I mentioned the vehicles at your disposal, but there are also five rally locations, and the course generating option creates almost unlimited variety. This is one of the best playlists I've heard in a video game in a long time. "Monster" by Jacob Banks came on during the first 10 minutes of gameplay and the great racing music just kept coming after that. On the positive side, the soundtrack is stellar.
Dirt 4 review driver#
I've complained about this in almost every racing game released–with the exception of Forza Horizon–but I believe there's more that can be done to connect the gamer to their driver and team.Īs it stands, the voice in Dirt 4 comes from the instructions from your crew chiefs and such, but it's mostly dry commands that are helpful–especially in rally events–but not all that entertaining. This is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, but Dirt 4 is too good of a game under the hood to leave out these smaller details. Grid always excelled in this area and games like Forza Horizon have upped the ante with exciting monoliths to grab our attention and inform us. I was a little surprised to see such a bland set of menus and overlays between races and during credit allocations. One of the few areas of Dirt 4 that I'll criticize is the visual presentation (overlays, menus, etc) and its lack of personality. The Sound is Slicker Than The Window Dressing That's a preference, but every style of racing in Dirt 4 is fun. I also like the multi-car races better than the rally events where you compete to record the best time. For some reason, they epitomize what I associate with this style of racing. The vehicles handle differently and each of them brings their own challenges and perks. There are a good number of sub-categories that spawn from there. The vehicle types are divided into four major categories: rally, land rush, rally cross and historic rally.

While the vehicles are all of the off-road variety, there's still a diverse group to choose from initially and more that you can purchase as you earn credits throughout your play.

When you first start the game, it will assess your skill and make a recommendation, but you ultimately pick which one is best for you. There's a sim or more arcade control scheme.
