So I recently rented DiRT. The racing game. And let me tell you, in this case, judge the game by the name. The gameplay really does live up to it’s title.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of racing games. They’re OK but not as good as shooters or RPG’s. So I rented this since my teachers want me to write about different genres of games.
Now I had heard this was one of the best racing games out there. Whoever says that (in my humble opinion) is a lunatic. The driving itself is really annoying. You end up drifting a ton and the end result is you spending a quarter of your time backwards.
The tracks are boring. They have detail around the road… and then when you look out farther it becomes a barren wasteland of the same. Also, I see other roads coming off from the main track a lot and I say “Oh hey, look at that over there. That sure does look like a shortcut to me.” Well guess what. They’re not shortcuts. they’re just roads that take you off the course spawning you back a ways from where you were.
The cars are annoying to drive just because they handle so weird. I can’t really explain it but it seems that there is a tendency for you to drive or slide off the track without there being much reason to.
The AI are good, just as good and maybe better than your average racing game, but that dosen’t really do anything for the game, as it is just average.
Before I say that this game sucks, I need to put in a disclaimer.
DISCLAIMER: I am bad at racing games and that may give me a biased opinion toward them. Do not post any hateful comments because you disagree with me.
Now I can say that DiRT sucks. DiRT sucks. Don’t buy it, please. You could just go and get a dynasty warrior’s game instead… you’ll have more fun. And that’s saying something.
