The best mix of simulation and arcade
Dirt 3 greatly surpasses Dirt 2 in many ways, with addition of a bigger focus on rally (which the fans wanted and we got it!). The game looks beautiful, on my PC at high settings the game looks very good better then Dirt 2. The game plays very well in terms of racing, yes it kind of plays like a simulation but it has style and pacing of an arcade game. It blends these to concepts very well. Probably the biggest upgrade from Dirt 2 is the menu system no more traveling in your RV, and moving around from option to option it was way to clunky.
Everything is right there for you in a clean very polished menu system Codemasters thank you. One big selling point to this game is being able to participate in the Gymkhana events, these events are definitely one of the high points in the game. To be able to perform all of the cool tricks that can be done in real like are awesome, I know I will never be in a real like Gymkhana event but this is the next best thing.
Codemasters really outdid themselves with Dirt 3 its a fantastic game that has great replay value a must have for a racing fan.
