Title: Dirt
Post by: Porch Monkey on June 18, 2007, 17:05:14 PM
Colin MacCrae style. (and I know how to spell it, but after meeting the guy, figured he was a complete arse. Alistair was much more down to earth)

Im enjoying it tbh. Havent spent too long with it yet but am up to tier 2 on Pro level.

Anyone else?

Even after your almost excited reply on XBL...Im still undecided. I think Ill probably get it when I am bored with Forza (could be anytime now tbh) !

Same boat here, Forza is so deja vu from the first its ridiculous :roll:

haha, i dont play that much driving sims.... i have PGR3 and i enjoyed that but I just thought it was too much effort to become a good player on it

Dirt looks really good, saw the videos online before it came out but not played it yet...

what struck me was the realism, most driving sims you hit the wall and bounce off it... not on DiRT

On Pro level Ive managed to rip the wheels off my motor more times than Id like to mention. You slide a little too much out of a fast rally corner and clip the end of a barrier. BOOM, no rear wheel.

Plus, the Big Rig Hill Climbs are a laugh.

Not a huge driving fan for some reason, i prefer the NFS, with the cops and cities etc. But i do have to say that both Dirt and Forza look stunning, but it doesnt look like forza offers much thats "new".

Just ordered Test drive unlimited as it was only £18.

quite addicted to Crackdown atm, and saints row online as i have my free 1 month sub redeemed.

Im the total opposite to you there. Cant stand the whole NFS driving through cities etc.. its bores the arse of me in seconds. Loving Forza 2 though - its like a 360 version of Toca 2 from years back on the PC which I loved.

Played the Dirt demo - seemed pretty good but not sure itll have a lasting grip.

Dont tend to play driving games on live, tends to attract one type of person. Same as Saints row, and the inane jabbering get on my nerves.

Im finding DiRT to be very difficult, a little too much so now im using the wheel :( a bit frustrating having to drive back onto the track every few seconds and finding yourself in an uncontrollable tank slapper after every other corner. Still ill probably get the hang of it one day.
