Although not really a simulator, for pure gaming fun! If only the incidents were not ...

In Dirt 3 is in my opinion a more arcade racer as a high-quality rally simulator. That's how I find the basis of a Dirt3 rating because to have when you're getting into it, bought a simulator, but a pointed arcade racing game with any mege Action and entertaining conversation, you should be really happy with the game! Because it brings a lot of gameplay, varied challenges and a wide range of different vehicles that can be matched even in driving behavior personally. The typical rally flair is probably mostly stay out, for that you get a fun sport atmosphere, just as you would or Ken Block Drift video only knows of the old Tony Hawk games, Nitro Circus on Youtube. And who so lives can, is to buy not regret me!

But one thing is annoying enormously to the game and these are the really crashes often occur. For me, even the game crashed three times in succession from loading. In general, the load times and cutscenes are a little too high (which regard. The load times can not really be my hardware). So since there is clear improvement potential. Generally, it is an outrage that games so bugged and immature to throw on the market earlier's gave the much rarer. And then even this unnecessary Games for Windows Live. All this is REALLY NOT EVEN! Hopefully there creates nen Patch remedy, but why not "patched" the game put out ...

Here is a brief overview of the pros and con's:

Pro:
+ Engine and exhaust sound
+ Wide range of vehicles
+ Many different disciplines, including Gymkhana and drift challenges
+ Stylish and modern automotive finishes and sponsors labels, including Nixon, Rockstar, Osiris, DC Shoes, etc.
+ Vehicles are technically tunable
+ Vehicle damage very realistic
+ Casual atmosphere with nice comments from the pit crew
+ Duration

Neutral:
+/- Graphics
+/- Little pure rally racing and more lifestyle play as Rally Game
+/- Handling of the vehicles (as I said, not a real simulator)
+/- Never Hillclimp

Con's:
- Common crashes
- Poor balance (lower levels of difficulty a joke, then very demanding!)
- Long loading times
- Games for Windows Live compulsory registration if you want to use the full potential of the game - for me ne impudence!

ADDENDUM:
The crashes are, although I have not yet patched the game, become considerably less. Maybe my PC had that day simply move them Durchänger. Nevertheless, the crashes unfortunately remain of not fully and the load times are still too long for me personally ...
