Video Game Reviews of Dirt
Customer Review: Better-than-Average PC Racing Game
Summary: 3 Stars
I play this on a Vista machine with a Radeon 4870 1GB card and an Intel dual core 3.0GHz processor and 4GB RAM. I can run it well at full HD with the highest graphics settings, and it looks great, particularly in the Australian and Italian environments. I am impressed with the staying power of this game, considering that is a couple of years old. It is fun and a good balance between simulation driving and arcade-style racing.
That being said, I am disappointed that the game won't run on my PC unless I let it through the firewall. When I allow DiRT through, it appears to continuously update the in-game advertising through a hidden file that constantly grows. Eventually this file becomes either too large or is corrupted, and the game won't load. I've found a third-party application that cleans out the file and need to run it every couple of weeks. This is quite annoying.
In addition, there are framerate issues. The framerate is generally very good and smooth, but inconsistent at strange times that don't seem to be related to the number of objects on the screen or detail levels.
Description of Dirt
DiRT blends death-defying offroad action, precision control, and the tricked out intensity of street racing into one visually stunning motorsports masterpiece. Choose from a wealth of officially licensed cars and real-world locations, then go careening through gravel, dirt and mud, doing whatever it takes to bring the trophy home.Car Games
