Seems Ign liked dirt a lot.

Sounds awesome. Next friday will be a tough day. Forza or CM

Thinking about cancelling my pre-order if the online is really that bad. I play a hell of a lot online and I just can't see the appeal of racing like that. Shame.

Yh its a shame, if they'd put more effort into the mp aspect of the game it would have been near a perfect arcade rally game, alas they couldn't be bothered, may just get it to play with the m8s.

Yeah thats a shame really, but I doubt i'd have time for online on both anyway. Its not really online at all just a leaderboard.

Edit should keep me going til Sega rally

Cancelled. Just bought GRAW2 and R6:V again so they should keep me occupied for a good while. Aswell as Forza of course.

When is dirt out?

SS-89 · 8 Jun 2007 at 19:47

Next friday i believe.

Getting rid of R6 even though I made profit on it is still my biggest regret. Decided to keep Graw now too.

Well ive preordered Flatout UC, forza is on the way both should keep me entertained for a while...

Edit: Cancelled my preorder of dirt after contemplating lack of mp and preordered Flatout UC multiplayer looks mighty good.

Forza for simulation and Flatout for pure carnage and fun with some mates.

Psymonkee · 8 Jun 2007 at 23:09

hated the demo

So I'm here to pimp Flatout Ultimate Carnage \0/

2 weeks to go

blueshift · 9 Jun 2007 at 09:48

ive got Forza,, but Dirt is on my list too,,, both differents varients on car porn,cant be bad

And Forza to my surprise has a Mitsubishi fto,,which is the car i drive,, so i know i can thrash the game one and not get nicked,lol

I'm still getting DiRT. Can't wait for it! I play PGR3 online. Too many online games = being rubbish at them all!

DiRT by a mile

blueshift · 9 Jun 2007 at 10:01

Yeah im rubbish too, but i still have a blast

dannyjo22 · 9 Jun 2007 at 10:57

Considering canceling Dirt now, dont see the point of having both when forza will take up so much time. Pick up dirt when its cheap and i'm bored of forza.

Big mistake really releasing them a week apart.

ScoobyDoo · 9 Jun 2007 at 13:07

Excellent review there, sounds like its going to live up to what i wanted.

Cant wait for next friday, ive got it pre-ordered.
Im a big rally fan. Currently playing forza and loving it but this will be a whole new challenge, its a completely different style of game. Shame about the poor online mode but its still going to be great fun.

Renatukasza · 9 Jun 2007 at 15:06

sounds good, i'm a bit bored of forza now

i've always enjoyed the colin mcrae series and it's a lot more fun and when you do get bored you can smash your car up and admire the damage model

Multiplayer Aspect review by ign, it sounds horrific...im glad i cancelled my preorder now. When Dirt comes out with a multiplayer mode ala Dirt 2, then i will get it otherwise its a no-go for me. As Ign said if they did release a mp addon it would probably be at a premium price and i just cant justify that considering a proper multiplayer mode should have been included in the retail game.
