DiRT Rally

DiRT Rally is a tour de force for rally games, and a return to form for Codemasters. It is brutal, unforgiving, and most of all extremely rewarding for those that enjoy true rally games. It is not for everyone, and its simulation aspects will turn off a ton of gamers, but those willing to stick with it will find one of the most finely-crafted racing games of the generation.

DiRT Rally is an outstanding return to form for both Codemasters and the DiRT series, bringing it back to the glory days of when it proudly wore Colin McRae’s name. As it stands right now, DiRT Rally is the rally game to look up to, a shining example of it done well.

There are a few trimmings, and a solid selection of modes, but the core of the game is the hard-hitting simulation. This is digital driving in the tread marks of Colin McRae and Richard Burns. And there should be no doubt, Dirt Rally is the absolute number one rally game currently available on PS4 and Xbox One.
