DiRT 4 will appeal to almost any type of racer. The sheer amount of options guarantees long term play, and though more locales will be nice, the variety of vehicles, modes, and conditions more than makes up for it.

DiRT 4 is Codemasters latest and greatest rally and off-road racing simulator, bringing together the content from 2015's superlative DiRT Rally spinoff with this years more mainstream DiRT entry. The question is, will the more serious presentation and gameplay style that made Rally so popular translate into the flashier world of DiRT? Let's find out.

DiRT 4 is a game of two halves, literally. Each half is excellent, but I still feel something is missing.

In December 2015, Codemasters released DIRT Rally. There's little argument against saying it's the best rally game ever released. It had a laser focus and knew exactly what it wanted to be. Moving away from the DIRT franchise's more accessible nature, DIRT Rally had a steep learning curve, it was terribly difficult and uncompromising to anybody and everybody alike. DIRT 4 has both eased this off slightly and also gone too far, gutting the game of any challenge.

With better care given to the other modes and maybe some concrete rally tracks, this could have been the definitive rally racing game. As it stands, though, DiRT 4 is a hardcore simulation with limited appeal beyond a specific audience. Those fans will absolutely love this game, but any newcomers should try to cut their teeth somewhere else.

Dirt 4 is a great rally game. The accessibility it presents to newcomers, quickly transcending into more advanced driving techniques is one of its strongest features, but the thrill of the race on these unpredictable, minimap-less tracks never failed to get my heart pumping. There are some odd quirks with physics – cars have a tendency to pirouette like a ballerina from hitting a ridge the wrong way – and a too limited track creator, but these are nitpicks before all that Dirt 4 does so r...

DiRT has always been a more serious racer than most, focusing on rally driving, particularly prominent in 2015’s DiRT Rally. It was incredibly difficult almost to a fault, with precision driving required and relatively unforgiving with its strict time trials. Not that there’s anything wrong with any of that, but it alienated an audience that is much used to a more arcade style that’s been presented in other franchises. DiRT 4 bridges the gap between simulation and arcade in a far more s...

A mud-caked thrill when you’re behind the wheel, but disappointing elsewhere.

Thanks to great, authentic, and accessible mechanics and plenty of content to offer, Dirt 4 is one of the best rallying games we’ve played in the last few years.

After almost a year of waiting for the right simulation racing game to come around, Dirt 4 has me zoned-in for the duration.

Further evidence that Codemasters is the undisputed rally game maestro, DiRT 4 pushes the gymkhana bits into the background and serves up an off-road racer to relish. Bravo.

The latest in arguably Codemasters cornerstone racing franchise; rally racing on PS4 just doesn’t get better than Dirt 4. It simply doesn’t.

It’s perhaps symbolic that Codemasters has included Colin McRae’s old co-driver in Dirt 4 for the first time in one of its rally games since Colin McRae Rally 2005, because Dirt 4 very much feels like a return to the good old days of the series. Hearing Grist’s pace notes again – a voice drilled into my brain in the late ’90s and early 2000s via my ravenous consumption of all games beginning with the word ‘Colin’ – has taken me back nearly 20 years. Back then Codemasters’ rally games were the yardstick against which all other racers with off-road...

Back in the days of Sony’s first PlayStation, rally games were ten-a-penny. Everybody and their dog thought that they could just sign up some big-name driver and emulate the success of Codemasters’ genre-defining Colin McRae series. Those days thankfully came and went and now just a handful of contenders are left standing. Nobody has come close to rivaling Codies’ best though and with last year’s outstanding DiRT Rally, they proved that they were still masters of the sport.

In the end, Dirt Rally was just a glimpse of what was yet to come, with Dirt 4 bringing this long running series back with not just rallying, but more full-on wheel to wheel action alongside it. In going for a more focused style of game and a more demure attitude, it’s lost some of Dirt 3’s hyperactivity and fun, but with a limitless supply of new stages to send you car hurtling along, Dirt 4 is a rallying game for the ages.
