It has never been a simulation!

I understand that people do not always complain that the Colin McRae series has become arcade-heavy and no (playable) simulation, especially the last 3 previous comments are without solid evidence.

I played Colin McRae Rally since the first part and in the third was all quite ridiculous and unrealistic. Speaking of realism: CmR has always been an arcade rally game with simulation bonds. Those who expect a true-simulation should rather play Richard Burns Rally, but that's to play and have fun again something too heavy and frustet also fast times.

CmR Rally 1 and 2 were for me simply great games were played which perfectly with arcade and simulation, but since everything was verschlechter CmR Rally 3, because the game was a pure arcade game. One can with 180km / h in a 45-75 degree curve heat without coming off the track, the car slips just as on the streets (of any court) and to get it out off the track then the car shaking violently abnormally , So of simulation one can speak as no longer. It is more comparable to Ridge Racer or Sega Rally, which are pure arcade games, but CmR was with part 1 and 2, since Part 3 Codemasters tried to somehow force themselves in the Arcade column, but this is absolutely failed.

Dirt versa finally back to its roots and is a perfect mix of arcade and simulation. Although you can not heat with 180km / h by a curve, but even without the handbrake is not also. Who uses the brake is your fault, this slow down a needlessly from, in rallying the handbrake is mainly used, and lo and behold, even one whizzes around the curves and thus secures the pole position.

Unfortunately, there is a star deduction, even though the game is easy Graphical and playful insanity, because unfortunately there is no weather effects that no falling rain or snow, which looked very nice 3 in CmR Rally, especially. In the cockpit view with the windshield wipers

This should be possible on a next-gen console today, when a load-Gen console as the PS2 such things can even represent. And unfortunately, it was with the bloom effect somewhat exaggerated, because sometimes, a simple street sign one's undoing by reflecting the sun and you almost nothing more can be seen and therefore seeks the next trench. But but the lighting effects in the cockpit are really nice, even if in some cars, the view is obstructed by extremely grating, but as you drive in real life.

Otherwise, the graphics engine 1a and is also in the next DTM Driver 4 have his grand entrance.

Want CmR Dirt is have each player arcade of a little simulation but can not do anything with simulations like Forza 2 or Richard Burns Rally exactly right. All other simulation freaks should switch to something else.

Dirt is a game to be fun and a game usually includes unrealistic content. Who wants to have pure realism should simply walk out the door, the graphics are stunning and calculated in real time and the physics just great * g *
