alright with in game cockpit u can expect to take on average an 8fps hit from cockpit view compared to the benchmark which gives fairly consistent scores that are extremely accurate when compared to game play
DX11 gameplay
DX10 gameplay
Alright now As far as racing games go i have to say Dirt2 is nothing more then an expansion of Grid thats it Graphics are nice but the only difference here is some tessellated water as far as gameplay its fun just like grid was fun just it dosent have the hardcore feel the older Colin games had. I guess all i can say is i seriously expected more gameplay is shallow controller support is shoddy just as it was with Grid all i really see here is what should a be a $20 expansion onto Grid theres no reason to pay retail for this game wait for it to hit bargin bin or get free with ur GPU eitherway in my honest opinion its a shiny rehash of Dirt1 with a Grid feel when gaming i dont feel like im in that trophy truck it feels more like an ATV from the older PS2 games.
Fun Factor 8/10 what can i say crashing is still a blast but defeats the purpose
Graphics 6/10 nothing ground breaking its a console port to be blunt
Control 3/10 horrible controls they need to revamp there controller selection saitek P990 while old should work here no issue as its accepted by every other game i own except codemasters games
Overall 7/10 it makes the grade but barely leaves alot of room for improvement and that improvement is desperetly needed this is a rent it for PS3 / 360 beat it toss it game even with 2 free copies im not longer even intrested at this point
