For four seasons, Dirt 3 famously carried the participants through snowy Aspen, hot Kenny, gloomy Michigan and many places that you can get acquainted with by downloading the game via torrent. If the adventure does not drag on for many weeks, then good. But lightning races are confusing. One has only to accelerate to a good speed and start having fun, as the finish line is approaching. Of course, in freestyle races, the number of laps can be increased to ten and ride up to seven minutes. Still, looking at the tempting forests of Norway, stretching into the distance, I would like a longer journey.

Changing the graphics engine has greatly improved the picture. It does not matter at what time of the day or night the check-in took place – everything is very stylish and beautiful. Picturesque nature, small houses, lonely buildings and factories quite often come across on the way. On the slopes you will not be alone. The sun and searchlights interfere with the view, and somewhere in the distance there are dams.

The car park has grown significantly. You can choose cars for every taste, from the sixties to the present day: Ford Sierra, Mitsubishi Lancer, Peugeot 207, Subaru Impreza. But you can’t get them all at once. Points are awarded for a well-passed race, and the more points, the more opportunities to get a new car. Dirt 3 has six car control settings: brake balance, ride height, lighting, acceleration, differential balance download via torrent and try everything. There are few opportunities to deviate from the scenario, pulling the slider all the way, you will see how the behavior of the car changes.

If you don’t really like to delve into the details of the car, then you should not be upset, everything is already well adjusted there. For lovers of arcades, the creators have many surprises. The game includes three types of difficulty: intermediate, casual, advanced. In the easiest level, you can not wrap yourself with brakes and crashes, opponents will always fall behind. The virtual assistant tells you where to slow down and the right trajectory. On the other two, everything is much more complicated. The player will learn that you can fly off the track in an instant, and the gearbox can be irretrievably damaged. Well, at least the wheels do not fly out.

Perhaps almost all rally races are selected in the game: regular time trials, overtaking competitions, ring races, Land Rush. Drift lovers have something to enjoy. I would especially like to note the gymkhana mode, which is not found in other games. Its essence lies not in a frisky ride, but in the accurate passage of the track.
