Colin McRae: DiRT по сети

Colin McRae: DiRT is good not only for single player play: it has a strong network part, where you can ride both over the Internet and on the same screen with a friend in split-screen mode. There are different disciplines available in multiplayer - rallycross, rally raid, hill climb and crossover races - and it’s a completely different feeling when a live opponent is nearby. There are many vehicle classes, and they span different eras: from light buggies to heavy Pro-4 trucks and classmates of the first division buggy class. Some cars are only allowed for certain races, so you have to change from one vehicle to another and get used to the behavior again. In a single career, the famous American racer Travis Pastrana acts as a kind of guide: he comments on events and suggests where to move next. Such accompaniment makes the passage more lively and sets the tone for the entire mode. Long rally distances online are a special pleasure: you are not driving against someone who is nearby, but against time, and therefore it is important not to take risks for the sake of a second. In rallycross, on the contrary, the fight takes place over short periods with a real opponent on the next track, and behavior during turns decides a lot there. Different surfaces and weather change the mood of the same track beyond recognition. The peculiarity of such races is that no discipline forgives mistakes: rallycross requires wheel-to-wheel fighting, hill climbing requires an ideal trajectory, and raid requires endurance. For a group of friends, online championships in Colin McRae: DiRT are a special reason to return to the game years later.
