Dunno, but he sure knows how to do some nice drifting.

Thats his achievements so far.

Not as great as Collin Mcrae or Richard Burns.

It needs more classics like Group B, rather than those new cars.

Yea, Stratos was in DiRT 1.

I miss that car.

I want this.

Thats what i want to see too.

Nice interview with heaps of stuff.

- Gymkhana as a new mode. More like motorsports porn.
- Lancia Stratos, Suzuki Sx4 Hill Climb Special, and Audi Quattro are back. ( f*** YEAH, Stratos is in the game)

Dirt's cars cannot be customised, unfortunately.

Shift 2 is awesome if you have a wheel or gamepad. Great sense of speed. Fantastic cars and tracks.

Dirt 3 is out!

Gonna play it tonight.

Yeap. I have a free copy of dirt 2 now. Not sure who to give to.

I have played the game for like an hour or so, and here is my initial impression. I mainly bought Dirt 3 because of dissatisfaction with EA's Shift 2 for not bringing the DLC to PC. I want those classic cars.

The game looks awesome. It's probably the most beautiful Codemaster Racing game ever. The water droplets on the car, that vibrate on the surface as you drive. The beautiful Kenya landscape that is in the game, where it is one of the most beautiful environment i ever seen in a game. The damage have also improved a lot, with more realistic dents and parts coming off when you crash.

The driving physics, well, Dirt 3's cars still feel pretty unique from each other, but not as good as how Shift 2 did. There are still a lot of distinctive difference between cars, like a Group B rally car would handle a bit different from today's rally cars. Sound wise is also very very good. The car classes are varied, but the amount of cars in each class is a bit lacking which is only like 2 to 5 cars per class, which is a bit disappointing. Overall, i guess the game does have pretty decent amount of cars. Also, Rally have taken a huge chunk of the car list, which is like 30. If you are looking for Rally Cross or Dirt 1's lol worthy dump truck, you'll be disappointed. However, if you wanted more Rally content, you would love DiRT 3 a lot.

What i dont really like is, the game feels like it is lacking of some content, or something is just missing from the game. The amount of content in the game isnt as much as say, GRID or Dirt 2.

I would still recommend this game a lot, with my initial impression. It would be a great game to play along with Shift 2, as they both cover different racing disciples.

I cant say much yet, but as far as i know initially, the tracks are rather short. 2 to 3 miles only.

The whole game is pretty much filled with Rally.

Yeap. It's the same.

No, dirt 2 was never difficult to control even with a keyboard. Just need time to get used to it.

The cars in Codemaster games are much more susceptible to spinning out of control. Just break and control your acceleration would be fine.

I still think both Shift 2 and DiRT 3 graphics have it's uniqueness. Shift 2 have really good lighting, especially at night, while DiRT3 have really good damage and world graphics.

Dont think so, cause Codemaster never release a car list for their games.

Its a surprise.

No, it is not in the game. Thank god.

My first DiRT 3 video.

You are not alone, to be honest.

I dislike the gymkhana mode. It feels really unsuitable for a game like this. The rally is too short and the races generally are too short.

Shift 2 > DiRT 3

Gymkhana is really nice to watch, but trying to play in the game. It's not fun at all. Drift is even worse, take a hill climb Fiesta and go do some drift. You mad? It's like asking a MC12 GT1 to drift around Long Beach.

The environments are not as varied as DiRT 2, and the rally tracks are really short which is not as fun as DiRT 2.

The super stage rally 2v2 races are awesome, though. Those races are incredibly fun.

Im gonna skip all the gymkhana and the drift events.

Seems like the game dont have Pikes Peak too.

Thats true, but overall it sucks compared to DiRT 2.
