If you are like me, chances are you own a and have never used it to play a game. Frankly, until now, I have not found a single game for the PS3 that I found appealing enough to spend any money or time on. But then, along came an incredibly smooth and fascinating dirt racing game that has me glued in front of the console.
'DiRT' exemplifies everything I expect from a PS3 game. It is electrifying and fun. I am not a huge racing game fan, though I do play and enjoy them occasionally. When I threw in 'DiRT' for the first time I immediately knew that my PS2 'Ridge Racer' has finally run its course. The thing you will immediately notice is the game's incredibly detailed look and pace. The framerate is solid no matter how much detail the developers packed into this high definition picture. The levels and tracks are both challenging and fun while the damage system is the coolest around. Just watching the cars fall to pieces as you collide and ram into them is sheer bliss. The variety of backdrops and scenery – all of them gorgeously rendered with incredibly detail – will keep you engaged for a long time, as do the different vehicles and play modes. So, if you thought the PS3 can only play Blu-Ray Disc movies, and you enjoy racing games, give Codemasters' 'DiRT' a try sometime and spend some time on the dirt tracks instead.
