A racing game from Codemasters, Dirt revives the Colin McRae series by widening rally to multiple off-road disciplines, from rallycross to truck racing, in a then impressive production and a stylish 3D menu presentation. The demanding yet rewarding driving model, the sense of speed and the variety of events make it a reference in off-road racing. The spread out content and a high difficulty call for investment.
