Dirt 3-PC Review

Did you ever drive on the snow in a Ford Fiesta @190 kmph?. To be honest, I'd be terrified to cross into triple digits on roads so narrow. But to be able to experience such a feat in a safe environment is divine. Dirt 3 delivers this power, reminding rally nuts what a fun ride this series is.


You need not worry about the terrain you are driving on, since dirt 3 provides 6 tune-up options to sustain your ride on any type of terrain. Driving through Finland, Michigan, Norway, LA, Kenya, and Monaco feels superb. Cars respond effectively to the slightest control touches and the need for tight braking stands out. The addition of rain, snow, and nighttime driving is not simply cosmetic – headlights are required, wipers stay busy, and tires are tested. 

On the event side, Rally gets the maximum count. Apart from Rally there are many cool events present. The main tour is split into four seasons, but as the podiums add up, six discipline-specific tours emerge, pushing the total race count to even higher numbers. The locations, track variations, and event types make this a ride that lasts a long time. And with so many time-specific events, repeating races is a surefire path to longevity.


Codemasters made an odd choice with car collections. Out of many cars, only some are best known. So before you take on any race you need to take a test drive on the track, not to mention it is not present. But don't get me wrong there are also some cool cars you would want to ride on. Regardless of their organization, the full set of cars is impressive. You have cars ranging from the 80's to S2000's and many more..

Dirt 3 is the best looking Dirt game to date. If you want to experience full power of the game, you need to have latest graphic card, baby!!. Cause the details laid out are so intricate and superb, it feels as if you are really driving the car. Graphics are not cosmetic. Car bodies collect dust and snow buildup, and the shiny gleam of rain on the windshield sets the tone of a muddy race. Several adjustments can be made to smooth the ride. Whether you opt for performance or awesome graphic display, it is in your hands.

In Dirt 3, triangles are the design center of the menu presentation. These unfolding shapes reveal events, seasons, tours and freeplay options. Even the menus of the four seasons are made of pyramids. The pyramids open up to display the events in them.

You know what is one more cool feature about this game, Youtube. Yeah!! Youtube. You can upload your ride onto the youtube. But as we know every good comes at a cost, the race clips are limited to thirty seconds. Replays also can't be saved, so unless you upload a small clip online, all records are lost. 

Coming to most coolest thing of all, we have Gymkhana Grounds. In Gymkhana, you can spin,roll, do a big air time, smash blocks, jump high in the air, do donuts and many more. You have a entire menu dedicated to that.--Parking Lot.

Got bored of the races, then go to enjoy the dirtier ride. You have totally 3 parking lots. There are certain missions associated with them. Mind you it is not easy to complete the missions, though you can quit the race at any time and enjoy the dirtier "DIRT 3" to your heart's content. 

CLOSING COMMENTS

I would say Dirt 3 is a ultimate off road racing experience. It’s a superb racing experience and shouldn’t be missed. It is a place for those who are new to off-road racing and those pros who want some hardcore competition. While the agent isn’t the best leader through the tour, and the garage is limited in its operation, the solid gameplay, variety of tracks and events, and overall fun factor make this a terrific game. what are you waiting for? Get some wheels and drift your to real time off-road experience...


The reasons which led to its success:
1. Awesome graphic display
2. No other racing game was in the market during its release....
3. Very good game play


Some Drawbacks...:(
1. Get a good processor as it takes plenty of time to load the content
2. you need to have latest graphic card for real time experience....


My rating is 8.7....
