DiRT 3 | Xbox 360

About the Game

DiRt 3 is a rally racing game. Just like expected, most time is spent in races which, at least in most scenarios, are set in offroad environments. The main difference to other racing events is, that players do not drive alone; they have a front-seat passenger who announces when to turn. A major part of the experience is overall 98 courses, but some of those are just variations of the same.

Modes & Ways to Play

But the career is still the heart of the game; here players tune their cars, participate in races and earn experience points, which are used to unlock new cars. There are six different race modes to solve during the career; e.g. regular races and "trailblazer" (no passenger available). Two of those are newly introduced: drift tournaments and Gymkhana, which are basically confined areas with a lot of stunt opportunities - the goal is to perform as many as possible in a limited time. Additionally every mode has special tricky bonus goals which reward more experience when fulfilled.

Player support includes Same/Split-Screen.
