And that’s before you contend with the overly aggressive artificial intelligence. You can still play them with Simulation handling, but the more novel vehicles like the buggies and karts are almost impossible to control for mere mortals. When you’re not playing career mode the idea of having a bunch of less realistic modes to relax with, and with which to attract the casual crowd, seems perfectly sensible. An overreaction, no doubt, to the Americanised glamour of previous games. There’s some interesting management elements, where you have to balance the books, deal with advertisers, and hire and fire staff, but it’s all a bit by-the-numbers and lacking in pizazz. Whether you consider the course creation a positive or a negative is very much a matter of personal taste, but the rest of the career mode is a little perfunctory.

You have full control over generating them yourself though, and can share ones you like with friends. That means you get an infinite supply of never before seen circuits, but the downside is that the designs tend to be rather bland and overly similar. Although the career mode is quite different because the tracks are no longer hand-made and instead procedurally-generated. The casuals you are appeasing will be gone when the next gimmicky trash comes along and we the real fans will be waiting as usual at the back of the queue.Choose Simulation and the handling model proves very similar to DiRT Rally – and so the more straightforward game modes feel like an extension of that game. Come on codemasters you had it right with dirt rally all you needed to do was give us a few more tracks and cars and we would have been more than happy instead you pander to these scum casuals, even if you would have just gave us DLC for dirt rally I would have paid for it rather than waste money thinking this is it when it isn’t. The exact team who created dirt rally should be used for dirt rally 2 I don’t want to have to wait through another 3 of this trash before it happens. When I first heard of Dirt 4 I thought na it’s too good to be true this soon, I was proven right. It would not have been hard for Codemasters to simply add a Dirt rally handling option yet they have not….Why? because the physics don’t allow it.

The entire gaming industry is threated by developers pandering to casuals for a quick buck instead of listening to dedicated life-long fans. Hard-core gamers want hard-core games with no limitations in the physics to “assist” new comers, this game will never be competitive for this exact reason it’s not a level playing field. The other users reviewing the game positively are newcomers and not hard-core fans, the applaud the games accessibility yet fail to see that the success of dirt rally was in its lack of accessibility. When in the air you can see the game forcing the car straight trying to land on either the left, right two or all four tyres as if those are the only 3 outcomes available instead of just letting the physics dictate it. In dirt 4 when the car hits a jump or bump the physics feel heavy almost as if the track is magnetic. Hitting a random bump in the road and flying of track in to a tree at 100mph that’s rally that’s dirt rally. It might not have the same pomp and circumstance of previous numbered entries in the series, but Dirt 4 maintains the robust depth of Dirt Rally's full-blooded simulation, while smartly opening. The cars feel under powered and the sense of speed is gone. As such, it feels stale at times, and unlocking new events and purchasing new cars becomes formulaic. The car just seems to want to stay on the track and doesn’t have to be forced to stay on. Dirt 4 has ripped out the over the top style from Dirt 3, but it’s also ripped out some of the character in the process. When you through the back out the game steps in and assists with recovery, I matched the setting to my Dirt rally settings and it did not help. The supposed “Sim” handling is on rails and the cars have an unrealistic amount for grip.
