Colin McRae: DIRT is the most diverse and exhilarating off-road racing experience ever with sensational gravel, mud and dirt events the world over. Events include the series' intense point-to-point races and takes players further off-road than ever before.

Race in challenging heavyweight 850bhp cars, drifting on the loose gravel and high-speed blind corners of Hill Climb events along perilous cliff edges. All 12.4 miles of the world famous Pikes Peak International is included, with over 150 precarious turns to negotiate through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

How about engaging in multiple car races with Dakar-style trucks and super-powered 4x4s on the toughest desert terrain in Rally Raid competitions? Then there are Rally Cross events, switching between dirt and road racing, where the competition is always tight, fast and collisions with your opponents are inevitable. Colin McRae: DIRT also offers a dedicated mode for European, International and Global rally championships featuring official 2WD, 4WD, Classic and RWD rally cars.

Colin McRae: DIRT delivers the wheel-screaming exhilaration of off-road racing with the next generation of the series' sublime car handling and physics system and a devastating new damage engine that ensures players experience every bump in the track, every loose rock, every inch of shifting dirt through the reactive environments.

With an incredible range of off-road vehicles, thrill-packed tracks, modes that make the most of online multiplayer, and more varied events than any other single-championship rally game, Colin McRae is a bigger, faster, wilder racing experience.

Features:

Wide variety of off-road and rallying disciplines including Rally, Hill Climb, Rally RAID, Rally Cross & the CORR desert series
Photorealistic tracks painstakingly recreated from real-world location photography and satellite data
Incredibly detailed models of 46 licensed vehicles bring the action to life
Online play that allows 100 players to compete against one another
Stay in control or watch as your car dramatically crashes into a barrier and barrel-rolls, crushing every panel and spewing debris across the track

Write a review of Colin McRae: DIRT and share your opinion with other shoppers.

Good fun review by Patrick on June 17th, 2008.

I really enjoyed playing Dirt.

A nice variety of vehicles was on offer, all built to be blasted on the dirt and mud or into trees, as was often the case in the rally stages. Rally was the most difficult style, full of narrow twisty tracks with huge trees growing right up next to the road. All the other styles are flat out, full on, high octane fun blasts. The Pikes peak section was a favorite. And the Buggies

The number of tracks was a bit limited with many reversed. That said there was some quite big loops and rallies so there was plenty of fresh road to travel.

The driving experience was excellent. I have a G25 wheel and homebuilt race station so when I drive in cockpit view it's like being in the car. Force feedback was good with enough feel and some nicely imaged front end landings.

This is a fairly simple and engaging racing game, fun to play.
