DiRT Demo Review
I'm not sure why I thought I should try the demo for DiRT. After trying the Forza 2 demo I was very quickly reminded of how badly I suck at racing games. I gave the DiRT demo a try anyway and found that I'm better at it than I am at Forza 2. I can at least make it around the track...on the easiest setting at least. I tried all three of the available cars and found that I stink with all of them. The game itself looks great, but I was a little disappointed with how little my car would get dammaged when I run it into a wall. Yes, there was some damage to both the car and the many obstacles I hit, but with all the times I hit stuff going full speed my car should have wrecked long before I got through the two laps. Maybe it was because I suck at racing games, but to me it felt like the cars were really light. I'd try to slide around a corner and end up spinning 270 degrees; even if I just tap the hand brake. Oh well, at least I don't have to try and make time for racing games in my busy schedule.Labels: review, video game, Xbox 360

I tried this out today and was pleasantly suprised. I've not really seen much of the game before but thought the graphics were nice. I wasn't too keen on the buggies but the rally cars were good. I think the damage the cars take is dependent on the difficulty level.

I suck at realistic racing games, as well. I'm all for the Burnout-style games, but the Forza-esque ones just aren't for me. I am actually downloading the Dirt demo at the moment, so we'll see how I fare with that one.

Been having trouble d/l the Dirt demo but if it's less realistic than Forza, I'm all for giving it a try.
