This week's edition of the regular Critical Reception column examines online reaction to DiRT, an arcade-style rally racer that critics describe as "one of the finest driving-centric titles to hit the still-new 360 world."
DiRT is the latest edition in the long-running Colin McRae series of rally racing titles, which saw its first release for the PlayStation in Europe in 1998. Since then, rally fans have regarded the series as being among the best in its genre, and every new release has debuted to high review scores from a majority of outlets. Metacritic notes that no Colin McRae release has ever earned a Metascore less than 80 out of 100, and the Xbox 360 version of DiRT follows tradition with an impressive review score average of 82 out of 100.
