If I go times equal to a: For me, the 2nd part on the PSOne the best part.
The successors were all crap! At least when it came to control the cars.
Always one had the feeling the car would be put on a small needle into the center of the vehicle and when the vehicle skidded and tingelte tangelte it back and forth ... cruel!
One can not put into words the horror easy. Normally you go (even the layman) assuming that the vehicle breaks out with the tail, so overdriven because the front engine yes is the center of gravity at a rally cars (Love Cars Cracks: perhaps the Laiengewäsch, so please leave leniency).
From the 3rd part to the 5th part of CMR any degree of realism the graphic was thrown overboard, and beefed up the cool Inboardperspektive get deleted.
What remains is the "grandma Pachulke drives shopping" perspective ...
you know what I mean: teeth at the wheel, under the front windshield ...
That may be for people with Racing Wheel beneficial, but not for "normal people".
Anyway, for a few days the first playable demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace is available and now I have it pulled me.
After the start and the usual "This demo is not the final final" Laber rhubarb, then I was able to select 3 vehicles: the brand new Subaru Impreza WRC, the Mitsubishi Lancer WRC and a beach buggy homegrown inspired by "Mad Max III".
Route choice from falls: Choose the Impreza, you drive in a Super Special Stage (ie in the circle after WRC rules) against the master himself, to choose the Lancer you start on a fantasy Special Stage in the US (although even after WRC rules) and one chooses finally the buggy you start on a dirt track in the US against 10 other lunatics (NPCs).
Let's be honest (Germany = Veteran country): since the first part of CMR, the series has never been Graphically the nakedness! So also in DiRT. The graphics are fantastic detail.
And after playing around with the camera angles I've made almost in the pants with joy: for the first time in the CMR series can look at the car from the front! Why not? Who modeled so nice cars, they should also show in all their glory!
And what but much, much more beautiful: the cool Egoperspektive is back! My beloved helmet camera! Fine, fine, fine .... (and you can even look around a little in the cockpit!)
Nevertheless, I noticed what unpleasant. If you ride with his bullet in the Pampas (ie away from the tourist trails and on excursions, brand "search still Plänzchen for my Herbarium") then you have all the flora between the seats. In other words: the last underbody wash was too spicy ... so you not only have grass in the vehicle, but also scorpions, rattlesnakes and one or the other (Willy) coyote (s). As the Englishman should still working on it ... and underneath a hard rooms, German subsoil;)
Speaking of quality in English cars;)
The damage model is a class of its own and should mean to all other developers of racing games the crown of creation.
Even the verdrecken of Boliden is a feast for the eyes. Fun einzusauen makes the car ... It lacks only the real-up clapping insects on the windscreen and how they are slowly pushed aside. Or one or the other wild rabbits on the bumper ... Ok joking aside, after all, I give myself just bother to write a serious review :) (Haha, Target missed far)
Go to the last time I rest on the ... (we all love that word ...) driving physics.
I'm almost again tilted from the flops! 4 words rich: BACK TO THE ROOTS. No "needle suspension" but Grundsolides Colin McRae 2-Feeling! Astrein! Superb! Excellent!
Geschlidder, gedrifte, squealing and hysterical bawling my part, that describes everything.
Oh ... very nochwas Great was finally integrated: the button configuration to their own taste. In other words: everyone is allowed to allocate its knöpchen for Use Up / Down switch itself. Very nice touch. Unfortunately, you can not mess around in the great options, so that was so far the only thing I noticed is very pleasant (in the Options section).
Again back to the point graphic. What I still miss the freely adjustable external camera as known eg from TDU, Forza, Forza 2, PGR etc.
Well, you can not have everything.
Finally, the inevitable conclusion:
Since Part 4 and to the demo I have any Colin McRae parts ignored disappointed. Since today the God I know again just yet even car drives and punishes every now and then angry developers with the lightning. And show you the way to a promising future. Sometimes that's how it is. But that can give me and the developers of CMR DiRT mean only a splendid and long-lasting relationship. Especially when one looks back on the perverse difficulty with English playing time ... (I say only ODT Must Have for masochists)
