Colin McRae demos live News
PC Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell
As promised during yesterday's promising, Colin McRae: DIRT demos are now available for Xbox 360 (768.9MB) and PC (875MB).
Each has three tracks to race around on in different modes. A Crossover race where you compete against McRae takes place on Germany's Avelsbachring, with Subaru Impreza WRX STI spec Cs wrapped around the pair of you, while nine other racers join in for a Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) event in V8 650hp buggies at Michigan's Bark River Off Road Raceway.
Then the demos branch off, with the 360 version taking you on a Windy Point Hill Climb event in Arizona, whereas the PC introduces multiplayer as up to 100 people can compete for the best time on the Sardinian Mounte de li Conchi point-to-point rally stage.
The full game's due out on Xbox 360 and PC on 15th June, with the PS3 version following "shortly after". Look out for our review nearer the time.

I tried the X360 demo, not too sure of the handling aspect and frustrated with the buggy section as kept getting messed about by other AI cars!
Was looking forward to this as thought it could perhaps match Motorstorm with regards to muds, physics but no not by a long shot. However what I most want is Rallisports by Dice as these are work of arts in my view. Hell, Dice could do Rallisport 3 on multi-platform as they are part of EA. However, it is unfinished build but with release not far away not convinced yet. |

Rallisport Challenge 2 on the xbox is the best rally game EVER. Anyone who disagrees with me is a tit.

"4fps. Have a look at a picture, wait a couple of seconds, look at a completely different picture"
Ummm, I think you might find that 4 different pictures pass in the space of once second, but then I'm no scientist. ;) |

it's alright. Nice looking, but too much blooming for my liking. Handling is challenging, but not to my liking either. 6/10

I had to laugh when Codemasters said there was no head to head online because it sucks, and waiting for the host to start a game ruined it.
When people told them it was a lame excuse they owned up that they're a small developer with not enough resources or time to put online play into the game. Wait for Rallisport challenge 2 to become backwards compatible on 360, great online and the best dam rally game ever made. |

Codemasters? A small developer?
There's 300+ people in their Southam base... |

I can't download this either. It gets to about 9% and then says cannot be downloaded'. No reason is given either. I've checked the space on my HDD and I've got over 3gb.

I've loved CMR2.0 and 3 wasn't that bad either (although I didn't agree with making fun cheats require people to pay), haven't played the last ones but seeing this contains StarForce I don't even consider getting it on PC, and my Xbox 360 is out of order unless Microsoft fixes the green tint issue with US console + RGB cable + dashboard spring update so no X360 version for me either :(

"Pressure? Pressure is for tyres not drivers" - if I hear this another time I will headbutt my telly.
Well it looks smashing, that's for sure but the handlings a bit easy going for a rally game I'm finding. Too easy to be honest, I don't feel like I'm going sideways enough and you hardly need the footbrake. Anyone agree? And what's with all these people not being able to download it? Took me about 20mins. |

Dreaming of 81% - sat stuck at 6%. Went to 7% turn around looked again an back down to 6% the cheek of it! lol
Been really looking forward to this - trust it to be the only thing to ever have problems with downlaoding. |

I just got the July issue of The Official Xbox Magazine, and this game is reviewed. It gets a score of 9 out of 10!!!!!
I am going to be driving around in the dirt playing this game. That is for sure!!! |

Is everyone aware only rookie and amateur settings are available??
It could explain why it's a little easy on the handling and why it feels arcadey |

SHame about starforce and the fps cap the game is meant to be using, although many are reporting that even having the game running at just 20 fps is good enough to actually enjoy it.

Same here, game won't even load just as above poster. took 4 hours to download what a waste of time.
Managed to get the 360 demo, was underwhelmed by it. I too thought it might be like Motorstorm but its nothing near it. Cars feel heavy and sluggish and handle like crap. you can tell that they are trying to appeal to the Yanks with the lame Yank co driver and menu guy. McRae was good once (first two) but now it bears nothing to those games aside from the name. Very disappointed as I was looking for a decent rally simulation to play not some arcadey yank influenced crap. Will give this a miss or perhaps pick it up when it's cheap. least there's still Forza 2 to look forward to.

We left our xbox running overnight to download it - had a look this morning and although it looks really good, what the hell is with all the Americanisation??? Colin McRae was a Scot, not a Yank last I heard..... anyone else perplexed by this?
