DiRT3
 
Has anybody else had the chance to play this amazing game?

If not I highly recomend this game to:

Racing game fans
Rally Fans
Colin McRae game fans
DiRT fans
WRC 2010 Fans

Even those inexperienced with racing games can easily get into this game since there are lots of difficulty options to play about with.

I remember playing Colin McRae rally for the PS1 with my dad. It was fun.

I'm getting it this weekend, I'm trying to finish Forza 2 by then with most of the achievements...

I don't play Racing games apart from Mario Kart.

Ain't the game for me.

I've just got it today now. It's really good. I hate the guys at the start though, they talk too much. Also, the fact it checked for my content 4 times is annoying.
Strange thing was though, I bought it from game and considering it came out Tuesday, I got a bunch of pre-order exclusive stuff! Now I got the super teams and the DVD thing, and I found the VIP pass thing. I thought I hadn't got it until it told me it was behind the booklet.
I'm starting on Casual since I'm not very good at rally games and I fly off the track because I keep spinning. :p Pretty fun to play, I can't count how many times I've used that Flashback, it's useful.
The Gymkhana Academy is annoying, I keep missing the blocks you've got to hit. I'm still trying though.

The Gymkhana academy is annoying. I just wanted to jump right into a Gymkhana event. I remember when I bought Forza 3 and I had a load of pre order stuff even though I didn't pre order it. The superteams are nice, but because of them I reached the rank cap far too quickly on DiRT Tour. But I still picked my cars according to my liking of the car and paintjob. Example.

On the Kenya Historic Cup on pyramid 1 I drove the Opel Kadett GT/E 16V for Castrol which would give me 150 rep for finishing a bonus objective over the Abarth 131 for Brembo Racing who would give me 2,250 rep for finishing a bonus objective. Why?

Becuase not only is the Opel lighter than the Abarth, it also has more horsepower resulting in a much better car.

I just drove the slime racing Mini Cooper S, it's amazing. It's so easy with it.

JennyGenesis 05-28-2011 07:52 AM

But the Lancia Fulvia HF has better acceleration. I tend to use the mini on windy tracks.

What did you find bad about the buggys?
I just drove them and they're good. I don't see any problems with them.

JennyGenesis 05-28-2011 07:54 AM

Because I find them uninteresting and if you touch wheels with another your race is pretty much over.

I drove straight into a guy at the start by accident and I didn't spin out or anything. :p
