Colin McRae DIRT-CLONE
I’m proud to be able to say here is a quality PC game that will deliver an awsome gaming experince after a couple of weeks of mediocre offerings from other games. Colin McRea DiRT Is the latest game in the Colin McRea rally series, this time however it doesn’t just add better graphics etc to an old formula it redefines the series to include all sorts of off-road motorsports that add a whole lot more enjoyment to the game. Before DiRT the Colin McRae Rally series aimed at rally enthusiasts and didn’t offer a whole lot to someone wanting some fun outside of the games target market. Almost Everyone in Europe knows the Colin McRae series and i’m fairly certain that the game have been renamed over in the states because Colin is’nt as well known over there. The last Colin McRae rally game was 05, they missed 06 and now you can see why they did, to put more delvelopment time into DiRT which was a wise decision because it has paid off. What the developers did was to ditch the old Colin McRae style then borrowed elements from games like Toca Race Driver and put in the off-road aka “DiRT” theme. There are tonne of different types of off-road cars and races of which a few can be seen in the screenshots below. DiRT offers you the ability to actually race other cars instead of the time trial type races featured in older Colin McRea games which should be a big plus for most of you as its a more accessible type of gameplay, don’t fret if you like time trial races as these have been kept for you rally lovers.
I have played the Xbox 360 demo and it was superb brilliant graphics, top notch physics and a really good original menu system. The best part though is the great new damage modeling system, making it a lot more fun to crash into other cars and watching ‘em fall apart! As I’m sure you can gather from the screenies to be able to play this on a PC your going to need a rather beefy cutting edge PC, many of you including me will have either upgrade or get the Xbox 360 version to enjoy this masterpiece. Even if you PC meets the minimum requirements stated below dont expect it to look as it does in the pictures, this is a next gen game so it requires next gen hardware to look its best. As with most newly released games this is a CLONE meaning that it needs emulating tools to get it to run. Hopefully this game will be cracked soon, fingers crossed.
Also here’s a little something i noticed, it looks like this game has borrowed a little trend from The Scene in the form of not capitalising the i in the name DiRT. Even though i’m sure there’s other reasons for this it made me smile. One thing that does concern me though it about this release is the size of the ISO which is 4.73 GB, that if i remember correctly this will not fit onto a standard DVD-R which is a little annoying. This is a great and much needed update to a fledgling series and even if you don’t usually play racing games you should defiantly check this one out, you wont regret it.
Already set to deliver an exhilarating thrill ride through a massive variety of off-road racing experiences, DiRT’s new C.O.R.R. events see up to 10 drivers going head-to-head in fierce off-road circuit races. The combination powerful vehicles, including Super Buggies and Pro 4 Trucks, along with tracks packed full of tabletop jumps, drop-offs and moguls will make for an intoxicating mix of racing action and will test players’ driving skills to the limit.
In addition, gamers will be able to relive those intense and often breathtaking moments behind the wheel with stunning replays. DiRT’s replay system includes dynamic cameras that follow, capture and focus on the most exciting moments during each race, and for the first time in the series players are given full control over the replays action.
