Codemasters' premier rally series is finally on the latest platforms, but does it continue the good name or fall short?

Before you even start a race, you know this isn't any ordinary game. The opening select menus are full-on 3d resembling the interface from "Minority Report" or "The Matrix". In addition to being virtually whiplashed between the menu options, you are also presented with your current race stats (which can be almost as painful as the multiple crashes you'll witness). US Pro-racer and X-games gold medallist Travis Pastrana also provides driving tips while the game continues to load.

Having to choose between two great games is terribly difficult, especially when the choices are Forza Motorsport 2 and Colin McRae DiRT for Xbox 360. On one hand, Forza 2 offers a realistic simulation with over 300 licensed cars and plenty of customization options but on the other hand, Codemasters is finally bringing authentic rally racing to the next-generation consoles. Even as I put the pristine DVD in my Xbox 360, I couldn't help but wonder if I had made the right choice reviewing this game ? was sacrificing all those virtual Porsches and Ferraris worth it?

Really, how far does a series have to drift away from its original premise before it all gets a bit ridiculous? Bar the appearance of the Scotsman's name in the after-race placings and the fact that it's an off-road racing game, finding elements that link DiRT to previous titles in the Colin McRae series is something of a challenge. Where have Colin and Nicky Grist disappeared to? Why has everything gone transatlantic? Why is the very first thing you hear when you start the game the voice of US pro-racer and X-games gold medallist Travis Pastrana? Do you want to play a rally game in which your co-driver addresses you as dude?
