Happy Labour Day & Review of Colin McRae: DiRT


Happy Labour Day EvEry0ne =)

Labour Day is a Day where the human population celebrates the hard work behind hard working and we celebrate but not doing the hard work.

How Ironic

Anyways,

I decided to do a Review of Colin McRae: DiRT.. according to some of my friends that ushered ( FORCED ) me to do this review

This one's for Evelynn^^ ( PS: I know its ugly but I have the yellow Production World Rally Car colours... Go google image Suzuki Swift World Rally Car, the yellow one, then you'll understand )



Continuing this Review...

DiRT is the sixth game in the already legendary Colin McRae Rally Series. I had CM's Rally 2003, 04 , 05 and 06. I was waiting for a long time for this game and let me tell you... It was a well spent wait... 2 years waiting for it to come to my house & starting it up for the 1st time.. Hearing the growl of the turbo-charged 2.0 litre engine of the Subaru Impreza for the 1st time through my Hi-Fi stereo, sent chills up my snipe in utter amazement of the sound quality.

DiRT is incredibly beautiful... Even though DiRT was here for around 2 years now.. It still is the benchmark of all racing games should be in the future. From the detail of the rocks as you fly them by at 140 kph is quite err... flying =) As the environment is this detailed, the cars too aren't left behind from the beauty department. I had never seen a better looking racing game than DiRT before. Since its all pretty & shiny, there's must be something much more fun & devious x) Look at the Damage you can inflict on the cars.... From the small rock hitting the windscreen to the dent in the bumper, you can see it all clearly.. Some of the crashes were so good.. I felt bad for the driver & the co-driver in my car x) Yes Even the small little Swift up there can be crushed into bits.. Literally bits.. I remember one time, I crashed head-on with a tree ( d'oh ) I saw the wipers detaching itself from the windscreen..

But all this quality gaming comes at a price though...

They are so good until even my PC can't handle it sometimes =\

Its awesome... Truly & utterly awesome
