This is a good thing, because Dirt Rally is tough, really, really tough. Progression is governed by the cost involved in buying cars, meaning you have to start off in the slower stuff. You’ve got a choice of career modes, which see you gradually work your way up through the ages up to modern rally cars and onto Pikes Peak. It acts as a gentle introduction into the world of Dirt Rally while the game installs, after which the rest of content for the game becomes available. Things kick off with a choice of either a classic Escort or Mini, both set on a dusty number of stages in Greece. Dirt Rally takes a look at virtually every echelon and era of rally driving, from iconic Group B cars, to monstrous Pikes peak runners. The actual career mode is pretty stripped back and some might find the lack of detail on certain stages a little disappointing, but ultimately, the challenge of Dirt Rally should keep you coming back for more. The sound design in particular is excellent, as is the wide variety of cars on offer. So perfected is the physics engine and the challenge it presents, that the only way to truly succeed is with practice. This is a game which has depth in difficulty, not in content. High production values, big budgets and the desire to please all types of gamers, mean making a game difficult is often last on the list of objectives. Nowadays games appear almost afraid of presenting you with a challenge.
