I finally gave in last week, and bought Dirt3, I’ve only ever been interested in the WRC and Colin Mcrae rally games (before they started adding the RallyX and landrush type modes), and for this reason, I never bought Dirt2, after being disappointed with the first in this series. And I have to say I love it, the handling and cars seem great, not sure all of the surfaces react the way they should, ice/snow definitely don’t. I’ll capture some gameplay soon, but for now, enjoy these videos of my gameplay using the built in Youtube upload feature, I hope more games use this kind of thing.
Below: karma does exist in racing.
A finaly recommendation, if you’re used to driving games, CHANGE THE SETTINGS, alter the driving assist to Intermediate or something if you haven’t already. The casual setting is far too forgiving, it keeps the car perfectly steady, automatically controls the throttle, allowing you to race round a whole stage without lifting your finger of the trigger once.
