Changes and Improvements
DiRT 3 has undergone some significant changes from DiRT 2. Now
Don't get me wrong
We love DiRT 2
But the XGames attitude of traveling around in your camper and the overall "dudebro" feel was pretty messy and unnecessary. DiRT 3 cleans things up with simple menus more like the original DiRT or GRID that puts
Abstract: Xbox 360DiRT 3, the third in the Colin McRae DiRT series, is a prime example of the new generation of game design. The game is prim and polished, crammed with features, and seems to have reached a plateau of controls that we may not rise from until the...
Abstract: If Codemasters' off-road racing series were a car it would sport its fair share of scrapes and crumples. Enduring the tragic death of Colin McRae in 2007, the fall from favour of the World Rally Championship and a number of name changes, Colin McRae Ra...
Abstract: I love racing, all kinds of racing, so much in fact that I’ve done the various driving schools for stock car and open-wheel racecars and I even got to take a spin in an F1, or what I like to call the F-15 of racecars. The only type of racing I haven’t ...
To be honest I've had little time to actually play Dirt 3 as I prepared this performance review, but it looks to be every bit as good as its predecessor, just with more of everything. More tracks, more cars, a much improved menu system, and of course,...
Abstract: Thrilling gameplay, eye watering visuals, spectacular physics, and flamboyancy; these are just a few of the things that we have come to expect from the Dirt franchise, and the third instalment, Dirt 3, undoubtedly delivers in style. However, it is not ...
Abstract: Those big events are not gone completely though. The X Games returns for DiRT 3 as does the LA Coliseum along with some races at Monaco, a track more famous for F1 racing. At this point you might catch yourself sighing, but hold on, don’t let me..
Abstract: I love racing games, but my favorite kind are the ones that take you off the road and into the elements. Rally racing has always been my preference. Actually (cue harps and clouds), my money-no-object dream is to actually rally race across Africa. I'...
Abstract: It’s a kind of lunacy, really. A sickness, in a way. Those that have it are usually born with it, and it doesn’t take long for the symptoms to show. It can be seen in the stroller with the toddler that screams and cries if some other mom pushes her s...
Abstract: Rally fans are rejoicing, as the third installment in the DiRT series has finally been released. Those who felt that the series has strayed away from tenets of traditional rally racing might be a bit skeptical about the direction Codemasters has taken....

In the end, there is no question that DiRT 3 is the finest offroad racing game on Xbox 360. It had a great foundation to build on with two already great DiRT games on the market, but Codemasters listened to what fans did and didn't like as well as adde...
