Colin McRae Dirt (RIP Mate)

Post by Archon »

Have you guys played Colin MaRea Dirt? This is the most graphically intense racing game to date! Im into this game like crazy, and for u guys who havent played it.... GET IT...
So im going to list some good points and bad points of this game
GOOD:
Over 70 Vehicles and Liveries(Team car colours)
Excellent Graphics! The best ive seen
Compatible with forcefeedback wheels
HEAPS of tracks including 4 or so Australian 1's FTW!!
Cool tuning abilities
BAD:
Requires Pixel Shader 3.0 on your grahpics card.. X1600pro equivilent (IF YOU DO NOT HAVE 3.0, YOU CANNOT PLAY THE GAME)
Requires at least 2gig of DDR400 Ram, The faster the better.
I havent figured how to change camera view with a simple button press. you need to change them through the settings menu.

I had to upgrade my system to play this game it is now
P4 3.0ghz running @ 3.5ghz and 933 FSB
Asus P4P800E-Delux
2gig DDR400 RAM @ 466mhz
HIS ATi x1950pro 512mg running @ 590mhz core and 1500mhz memory.
250gig Seagate HDD
Codegen 650watt Powersupply (Crome to pimp my rig)

All im all id give this Game a 9.2/10. Simply because of the MAJOR requirements needed to play this game.. and the cant change camera without pressing 'Esc'

BTW for you guys who havent heard Colin McRae and his 5 year old son Johnny McRae died in a helicopter crash, for the details, click here : http://www.colinmcrae.com/

RIP Mate, and my sympathies for the families.
