This is a game that on the outside looks like any other driving game. All I can say is that this game is a complete addiction. I'm having flashbacks of the early days of the Nintendo Entertainment System when my wife worked 2nd shift and I would play Super Mario Bros for hours on end. That was 15 or so years ago and hate to say it, but this game has the same potential to do the same thing that NES did to me...BAD but this game is NUTS!! I LOVE IT!!!

Don't hesitate...Just get this one and enjoy. DiRT is the BEST offroad racing game that I've played. EVER! PERIOD!

Quite simply: I love this game. My kids (10 and 13) can play it. The learning curve is brilliant if you start at the lowest skill level and progress as you start to find things easier.
GET THIS IF YOU LIKE DRIVING GAMES

My only niggles are: no rain and no two player on one console option. That said the online gaming works fine - just wanted to race my kids and finally show them who is boss!

I have not yet finished this game, but if you're interested in buying this game, I'm here to tell you you won't regret your purchase overall. I find the game easily manageable for all ages, 'cause simply you can ramp up/down the difficulty level at any point in the game, the difference is you win more money in the more challenging difficulty in order to buy more vehicles as you move up in your career mode. Nice touch! If you enjoyed Motorstorm, this game ranks up there in about the same level of excitement, although, I found Motorstorm a technically more advance IP in terms of graphics and better handdling of vehicles in their terrains. I won't go into detail with this review, but Dirt is a well-rounded game for the PS3 as this little franchise has been in pretty much all the consoles, including the Dreamcast. This latest version, includes fantastic graphics with hardly any slow-down, or frame-rate issues, tracks aplenty(3x more than Motorstorm), and decent controls for an enjoyable package. In a few days Sega Rally Revolution will be hitting the shelves very soon, and with Motorstorm released a few months back, PS3 is starting to beef up its racing portfolio. All great games for everybody. Enjoy.

Dirt for Playstation 3 is an action-packed game with great graphics and driving realism. It is quite addicting, and the variety of vehicles and tracks surpasses MotorStorm and pretty much any other offroad racer around right now.
Career Mode has a nice pyramid setup of levels, and the difficulty progression really does work well. It takes some skill to master all the different types of races with the wide array of vehicles, but it's not overly difficult and it sure beats having it be too easy. The framerate is relatively seamless, although I have noticed some glitches here and there during races. Not overly distracting, but it is noticeable and takes away from the smooth HD conversion.
The omission of localized multiplayer is also a downfall. Online play is fine, but sometimes you just want to race against someone in your own household. Add to that the fact that you have no control over the music on here (and their music is just awful). It would not have been hard to allow users to import customized soundtracks from the PS3, and it is sorely missed. To top that off, the load times are horrendous, and before each race you're forced to look at all your career stats on an annoying display feed for almost a minute before your race finally loads.
Overall, although Dirt is a fun game with great graphics, there are a good amount of flaws that cannot go unnoticed. Still a recommended buy, however, as there's enough content on here to keep you busy for a while.

This is a great game. I bought this as a gift for my husband, but after watching him play for a while, I started playing it too. The graphics are good and the loading screen shows all of your stats. The races are good too, but somewhat difficult. The stats range from your fastest lap, to your favorite car, to how many times you've flipped the car over. This is a really great game that I highly recommend to anyone that likes racing games.

I am into simulations both in games and professionally in physics; and while I can see some aspects of how they try to ensure the driving is not too difficult or frustrating it is still an extremely detailed and accurate simulation of a Rally driving experience. I am especially amazed by how much realism they put into the interaction between the vehicle and the surround obstacles in the environment like bushes, trees, guard rails, roadsigns, fences, rocks, logs, and any other debris on or around the track. That includes bits and pieces of other cars that sustain damage during the race. I mention the damage modeling here almost as an aside but the only word to describe the detail and depth of the accurate simulation here is Awesome. You have to see it to believe it - I would recommend this game to any driving sim enthusiast.

I play a LOT of simulation style racing games. This game is one of the top three for consoles: Gran Turismo, Forza 2, and Dirt.

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..)

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.

This game is awsome. It lacks more cars as it only has about 50 of them. It has a fair ammount of tracks and they are masterfully designed. It has a few city street tracks but are more town-like. The damage system is awsome, the statistics recording system is great as it tells you all your data (longest jump, longest time on two wheels, total kms played, total time raced, etc) and the fact that there are world records set for every track makes you want to practice to beat it xD. This game is a must-have for ps3 and 360 users. Too bad about Colin though :'(
