Dirt 4

Dirt 4

DiRT 4 is all about embracing fear. It’s about the thrill, exhilaration and adrenaline that is absolutely vital to off-road racing. It’s about loving the feeling of pushing flat out next to a sheer cliff drop, going for the gap that’s too small and seeing how much air you can get. Be Fearless. Motorsport by its very nature is dangerous. DiRT 4 is all about embracing that danger. It’s about the thrill, exhilaration and adrenaline that is absolutely vital to off-road racing. And more than that, it’s about loving that feeling. It’s about pushing flat out next to a sheer cliff drop. Going for the gap that’s slightly too small. Seeing how much air you can get in a truck. They call it ‘being fearless’.DiRT 4 also features a game-changing system called Your Stage; an innovative rally route creation tool that allows you to produce an almost-infinite number of unique stages at the press of a button. You choose your location and set the route parameters, then Your Stage does the hard work to create a unique rally stage that you can race, share with your friends and then challenge them to beat your time. Your Stage allows experienced rally players to create longer, more technical routes, whilst newcomers can create simpler shorter routes as they hone their skills.

With DiRT 4, Codemasters have sought to combine the levels of thrill and realism from last year’s DiRT Rally with the fearless excitement, accessibility and adrenaline-fuelled races previously seen in its critically acclaimed prequels DiRT 2 and DiRT 3. Featuring classic rally racing that continues to build on the foundations set by the Colin McRae Rally games, the bruising contests from the official FIA World Rallycross Championship, the crazy battles of racing trucks and buggies, and the outrageous fun of open events in Joyride, players will face challenges from locations that span three continents.

Dirt 4 Review

To put it simply, there is no better off-road racing sim than the DiRT franchise, and DiRT 4 delivers on all fronts. Codemasters did it again and DiRT just keeps getting better and better. The visuals, sounds, and physics are all outstanding, as we’ve come to expect from Codemasters. The world-class car selection is top-notch, as are the locations and game modes. I won’t even mention the excellent replays that follow each race!

There’s most certainly lots of enjoyable content from the get-go with near infinite replayability. Plus, the cars themselves are the star of the show. The car models are exceptional. Sound design is unmatched. I’ve played a lot of racing games and in my opinion, Codemasters’ racing titles win hands-down in the sound department. You can hear every sound from your car (turbo whine, exhaust pops, gear shifts, etc.) and from the environment (birds, terrain, water, crowds, etc.) with utmost clarity. Handling physics are second to none and the feel is just so right. Every car has its own character on the track, so much so that one may never be able to truly master their intricacies and push them to their limits.

To top it all off, it’s actually fun! You can choose between Game or Simulation mode, which makes DiRT 4 more accessible than ever before. Feel like sitting back and enjoying a casual game? Choose Game Mode. Feeling more competitive and serious about a challenge? Choose Simulation Mode. The beauty of it is that you can actually change modes on the fly! It does not matter which mode you pick though as each race feels like a victory by itself and it’s so satisfying to take a podium win, acquire new licenses, and build and manage your own racing team. Needless to say, Codemasters have mastered the sim racing formula and created yet another masterpiece. DiRT 4.

Summary
Dirt 4 maintains the robust depth of Dirt Rally's full-blooded simulation, while smartly opening things up to a wider audience with a heaping of difficulty options. If Dirt Rally's punishing difficulty alienated longtime series fans in any way, this commitment to accessibility should help to bring them back, and the near-infinite possibilities of Your Stage should keep them playing. Dirt 4 is a shining example of Codemasters at their brilliant best.
