And rubbin, son, is racin'.”Īs it is, the multiplayer is an aside at best, something for you to pop onto occasionally to see how good you are compared with everyone else. If the lack of true player to player racing is over concerns of players cheating and ramming into each other, why not turn off inter-car collisions like TrackMania does? But then again, as Robert Duvall says in Days of Thunder “He didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you. Why can’t we race in the CORR against seven other players? For ages now we’ve been able to customize and configure our cars and then take them online, the Need for Speed series has been doing it for ages, and there’s nothing quite so fun as racing other people… This is a big missed opportunity and one that I can quite figure out. So you might as well be racing in the single player mode as there’s little sense of achievement. So all 100 of you set off simultaneously and then drive the course, getting a checkpoint time to tell you how well you’re doing. There’s little to differentiate between racing online and racing in single player other than the fact that you now get a ranking according to how well you’re doing compared to everyone else. The big problem here is that you’re limited to the Rally or Hill Climb events. So an online rally means you’re not going to see anyone else. Ok, so competitive rally driving in the real world means that you’ll be blatting along a stage and rarely see another competing car unless it’s upside down in a field or, in the case of the notorious Kielder Forest stages, partially submerged in the lake. I’d even go so far as to say that with both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, the Codemasters have missed a big opportunity. To say the multiplayer is disappointing is pretty much about right. Yes, it’s the multiplayer, which so far has bugged pretty much every PS3 game, no matter the genre. Awesome! Some of the best bits from former Colin-flavoured glories are present and correct, none more important than the deliciously savage and competitive AI, devastating car damage and authentic engine and rubber on gravel sounds.Erm, where's the multiplayer? Oh, I'm playing it already?īut there is one area where Colin McRae DiRT on the PS3 does fall on its arse somewhat. The competition is fierce and action-packed with the tracks comprising the best from the UK and France Rally Raid is where world class rally vehicles race in long-haul off-road circuits in the USA CORR (Championship Off-Road Racing) is America's greatest short track off-road series, with Super Buggies, Class 1 Buggies and Pro 4 Trucks all causing the dirt to fly finally, there's Hill Climb, the most extreme of the disciplines, with you in control of an 850 bhp monster, racing to the top of the mountains. You race head-to-head around a two-lane circuit Rallycross is the European-based sport of racing on circuits combining on and off-road elements. Rally includes point-to-point challenges set in six countries: Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan, Australia and the UK Crossover is derived from the Super Special Stages found in Rally events.
