How's Dirt 3?

[ManBearPig]

I got a voucher for it with my GPU and pretty much have no interest in it but will give it a shot if you guys think it's fun. Should i play it or sell it?

 

[upsdriver]

yes

I have two of these vouchers and I'm in the same boat, but its pretty hard to sell these, I guess you need to scan it too to send to the person you sell it to cause the company wants proof or something... not sure.

This is a PM I got from someone that was interested in one copy:

"Will you send me a scan of the card as well? AMD asks for it for proof."

It's good. Doesn't have the same focus on rally racing that Dirt 1 did, but it does have plenty of content, and is certainly good for the $0 price tag.

As someone who purchased it off the shelf (well, from Amazon) I can say if you've never played anything in the Dirt series, it's totally worth it.

IMO, it's a sideways step from Dirt 2 (which is excellent in its own right).
The Gymkana(sp) events are a bit frustrating ( but can be passed over as necessary.)

Some gorgeous graphics and easy to control physics make it stand out.

They ask for proof of a code you type into a website? Lame.

Dunno that's just what the guy told me..

I think a ton of dirt 3 keys were leaked and sold on ebay so maybe that's why.

Excellent with a G27 otherwise dump it.
It does have good GFX and is a good PC game/port though.
I tried it with a KB and it was terrible.

I tried it with a KB and it was terrible.

I played it just fine with a KB (halfway through the campaign.) It handles very similarly to Dirt 2.

I came in here to say this.

Dirt3 is the worst of the series. The Gymkhana parts are just retarded. I stopped playing when i hit the first mandatory Gymkhana event and could not place high enough to continue. To be honest, i did not try that hard...i hate those Gymkhana challenges.

I played a bit of DiRT2, but honestly never had any desire to finish or get through much of it. Did some MP with friends a bit, since a few of us had gotten it for free with video cards.

What i loved was GRID...I want a GRID2.

I assume those of you who play(ed) DiRT3 liked DiRT2?

Yeah. If you didn't like Dirt 2 I don't think you'd enjoy Dirt 3.

I also played Grid. That game was really fun (with stunning graphics for its time.)

You call that handling, get a wheel mate, you'll be glad you did.

Thanks all, looks like its not my cup of tea so I'll get rid of it. Seems like it'd play weird on a keyboard and I'm not really into racing games.
