Flinging cars into the air after a big jump and drifting around a corner doesn’t feel realistic so much as it just feels easy to do. The driving mechanics behind it all aren’t designed to impress - only to work, and that’s just what they do. There’s tons of content to play through here - from a campaign starring Troy Baker and Nolan North to a Trackmania-like map-building mode called Playgrounds. The Dirt series then became focused on player accessibility and unabashed fun, and boy does it do it well. The Dirt franchise experienced a split five years ago with the release of Dirt Rally, a game that spun off its own series with a focus on realistic racing mechanics. It’s definitely not the game for sim-racing enthusiasts, but I suspect anyone who’s looking for a fun racing game to pick up with their new Xbox console will not be disappointed. Its casual tone, if not made clear by the bright, eye-popping visuals, is then stressed in the way cars handle and how short races can be.
Fans of Dirt Rally 2.0 might be disappointed then, but I really dug how this game feels.ĭirt 5 is an arcade racer that takes players off the beaten path and onto muddy tracks, mountainous paths and frozen roads. It’s loud and brash and spectacular at every turn, tossing sim-racing mechanics right out of the window in favour of more casual fun. The moment your car takes off, pulsing licensed music and purple neon lights light up the track while elated crowds cheer you on. Its snazzy, festive vibe feels like an infectious celebration of dirt racing. I was honestly surprised by how much I ended up enjoying Dirt 5.
