The sprint car can only race around sprint oval circuits and the rallycross cars are quite restricted in the events they can do, but it still represents the most diverse car roster in a DiRT game.īut the more simplistic handling model, which is most comparable to DiRT 3 over any DiRT game that’s come since, means that the differences between how all the cars feel isn’t as profound as it is in the DiRT Rally games or even DiRT 4. While most of the events are races and it really won’t take long before you drive on the same tracks multiple times, you’re often changing between the car classes. Speaking of which, the vehicle variety is one of DiRT 5’s strongest aspects as there are some iconic rally cars from the 1980s and 1990s along with buggies, a Formula Off-Road and sprint car.
#DIRT 5 S RATING DRIVERS#
There are eight different event categories although six of them follow the same premise, that you start at the back of the grid and have to work your way to the front by overtaking as many other drivers as possible.Įach event category is really just a circuit type – for example, ice breaker events are all standard races on a frozen lake and stampede tracks usually have a gap you have to jump over and can only be raced on with the bigger vehicles.
They all have that common theme but the DiRT games have gone through an identity crisis with DiRT 3 being a thrills-over-realism rally game and it had a heavy focus on gymkhana.Īfter that came DiRT Showdown which was more of a destruction derby and banger racing game and then there was DiRT 4 which was a more accessible version of the DiRT Rally games.įor the fourth game in a row, there’s been a shift in direction as DiRT 5 is distinctly different from its predecessors.įor starters rallying is almost entirely removed as almost every event in the career mode is a lights to flag race against other cars, the only difference being some are circuit races and some are point-to-point.
#DIRT 5 S RATING SERIES#
In recent years the DiRT series has split into two halves, with the DiRT Rally (DiRT Rally and DiRT Rally 2.0) spin-off games being focused on realistically depicting rally and rallycross while the main DiRT series (DiRT 4 and now DiRT 5) has been a more casual experience. DiRT 5 is the latest in a long line of Codemasters’ produced rally games that can trace its lineage back to the Colin McRae Rally series.ĭespite that, DiRT 5 has very little in common with those games and isn’t even a rally game, it would be more accurate to describe it as an off-road racing game as conventional rallying isn’t really represented.
