Was this on 360? I still can't get online with the PS3 as I need to redeem the VIP Pass and the stupid PS Store is down

[Steve UK]

yes 360, sorry.

Its good but not the big leap I imagined, they never are though are they

[Chunkychucky]

No, although the rear wheel drive classics handle alot more realistically than they did in DiRT 2. Overall i'm impressed, I can see myself playing it until i've got every achievement as I did with DiRT 2

This will be a good thread when everybody gets their copy, mine didn't turn up from GAME today .

It'll be even better when Sony sort PSN out properly, some of the online game modes seem genuinely fun, can't wait!

They do look fun, especially with a group of PH'ers.

Is this game any good? It's been getting decent reviews but I always prefer to hear real players.

[Chunkychucky]

It's a better version of DiRT 2 imo, good rally action coupled with entertaining gymkhana stuff and the previously-used rallcross, trailblazer et al. Handling is an improvement upon DiRT 2 and it looks as though it'll provide you with some decent playing time too, plus some decent multiplayer modes, I think it's a very good all round game.

The game is worth the asking price alone for the Sierra RS Cosworth. Absolutely awesome! The Metro 6R4 is a nice addition too. It looks like the 90's, 80's and Group B classes are going to be the best. Ari Vatanen's hillclimb 405 looks amazing too.

Sadly, the game's soundtrack is a load of crap and it's definitely trying to pander to the emo/skateboarder type kids. Luckily, there appears to be some decent rally fun to be had beneath the marketing guff.

[Guvernator]

Sounds good, especially the vintage rally cars. Might have to pick this up.

Thanks

I played it a little last night, I think the game is bigger than it first appears. Like everyone here I prefer the rally and rallycross. It is quite difficult and not too arcadey so you have a few good crashes and the physics are good if you have contact in a game, nudging into someone wrong can send yourself into a spin.

Looking forward to some more youtube moments.

Just had a bash at a trailblazer event in the snow, used the Audi Quattro Pikes Peak S1, was a right monster and sounded absolutely awesome! It's definitely harder than in DiRT 2. In the previous game you could constantly 'cut' corners, where as in DiRT 3 it punishes you alot more for trying to cut where you shouldn't!

Started it today, just as good as Dirt 2 with new/better cars & more proper rally stages. Can`t get online though atm cos the 360 is not connecting with the computer for some reason so no VIP Sierra for me yet..

30 secs on the youtube uploads I seem to recall, should be no bother to use the YT video editor to whack some uploads together into longer compilations.

Can anyone confirm no online replay`s..don`t think you can see/save a replay online..

Looks tonnes better than Dirt2 (on the pc anyhow)

A quick word of warning to anyone digitally downloading on PC.

File size is 7576 Mb (!).

When I started downloading, I thought it was saying approximately 8 minutes to download. It was 8 hours

So don't nip off to make a brew and expect it to be ready to go when you get back.

Mine was 11.8GB on Steam! About the norm for todays games though, I think Test Drive 2 was around 14/15GB!

As mentioned, looks fantastic on the PC - despite having some minor issues (red sun glitch) which were resolved by updating drivers. Yet to try online, but should be promising if single player is anything to go by.

I bought this earlier for the PS3, it's brilliant The graphics aren't the best, but the gameplay and variety of cars make up for it. Can't use the YouTube function until the Playstation Store is back up though

[Baryonyx]

I have to say I'm really enjoying this. The Gymkhana stuff is a load of crap but the core rallying is quite good.

Here is a video I made of me racing a Sierra RS Cosworth over some nice tarmac on a Michigan stage. What a wonderful looking car.

Is there a limit to how long the clips are?
