Dirt

The main game mode is the career where you work your way up a pyramid of different tiers with events ranging from normal Rallies over Crossover or Corr to Hill Climb. For every event you complete successfully, you get points and money. Money is used to buy new cars. While the amount of money depends on choosing one of the five difficulty levels, the amount of points depends on your final result in the event; you receive the maximum of 10 points for completing an event with a first place regardless of the difficulty level. These points are needed to unlock new events in the current tier. If you have gathered enough points, the next tier will be automatically unlocked so you don't need to do every race in a tier in order to unlock the final event at the top.

The game features several licensed true-to-detail-vehicles with a detailed damage model. Each vehicle can also be tuned in several categories like engine or suspension before each event. To make it even more individual, you can create your own look of the car with predefined kits. There are also 182 different liveries to collect and 46 different cars.

In addition to the career mode, the game features the classic Colin McRae rally mode with four championships where you need to prove your worth in several car categories like 2WD or Classic. You can also do a time trial, a single event or a single race.
