Best in series and best in show Dirt 3 is the racer you want.

User Rating: 8.5 | DiRT 3 PC
Dirt 3 is an excellent addition to Codemasters series of racers. I personally believe it is the best game Codemasters released just before GRID which I loved, I am a huge fan for cars whether urban circuit or off road rally, Dirt 3 is able to create a healthy median and balance between the two.

Visually superb you will enjoy it most on PC with a high end card, and controller, or steering wheel, having a decent gpu means playing smooth and fluid at 60fps or higher. This racer presents excellent and also photographic scenery, and features areas ie Kenya or Smelter which does justice to real rally racing, the ability to take great locations and do them justice by also detailing every texture, shader, and shadow. The use of realistic lighting and ambient occlusions achieves the encapsulating effect, which in converse immerses the player wholly into the experience graphically. Sound is clear, crisp, sharp, and high def whether it be the roar of the engine, or the tyres burning rubber on the tarmac, or perhaps the audible grunge collectively with the rough and ragged dirt trail. Or even the smooching, skidding, and tense friction experienced on the snow tracks. Gameplay wise, the features within gymkhana are variable and offer a unique style of gamplay, especially the burnout which is truly a great feature i personally enjoy the wild almost uncontrollable badassery that is the don-nut. Personally i would recommend this game to anybody who has an interest in race games, for me its a must have 9.5/10.
