I read KIKIZO' S ARTICLE and downladed the demo.
What do you guys think of it?

I think it' s kinda fun and it looks great. But it' s not as smooth as Forza. I like thefact that you can have all the camera modes (including cockpit view). The grass and the environments look awesome and the drivers are actually the best looking drivers I' ve seen... I think.
Some areas look kinda lame though but the lighting is really cool.
I think rally games in general are really difficult because I can' t quite get the hang of the steering. This goes for Dirt as well.
Playing it with the wireless wheel was a pain. The wheel didn' t feel very responsive, all it did was shake like hell. I was afraid the game would actually break the wheel.
I doubt I' ll buy it because both PGR3 and Forza 2 are more fun IMO.
And if I want a rally game I' d rather wait for Sega Rally.

Not really hot for it. Slick presentation and the graphics were lovely, but the handling' s just all wrong. I know it' s meant to be arcadey, but theres arcade and theres just plain wrong.

Not got much hope for the new TOCA... Let' s see what the new Sega Rally is like.

It' s fun, but it' s a big disappointment to me that there' s no wheel-to-wheel online multiplayer -- just multiplayer time trials. Who cares about that? I want a rally game where my friends and I are relentlessly trying to nudge each other off the edges of cliffs. So, there' s no sale there from me.

Sega Rally looks like more fun from an online multiplayer perspective, but then there is apparently no damage modeling and the courses seem to be limited to circuits. So both options of these two have drawbacks. If only they' d make Rallisport 2 backwards-compatible!

I like it alot but im gonna hold out for the next ToCA.

I played the demo and I' m not impressed. I' ll just wait for PGR4.

Exactly what i felt .. Doesnt feel like a rally game ... The graphics are absolutley awesome though ..

The demo' s up? Lol, missed that by a mile.

It doesn' t feel lke a McRae game...

Buuuuuuuuuut, i definitely prefer it over the lame Forza 2...

No joke. I seriously didn' t like the Forza 2 demo. The game is technically excellent and the sound is fantastic, but i' m not a fan of sims and going into a spin as soon as you leave the track for a second is rediculous. I just didn' t find it fun, ...i expected much more and as far as i' m concerned if i want a sim on a console i' ll play Gran Turismo (and i don' t like anything but the offroad parts of GT4 ether)

Forza 2 is lame. PGR3 is still my prefered racing game, although DiRT is pretty damn fun too.

going into a spin as soon as you leave the track for a second is rediculous.

I like that. You can' t just put the pedal to the floor and drive like an idiot. Forza 2 requires precision.
Playing without any assists and with manual transmission and finishing first in Forza 2 is waaaaaay more rewarding than finishing first in PGR3. I like to really concentrate on what I' m doing.
I guess it' s not as fun without a wheel and I don' t know if you' ve played Forza 2 with a wheel... have you?
The thing I like with Forza 2 is that it smells burnt rubber, gasoline and motoroil.
While PGR3 and other games might be better RACING games to some, I really think that Forza 2 is the best CAR game.
I still like PGR3 and Dirt but Forza 2 just plays better IMO. And I don' t like to drift which happens a lot in PGR3.

Playing the Forza 2 demo has actually helped improve my driving in PGR3.

As for Dirt, I was glad they put all the wheel tuning options in the demo. But I' m beginning to come to the conclusion that playing with the wheel, while a lot more immersive and fun, is definitely more challenging than playing with the control pad. Although with the wheel you can have more precision in holding a line on a gradual curve, the pad has certain advantages too. Mainly that with a pad you can turn from the farthest extreme left to the farthest extreme right in the blink of an eye, and kind of unrealistically whip the wheel and feather through tricky situations that way -- something that you could never do so quickly with a wheel that rotates 270 degrees.

It' s ok, but nothing special, Forza 2 is on a par with Dirt. I admit to prefering TDU over both Dirt and Forza. The Buggies were quite fun but other than that, nothing great.

I doubt Dirt, PGR3 or TDU will get a Platinum award by Famitsu

It' s like gran turismo serie,its so-so.

I think most people here are saying, that there are better games out there than Dirt, I was hoping for something special, but it really looks like a Motorstorm knock off.
