They're so charming and affable that even when you're on the track and deliberately T-boning them off the side of a cliff they'll use their final moments on this mortal coil to reassure you over the radio that there are no hard feelings. If you're easily irritated by Californian kids with more money than sense, you're going to find it all a bit wearing, but I'm actually fond of them - not least because they refer to me by name (just like in GRID), and their constant compliments satisfy my desperate need for validation as a good driver. Guiding you around the place are the disembodied voices of various endlessly chipper extreme sports stars. You can practically smell the sizzling hot dogs covered with that cheese that inexplicably remains liquid at room temperature.

DiRT2 is the logical conclusion - the fantasy world tour that off-road racing should be, with a festival atmosphere, far more exotic locations and very little regard for safety.įrom the moment you launch the game, you're plunged into a grubby RV that's parked up in a bustling paddock area with fans hanging over the barriers with muffled indie music coming from the tannoy. There was still the token inclusion of Welsh forests with unpronounceable names, but thundering V8 trucks had rolled on to the scene and direct, door handle bashing competition was introduced. The original DiRT was already inching towards the door when it came to traditional rally. After years literally lost in the wilderness, rallying is sort-of fashionable again. Sadly Colin's gone to the great special stage in the sky, but there's a new breed of extreme sports nutcases carrying the torch, and it's their combined spirit that lives on in Colin McRae: DiRT2.

With DiRT 4, Codemasters have sought to combine the levels of thrill and realism from last year’s DiRT Rally with the fearless excitement, accessibility and adrenaline-fuelled races previously seen in its critically acclaimed prequels DiRT 2 and DiRT 3.įeaturing classic rally racing that continues to build on the foundations set by the Colin McRae Rally games, the bruising contests from the official FIA World Rallycross Championship, the crazy battles of racing trucks and buggies, and the outrageous fun of open events in Joyride, players will face challenges from locations that span three continents.If You're Of the opinion that great rally drivers are born rather than made, then it's not difficult to imagine that Colin McRae flew out of the womb sideways at 80mph, and flew out of the delivery room in a graceful arc.Īs a driver, he was a traditional flavour of bonkers behind the wheel -driving as fast as he possibly could, often crashing spectacularly and, if the hand of fate plonked him back on his wheels after his airborne barrel roll, carrying on again with his commitment undiminished.

Your Stage allows experienced rally players to create longer, more technical routes, whilst newcomers can create simpler shorter routes as they hone their skills. You choose your location and set the route parameters, then Your Stage does the hard work to create a unique rally stage that you can race, share with your friends and then challenge them to beat your time. They call it ‘being fearless’.ĭiRT 4 also features a game-changing system called Your Stage an innovative rally route creation tool that allows you to produce an almost-infinite number of unique stages at the press of a button. Seeing how much air you can get in a truck. Going for the gap that’s slightly too small. It’s about pushing flat out next to a sheer cliff drop.


And more than that, it’s about loving that feeling. It’s about the thrill, exhilaration and adrenaline that is absolutely vital to off-road racing. DiRT 4 is all about embracing that danger. Motorsport by its very nature is dangerous.
