Those were the days when Colin McRae was still alive

Do you remember you still? It launched a championship, drove by many countries in various areas in 8 stages and the length of the stages were long so good 3 to 6 minutes after each stage 2 could you in the garage with a time of 60 min. To repair your vehicle, have looked at the info screen, what the best tires were what is on the line for flooring, then you have all that you could then make himself chosen even other vehicle settings such as the hardness of the suspension, the Getriebsübersetzung and much more. After the vehicle settings returned 2 Good Old Rally stages and already you could tweak and fix the car again.

Today it seems to me, as if the racing games for children and adolescents up to 16 years be.

Dirt 3 in my opinion is a graphic demonstration, nothing more. The Dirt Tour is in my opinion very boring, Codemasters has not what promised 60% rally in the game? Yes it actually come some rally stages before, but the joke is, the Rally events can only be done in 4 countries.
Kenya, Michigan, Finland and Norway, which are ridiculous rally tracks.
When I started the very first race, I was in Kenya at the beginning I said immediately "finally a back to the roots" but when I was very fast at the finish I thought: "Has anyone here gespuhlt time forward?" No, the lines are actually very short, most go to 1:25 to 1:47, and that's no joke that's really true.

The other 4 areas Aspen, LA Colloseum, Monaco and Smelter are the areas where your disciplines Rallycross, Landrush and Head 2 Head.

The field is available for each discipline only 2 routes which there are again back stretch, the joke is that all routes called something else, like the LA Colloseum, but there are actually imprinzip of the 4 tracks in the game only 2 routes, the rest are again the same routes in the reverse direction.

This Gymkhana has lost nothing in this game, at the beginning I thought, hey makes it so fun but very quickly is this Gymkhana too monotonous and then you think, "This should be a rally game?".

Your constantly makes donuts, drift, spins, drives under trucks through or so goes to yellow boxes, which is in my opinion with the time much too boring and monotonous, so you quickly get tired has the Gym ... continue playing.

I now turn to the pros and cons table:

Pro:

-Very Nice Contemporary Graphics
-About 50 vehicles to choose from
-The Ranking system in online mode and offline mode very motivated, the Level System from the Online mode works together with the offline mode ranking if its one level comes in the online ranking, so you'll get bonus points for the reputation of your Offline levels.
-In The Online mode I virtually no lags gespührt (after 4 Stunten online time)
-The Menu is good and clear.
-There Are again weather conditions like snow and rain.

Neutral:

-The Load times could be faster, especially because the game is installed on the hard disk of the PS3 console, the load times should not take that long really.
-The Soundtracks zwiespaltig, the rock songs quite liked me, but the House and Hip Hop songs have lost in this game, I think not, but that's a matter of taste.
-The Split screen mode is a nice thing by Codemasters, but half as much fun as in the older parts, it lacks the complete overview map, you go blind around the area, play times with your joys older Colin makes this split-screen mode is not time in Dirt 3 Mcrae parts, as you will see what a real split screen, in Colin Mcrae Rally 2 drove to the stages together in split-screen and there you had the good old stretch arrows and play in the recent Colin McRae 04 and 2005, she travels the stages separately, So only one player and then player 2, also because they had the good old arrows and the passenger, who gives the instructions in Dirt 3 falls all completely and is therefore tedious and frustrating

Cons:

-The Promised 60% rally in the Dirt Tour are a giant joke
-The Rally stages are much too short
-The Synchro is a katapstrophe, every time I hear almost only "thou hast aber fein hammer out" or as already mentioned here by some "Ohhh no, the robots are going, you have to save the world" as well as Ken Block Synchro is just a bad joke, the Synchro votes in the race and in the menus easy to talk too much senseless stuff around, so you want to switch the TV on mute prefer what Codemasters was thinking? It used to be easily won a rally championship and then it was on it, "they have mastered the Rally in xxx, on to the next rally." In Dirt 3 you will ever vollbequatscht after each race and in the menu of senseless comments.
-The Dirt Tour is my opinion, very tedious and thus has the worst "Career Mode" in the history of Codemasters games.
After good 5 hours, has seen of the routes sated and all routes are repeated constantly, because it there hardly diversified and you are constantly babble of the as already mentioned above, poor Synchro only.
-The offline ranking system only goes to level 30, even at 52% game progress I was on Level 30, the higher level system is no longer, the game appeals to me the less, it play through 100%

My conclusion:

Expectations of Dirt 3 were simply too high, the rally share is far too low, the lines are repeated very fast and the synchro and the Dirt tour is a Katapstrophe, Oh Colin, what those were for times when you were still alive Colin McRae would turn in his grave.
If you like this Gymkhana and you do not care that there are hardly any rally tracks and that the track number is low and just want to see a brilliant graphics and still have a good online game want to, then it would Dirt 3 is right for you, but a tip from me, does not make the same mistake that I made, you borrow from the game, or waiting until it will cost less than half, I was annoyed that I Dirt 3 at full price Bought.

Schade Codemasters, you could get as much out of this game and it would have had a lot of potential, but why do not you use that from? most people want but just again the good old rally have, as it used to be.

I have Colin McRae Rally 2005 retold from the shelves, because that simply is much more fun, so a proper rally game should look like, the first part of the Dirt series was good, it was a lot and the most important long rally stages. Since Colin McRae Rally game Dead to the world has changed.

Rest in Peace Colin
