Best rally game for PS3

Great game if you love rally. Realistic graphics and handling, the lighting and background detail on the PS3 is a lot better than the 360. I think of motorstorm as more of a kid-fun boost until you blow-up kind of game, where as DiRT is a true rally enthusiast game with realistic damage.

The only problem i have with this game is no multiplayer. I want to play with the person sitting next to me, not online, but all the new games seem to be that way.

Most realistic driving game on the market.

Dirt brings those crazy European rally races into your entertainment room. The way that the game makers allow the cars behave on the real-as-life dirt tracks is remarkable. This is probably the first driving game that has actually made me pay for my driving errors. When ever nick a corner or fish tail into a barrier it effects the performance of my car and I'll end up having to dish out money after the race to fix it. Anyway it is flippin sweet!

Great, easy gameplay. Lots of fun

I haven't finished the game yet, but so far, the game has been very fun to play and exceeds my expectation. This is the reason I purchased me PS3 and I'm not regretting 1 penny of it.

This is the first ps3 game I've purchased. It's very easy to navigate. The driving is fun. I've downloaded the demo version of Juiced, and DiRT surpasses that game by far.

The thing I like most about this game is that I loved playing the rally portions of GT4, but felt it didn't have enough rally courses available. For those that like drifting and rallies in general, this is the game for you!

One of the Best Racing Game

I second all the good reviews on this game. I'm addicted to it and enjoying the challenge it is offering at every stage of the game. Complete justice to modern Hi-Def video games. Supports up to HD 1080p. High quality graphics. Dolby digital audio for the best sound experience.

It takes a little practice for the beginners to get the handle on drifting. Once you master it, it is lot of fun.

Don't have money to buy a real expensive race cars? Don't worry, this game will help you buy and drive the virtual ones :) There are plenty of awesome looking vehicles.

Total entertainment. Very satisfied.

You can almost smell the exhaust

Being a born again fan of racing games thanks largly to the ps3's sixaxis controler and it's steering wheel sensors, I went on a quest for the best racing game avalible for my shiny new ps3. I can honestly say that I didn't buy a bad game out there, then I saw Dirt and decided to try it. To my immediate disapointment there was NO motion sensor option for the controls. Feeling let down I pressed on ahead only to find I needed a spatula to get my jaw off the floor.

The graphics in this game are by far the closest you will get to the thrill of piloting a front wheel drive hatchback down a hair pin turned road in Gremany, Japan, or wherever else. Multi views, excellent replays, and scenery you need a harness to keep from watching while driving makes this game a real work of art.

The meat of the game comes from career mode. Here you go through a whole galaxy of events from time trials, match racing, off road derbys, and hill climbs to win money and points to unlock events. One very nice feature of this is that you can set the difficulty for each event. So if you do good on hill climbs but not on time trials, then you can up the difficulty and win more money which in turn buys more cars. There is also no shortage of tracks in this game which means pretty much every drive I've had so far has been a new experiance each time.

Over all, hands down, I would have to give this game my personal recomendation to anyone who's looking for a game with looks as well as substance. It's very very pretty.

Playseats Evolution + Logitech G25 + Dirt = Awesome

After stumbling across a YouTube video of someone racing in a Playseats chair with a Logitech G25 mounted on it, I had no choice but to order the same setup. I gave up on my previous idea of tracking down a Wii and decided to go the PS3 virtual racing route. Then it was time to pick out a game that would do the seat and wheel system some justice. I considered getting the old PS2 classic, Gran Turismo 4, but quickly chose Dirt after reading the reviews.

After setting up my racing chair and wheel, I fired up Dirt, expectations running high. The level of realism and control impressed me right away. I cranked up the Force Feedback in the game options (near maximum) and liked the extra "weight" in the wheel. The metal shifters built into the wheel on the Logitech G25 are great, but there is apparently no way to utilize the system's "standard" 6-speed gear shifters in Dirt. It's a shame, but not a deal breaker. It was easy to get the hang of using the clutch pedal as a brake and shifting with the steering wheel shifters.

Overall, Dirt is an amazing game with a ton of variety and plenty of incentive to keep you playing for a long time (i.e. Career Mode and online play). From riceburners to semi trucks, paved tracks to remote deserts... The game keeps you on your toes. One notable feature is that vehicles, trees, railings, etc. can be pushed, bent, and moved around. Highly recommended overall, especially with the seat and wheel setup (and a huge HDTV) -- if you can swing it!

4.5 stars would be appropriate, but I'll round up to 5 for the sheer fun factor when Dirt is played in the correct setting.

Realistic Game

I'm not one for video games, but this one is pretty fun. The graphics are done very well as does the realism of the driving, for using a game controller. As others have said, a steering wheel would help. It is hard to take turns properly with the PS3 controller since with the controller, you are either full throttle or not. I've tried playing online, but those who have steering wheels will always win. I still enjoy the game and it keeps my interest. They did a very good job at getting the tracks down to what they are in real life.

Awesome game!

Dirt was one of the best racing games I've ever played, its by far the best Rally game I've ever played... For all Gran Turismo lovers, this is one you might want to pick up. The graphics are incredible, the racing physics are excellent, and the car damage system is awesome. I highly recommend this game to any and all racing lovers. ENJOY!! (I sure did..)

This is the most fun I have had with Dirt since I was a little kid.
The game is fairly easy to get started, yet challenges me.
I wish I had a wheel setup.

Good game

The latest installment in the Colin McRea series, DIRT puts you behind the wheel of some great cars and allows competition with others over the internet. Nice graphics and decent control of the vehicles. Dirt
