A good game, wiedermal ...

Positive
+ Narrower streets (requires more concentration - to wide roads have made in the previous drift a lot easier, so errors are more likely to be punished)
+ Flasks & Minerals (abbreviate longer possible not too frequent)
+ Super graphic on status of Dirt 2 (MMN)
+ Online mode with tens of modes of Rally to Fun Events as they were already in Forza 3
+ Hardcore mode in the online game available (without driver aids and cockpit view enforced = equal opportunities for all)
+ Very long career that stretches very little
+ Many cars
+ Control is good to very good (with the previous review was alleged that you can only drive with driver aids, ie without driving aids it plays like Dirt 2, and is a bit more sophisticated since then the car breaks easier when you disable all .. . who drove racing games like Forza or Shift 2 will be overwhelmed here by no means)
+ Great weather effects like snow showers or rain + snow slopes
+ Loading time before the race at installation, human and felt faster than its predecessor (Gamestar wrote some 45 seconds, this was probably not installing the game were measured on the Xbox)
+ New Gymkhana mode of a lot of fun and is preparing something different
+ Split Screen - rare nowadays, unfortunately
+ Bests with Ghostcar

Negative
- More sterile career and Menu's, one point to lifeless
- Distances are often related
- A handful of spectators along the course and if so, then rather ugly
- Music is not so great as its predecessor
- Long rally stages until far later in the career, previously only very short stages
- Generally still too short rally tracks, per Section 20 km or more I would have preferred
- Less to unlock than its predecessor
