+magzire I'd probably give it an 80, maybe 85 if I push it. (When I first played it I'd have given it a 70, but it has pushed higher) I will be doing a Total Reviews episode on it when it releases on Console, likewise I will do one for Assetto Corsa too! Glad you liked the review, I was disappointed with the game, sadly. Had high hopes for it though :/
I was hoping for an arcade game and tried it with a 360 controller (didn't even consider using my wheel), but it was still bland and boring, miles behind a Sega Rally Revo or WRC: Rally Evolved. The only excitement I got was in wondering when would the game decide to wreck me out of nowhere in the middle of a flat road, which happened twice in my short period with the game.
+sacrisesma Yeah, it's not brilliant. To be honest, DiRT Rally with a controller and assists on should be pretty good! At the moment, the rally market is really limited :/
+ADStudios Gaming Hello guys, great review by the way, even though it was quite negative. I work for WRC 5, you touch on many interesting points, R.E track camber and exhaust notes, which seem to be loved by some and hated by others. I've find it to be very subjective. We appreciate your feedback though. We're holding an esports tournament in partnership with ESL with many professional racing teams taking part. I implore you to give the game a second chance. The tournament runs in parallel to the real life WRC so wherever they race in real life they'll race in game. I have been playing rally games ever since Sega Rally and I have to say that WRC is one of the best I've played in years (and I know somebody who works for them would say that) but I genuinely believe so. Many people have jumped on the bandwagon of reviews without giving the game a chance, whereas dirt rally may look graphically better, it's surely all about gameplay. Many reviews talk about games being graphically impressive yet the gameplay is lacking, whereas a game such as WRC comes along which may not look the best but IMO plays amazingly once you get to grips with it's nuances. Apologies for the novel, but we're a team of racers doing this for the racing community. I just hope one person reads this and gives the game a chance. You can join in the discussion over at wrcthegame.com/forum as we're always looking for feedback or join our live stream on Sunday 3pm GMT @ Twitch.TV/ESL_WRCTHEGAME where we'll be announcing our tournament's grand prize :D Happy Racing :D
Nice review, what would you rate Dirt Rally out of a 100?
