The game came in perfect condition. Nothing was damaged, and everything was sealed shut. The price was understandable since it is a recently new game. But it came very quick and on time. In fact the game came at the exact date that Best Buy said it was expected to be!

A decent arcade rally racing game. Looks good, sounds good, and plays well. If you have three others to play with it even has local 4 player split screen. Almost unheard of in this day and age.

The game is not for everybody. Dirt game 2 was my favorite game back in my PC game years. When you get to see a game like this coming out during a new generation console is something I was exited about. The game in particular is nothing fancy but it has a lot of content from: many styles of cars to many maps and places. The graphics are good but not next generation level. The gameplay is amazing the diferent wether conditions and details they put into the game. I use to live Dirt 2: baja california pickup trucks in the dirt but this game exited the content of Dirt 2.

Looks fantastic on the Xbox Series X. The free upgrade to next-gen is well worth the price. It does have a steeper learning curve and limited track selection, but it is worth the price.

Better on Series X than PS5 - controls are more accurate, better calibrated for Series X controllers maybe? Easier to counter-steer with this version. Amazing graphics!

This is a good game, easy to play and win. They just need to make the graphics for it better. I'm playing it on the new Xbox Series X and it looks, but it wasn't made for the Xbox Series X. It was made for the last generation consoles. So I'm sure if they were to make it for the Xbox Series X and PS5 it would look phenomenal.

I used to love the old dirt games, but the last few that have come out haven't really been all that great. This one feels like it's finally fun again! The racing is not similar at all to other racing titles like Forza, as this game has a more arcade style compared to forza's more realistic physics. The career mode is also another great addition. I can definitely say I'm happy with this game!

Disappointing return to the Dirt franchise

I have been a big fan of the Dirt (and Rally) series of games for a long time. I really enjoyed Dirt 3 and Dirt 4 for the mix of races styles, graphics (scenery), and the feel of the cars on the tracks.
However, Dirt 5 feels like a completely different game to me. The car physics just doesn't feel right, like they are not connected to the surface. The terrain and surface changes (for example puddles of standing water) have minimal impact as you drive through them. It looks like they are just there for eye candy and do not impact how you race around the course.
The courses are generally uninspired and basic. While the scenery changes, I often feel like I'm driving around the same course layout. There are plenty of different vehicle classes, but they don't really feel that much different, other than the truck vs. car.
Ice Breaker and Sprint races feel like they were developed by a completely different team. The car controls and handling are vastly different.
I will say that some of the graphics can be really nice, but it is disappointing that they didn't use any type of terrain deformation, which you would expect to see on a next gen title by this point.
In summary, this game feels more like a bargain bin game you would find for about half the price. It seems more like a "get this game out quickly to meet the holidays and new console launch" type of game to me. Hopefully Codemasters can return to form with Dirt 6 and Rally 3.0

This is a pretty fun game and looks awesome with legit 4K visuals and the sound is top notch. It definitely has a learning curve to it if you play on harder difficulties but nothing that is too aggravating.

One of the best Dirt games I've played . I'm really enjoying the more arcade feel to the cars handling instead of the simulation type. I would recommend it to racing fans
