![]() Just an update on this guys, we had all seen the Bioshock 2 thing today and was really impressed with what they had done. According to a Codemasters Community Manager: The real reason the replay score is 0 though is because the ability to play this game in the future is uncertain, thanks to the fact it uses Games For Windows Live (GFWL) which is going to be shutdownĬodemasters have apparently been investigating the issue but have no further word about severing the game from GFWL. At a guess, you probably could finish the single player campaign in less than 10 hours. While I did not completely finish the DiRT 3 single-player mode I think I experienced enough of the game within the two and a half hours I played. This becomes especially apparent when racing inside the cockpit of some cars – you can even see the wind rippling across your jacket as you turn corners! The graphics are the best I've seen in a racing game – there is definitely a very high attention to detail. Thankfully, the voice acting by your navigator sounds authentic enough and the sound effects are spot on. I mean, if I wanted to do the Gymkhana stuff, I would've got a different game, like Burnout Paradise or a Need for Speed title. I would've much preferred if they just focused on the World Rally Championship entirely. While I did enjoy the rally stages I believe the game is somewhat diluted when compared to the Colin McRae Rally 2.0 experience. There is also a multiplayer mode too but I never had the opportunity to try it. While there are the traditional rally stages there are also dirt buggy stages, drifting contests and Gymkhana. Single player consists of either once-off races on particular tracks or competing in a series of races and challenges. Unlike Colin McRae Rally 2.0, the World Rally Championship seems to be absent from this iteration of the series. And yes, it's been almost a decade since I played a rally game on PC! ![]() So when I noticed that DiRT 3 was on sale on Steam (which is apparently part of the Colin McRae Rally series), and after hearing positive comments on the game from friends, I thought it was time to reintroduce myself to the series. While I haven't exactly been a devoted fan of rally games released by Codemasters, I do have really fond memories of Colin McRae Rally 2.0 and that game came out in 2000 – almost 13 years ago! The game had a realistic and fun single-player World Rally Championship mode and it was a blast to play on multiplayer.
