just reading up on some stuff while working, and goddamn this game looks good. finally some rally racing for the 360, and i think it's dropping sometime in june. anyone else looking to pick this up?

Never even heard of it... and I know I am behind the times, but what happened to the xo homepage??????

If it's anything like RalliSport Challenge 2, I'll pick it up. As I currently have 0 360 games, I might need to get on that.

Recent update on the game with videos, looks fucking awesome. definitely reminds me of rallisport challenge 2.

After playing the demo and playing the game at my friends house I even want to get this game and I'm really not fond of racing games. This game was especially fun and the graphics look much better than Forza 2. If you're still undecided I would recommend getting this game.

Just picked this game up last week, it's pretty sick. Having a ton of fun with it. It definitely brings back the memories of playing Rallisport Challenge 2. Haven't been online with it yet... 100 people in a race sounds good, but I don't like the fact that they're ghost racers.

Yea I just traded Forza 2 in for this, seems like I made the right call... this game seems way more face-paced then Forza, and therefore more fun.

Just played a few games online as well... didn't know what to think. I keep getting passed up right at the last few turns of the races.

So far, so good.:high5:

The customization is fairly decent in the game, but it would be killer if you could customize the cars a little more. buying livaries is fine, but there aren't enough and id like to add my own paintjob touchups to some of these cars. then again, most of the cars are heavily advertised.

also make sure that you mess around with the car/car wheel settings to get a better drive with your car. hit me up online if you want bro.

Sounds good man, I will be on tonight... going to see Transformers right now.:high5:

Optimus Prime= Instant Chubby.

I tried tweaking the bumps, toe angles, and suspension... it seemed to be working fine, but as soon as I touched the suspension, my Chevy was rolling more than Lindsay Lohan. I need to take a day or two and just tweak the shit out of it.

Also, some of these world record times are effin' ridiculous... there was one race that I did about 10 times in a row; I perfected every turn, slide, and jump, and I was still one full minute behind the fastest time... what the hell? Do they know something I don't?

Also, is there any way to host a lobby online and invite friends? I am so used to Tom Clancy games online, where you search, join a lobby, and invite friends... but it took me two hours to race in Forza 2.

just finally went through career mode and i'm going to go through it again on harder levels. i just can't enough of the hill climb tournaments, they're just so much fun and bring back the rallisport challenge 2 memories.

damn that was a good game.

still gotta play this bad boy online. can't believe i recently read they're already working on dirt 2... the current game screams for some downloadable content.

Not when they can spit out another game in less than a year and take another 60 bones from you...

Been playing online, and actually been winning some races... its pretty fun man. I don't know how to invite in DiRT, but if I figure it out I'll send one your way.

Also, I found a trick when dealing with money, and it helps you gain track experience in career mode... to maximize money, start every race at the lowest difficulty, then go up one level (total of five wins for one race)... it yields the most money.

If you immediately start at Pro and win first place, it cuts the replay amount you can win by over 50% for the Pro level and all levels beneath it. I have 8 millions dollars and I'm buying every available car and livery when they become unlocked... and I am only on the second tier!

[Stifler]

i'm seriously hoping that dirt2 doesn't come next year already. i wont be happy if they start making this a yearly thing.

about career mode, i didn't think about that. i beat it on the 3rd level of difficultly and i still have about 10 cars left to buy with zero cash. i never thought about it the way you did.

[jHawk]

You Canadians... lol.

[RockBandRulz]

the graphics on DIRT are some of the best ive seen in a racing game.
