravel, dirt, or tarmac, it's just jaw dropping.
The cars damage looks awesome, hitting a tree, damaging the front of the car, and you can actually the carnage it caused, with the dent being incredibly realistic.Also with the envirnment, colliding with it, it actually damages, braking fences, rubber tyres flying and such.
7 different driving views make it so you have a different driving experience everytime, from the driving seats, or a view behind the vehicle, excellent no matter where from.
Sound |
 |
The sound for this game is incredibly realistic, gaer shifting, engine sounds, braking, it all sounds superb, and adds to the gaming experience. You can hear the metal colliding when your vehicle rubs with another, or with the environment.
Each car has it's own unique sound, the buggy, truck or whatever you drive has it's own sound. The only flaw with the sound is in the off game, there is one boring song, that plays over and over, and can get very tedius.

Lastability |

This game can last a hell of a long time, with Career, taking a fair few amount of hours to complete, plus the championships take quite a long time to complete. And when you get bored of them, theres always testing your skill online, which can be one hell of a blast!
Overall |

I would definately give this game around a 9 out of 10, because it's simply an amazing game, and the amazement lasts a long time, as all of the many tracks have stunning graphics, and decent environment that provide a challenge. As said, this is a MUST BUY for Rally fans, that enjoy a touch of gaming.
