This guy (Jaggyroad) has done many many excellent flight sim videos, but now he has done one for Dirt 3 and it's pretty special. He's been paid by flight sim developers to develop promotional videos for their products. I think he should probably be on the payroll of all video game game developers.

If he was trying to get me to want to buy Dirt 3, he succeeded.
Superb. I only wish I liked the game as much as I liked this video.
Just saw that Dirt 3: Complete Edition (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0074LIX16/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER) is coming out on March 20th for only $40.

This is another one I'm very interested in. I loved Dirt 2, but was hoping for a demo of Dirt 3 before I bought it.
Am I to assume, then, that I paid 40 quid for Dirt 3: Half-Arsed Edition last year?
It seemed to split opinion but I'm firmly in the camp that reckons Dirt 2 was better. Various reasons for this, including the following:
- For all that being called "Heyadam" got very old very fast, it's much, much better than having Christian Stevenson urging me to upload every bloody replay to "Yootoob", whatever that might be. Delivered properly, it sounds like an insult - "Christian, you tube."
- The career structure in Dirt 2 was better and made rather more sense.
- Half of Dirt 3's races take place on snow. It might even be more than that. There's much less location variety than there was in Dirt 2.
- Apparently there's more pure rallying in this game than in any other Dirt title. I've never found it, nor have I figured out what their measurement is based on. There's hardly a rally stage in the game over 2 minutes long.
- The gymkhana. Sweet merciful Mary McGillycuddy, the gymkhana.
Your mileage may vary and if you liked Dirt 2, you're certainly not going to hate Dirt 3. You just won't necessarily think it's any kind of advancement.
Adam, my wife thanks you for saving us $40.

Yeah, that pisses me off too. And I actually liked 1>2>3.
