Colin McRae Dirt review

Now strangely lacking Colin McRae

Also, all of these tip-top effects come at a cost. You need a monster of a machine to run the game how it’s supposed to be played. Devoid of DirectX10 features, you’ll at least be spared from having to endure Vista in order to play, but recommended specs include an Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM and a 768MB graphics card. That’s a pretty hefty set-up. Even on our über games machine, we experienced the odd bit of slow down, and lesser systems will be hard-pressed to keep up the pace.

But despite the announcing, the lack of multiplayer options and the machine chugging, Colin McRae: Dirt is well worth the purchase.
