"As a graphical showpiece, DiRT is an unbridled success. It also happens to be an entirely enjoyable rally racer."
--Alex Navarro, GameSpot
"Here is a game that had all the potential core elements to be a really great release. But Codemasters so wants big love from the USA resulting in design decisions that have altered this off-road racer from the core values of the franchise's history – and ultimately left a weaker game that's bound to be criticised on both sides of the pond."
--Harry Neary, Boomtown
"The game delivers a wide variety of terrain (dirt, rocks, desert dust, tarmac, and more -- all of which feel distinct, too) and an even wider variety of disciplines..."
--Gord Goble, 1UP
"Bottom line, DiRT needs to be played, and Codemasters deserves kudos for crafting an enjoyable rally game."
--Chris Buffa, GameDaily
"There's no denying that Codemasters remain very capable of producing a title with very slick presentation; DiRT quite frankly oozes it, especially in the main menu and the loading screens in between races..."
--Jon Wilcox, Total Video Games
"The cars and tracks all look phenomenal, especially when you consider how each environmental object becomes part of the gameplay thanks to realistic surface physics and damage modeling."
--Gerald Villoria, GameSpy
"It's wonderfully well presented and designed throughout, from the slick menus to the jaw-dropping spectacle of the visuals."
--Harmz Singh, AceGamez
"For fans of rallying, who have been spoiled for choice in previous years, this is the first really good rally simulation on a next-gen system and as such is pretty much a must-have."
--Colin J. Barnwell, Jolt Online Gaming UK
"Despite the mediocre online play and amount of time spent looking at the loading screens (despite being as sexy as hell) DiRT is so far the best arcade racing game on the 360 and in my opinion is worthy of a purchase..."
--Sam Morris, MS Xbox World
"This is definitely one of the best approximations of rally driving that I’ve ever played with, and it’s made only better by a great use of the Wireless Racing Wheel."
--Sam Sollars, Game Almighty
"Voice work by Pastrana and the other drivers is top-tier, and has been intelligently programmed to feed off of the user’s specific actions."
--Dale Nardozzi, Team Xbox
"As you fly down some of the roads and hit jumps at a nice brisk pace you land and the sound of your suspension bottoming out and the frame just tearing along the road is bone jarring because you wonder if something broke."
--Chris Groves, Xbox Addict
"The core racing is thrilling yet accessible and the amount of content on offer will keep players enthralled for some time."
--Tom Orry, Pro-G
