This means any damage done to the car during one heat carries over to the next.

Rally races are not one and done affairs, they usually consist of a series of heats for an overall championship. So players expecting a cakewalk on any level will come away disappointed.ĭamage plays a role in races too. This game focuses on realism and simulation more than anything else.

Racing in DiRT Rally is mostly solo, meaning you are racing against the clock as opposed to other drivers this doesn’t make it any easier though. There is of course a career mode, championships, and plenty of custom races to keep players occupied. Car models are superb, and the damage modeling is some of the best I have seen in a racer.Īs for modes in the game, there are plenty. Running at a steady frame rate on both consoles, DiRT Rally is one beautiful game. It also helps that they are simply gorgeous. Tracks span the globe, featuring circuits from Monaco, Finland, Sweden, and many more. DiRT Rally brings the traditional locales with dirt, asphalt, snow, mud, and the like. Track variety is always a sticking point for these types of games. This is not a game for players that don’t have the patience to learn the ins and outs of rally racing. The granular levels of these things are part of what makes DiRT Rally great, while at the same time daunting for casual players. Players can opt to have various levels of co-driver feedback. The sheer amount of options in the game is, at times, overwhelming. There are three events in DiRT Rally: rally, hillclimb, and rallycross, each with their own unique set of rules and track types. Needless to say, this game won’t be for everyone. Failure is punished, and early on in races I was placing dead last. DiRT Rally throws all of that out the window for a straight-up simulation experience. Forgiving, simple, and focused more on the idea than the sport. Titles such as Sega Rally and the aforementioned Rally Cross straddle a more arcade line with racing games. The misconception of rally games is likely due to the popular ones not truly being rally experiences. DiRT Rally is exceptional on multiple levels, but also probably the most hardcore the series has been in a long time. The DiRT series has become known as the de facto in the genre for quite some time, so when Codemasters announced it was bringing back the series, I was excited to see where it could go on these new consoles.
There is something about them that interests me much more than standard street racing. Rally racing games have been one of my guilty pleasures since the dawn of Rally Cross on the original PlayStation.
