A great to looking but playful rather dubious pleasure

"Dirt" takes a lot before: it is "Colin McRae" combined with the diversity of the last TOCA / DTM part which was apparently very successful commercially. In addition, one might with this rally title conquerors and the American market for the first time and sees itself as a direct competitor to the PS3-roader "MotorStorm" from Sony.
Unfortunately, it lacks "Dirt" in some places, and so is the new Codemasters Engine, which is hereby incorporated technically, the real highlight of the game. The ride was slightly shifted towards arcade, which greatly impairs the typical Colin feeling a little.
The driving physics seems fundamentally aimed at rally car and work with the other off-road classes accordingly not right - what this can then act also very fake total for me. In addition, there are significantly fewer courses than itself nor in direct PSP predecessor "Rally 2005 plus".
Also no longer there, the tire tuning and real weather conditions. All very bad in my opinion.
Nevertheless, "Dirt" as opposed to "MotorStorm", the simulation still fetishists probably sufficient offers fields of activity neither for arcade purists, much richer. And for the PS3 version will be probably still somehow improved.
