IGN Ratings for DiRT (X360)
Rating Description
9.5 Presentation
Without question the best front-end menu I've ever seen. Deep stack tracking is a nice bonus. Long load times and a lack of replay saves is the only thing that keeps this from perfection.
9.0 Graphics
Despite a fluttering framerate, this is the best-looking racer on Xbox 360 to date. Superb damage modeling and lush environments make every stage gorgeous.
8.0 Sound
What little music is in the game is catchy. Travis Pastrana does a nice job of narrating the career mode. Oh, and the cars sound wonderfully gnarly to boot.
8.0 Gameplay
It's incredibly fun, which is what matters most. Still, the cars lack weight, which makes a considerable impact on DiRT's overall feel.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
The single-player will eat up quite a few hours of your life and the harder difficulties are truly a challenge. It's too bad the multiplayer is poorly conceived and even more poorly executed.
8.4
Impressive OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
Steam has slashed 75% off of several Codemasters' racing titles including GRID, FUEL, DiRT, DiRT 2 and ToCA Race Driver 3 along with a bundle containing all five titles as part of its weekend deal promotion.
The first DiRT title was released just before McRae's horribly premature passing, and saw Codemasters essentially rip everything up and start again, giving the franchise a face-lift fit for the next-generation. It highlighted the tone of a series moving increasingly further from the realistic, 'pure' brand of rallying in the earlier games to a more arcade-orientated, thrill-seeking approach. Whether seduced by the bright-lights of, for example, Project Gotham Racing, or whether Codemasters were just seeking change for the sake of change lest creative stagnation take hold, DiRT 2 (yes the strange lower case 'I' is intentional) represents the consolidation of this new approach.
Colin McRae: Dirt 2 (Dirt 2 outside of Europe) is a racing game scheduled to be released in September 2009, and is the sequel to Colin McRae: Dirt. This is the first game in the McRae series after Colin's death. It was announced on 19 November 2008 and will feature the late Colin McRae as well as Ken Block and Travis Pastrana.

DiRT Review
The latest Colin McRae game is the prettiest racer on Xbox 360, but does that also make it the best?
by Hilary Goldstein
June 8, 2007 - The first time you slip DiRT into your Xbox 360, you may just crap your pants. The environments are lush, the lighting superb and the damage modeling incredible. DiRT is gorgeous. And the spectacular visuals are matched by the most impressive user interface to ever bless a console. Once the rush of the inspired visuals and eye-popping menus passes, you'll find a very solid rally racer. Though it's not the best of the Colin McRae series, DiRT is perhaps the most accessible. It's not perfect, but it's damned pretty -- and a whole lot of fun.

Gamespot: Rainbow Six Vegas Single-Player Hands-On
FP 14 hours ago | Pub 16h ago | PlayStation 3 | Preview | Da Rite Feacherz
Ubisoft's excellent tactical shooter is heading to the PS3 later this month, and Gamespot got a first look at the single-player campaign. In their review.
I think we have a winner, people said the same thing about Rallisport Challenge 2 MP and that lasted a long time. In a lot of ways it seems we have a RC3 on our hands here and in that case i will for sure be picking this up.
Will be an awesome game none the less but it seems it will get in the 7-8 range. Motorstorm I think scored 90, 89, 90 at ign.
a motorstorm comparison, didn't see that coming!
The menus for DiRT are pretty awesome.
