To all intents and purpose, gamer mode is simply DIRT-lite. You can liberally slide around corners, use the handbrake to your heart's content and jump around in as much rain and snow as you like without much risk of spinning out. It isn't to say that racing on Gamer isn't fun, it certainly is. Even when altering the settings to make it as difficult as it can be, it offers no challenge at all. Inclusivity for those who would struggle on simulation is an excellent thing, it could have just been a little more in the middle. I fully understand and appreciate the want, even the need to make a more arcade and approachable method of playing the game. Having spent a couple of hours with 'Gamer' controls, I can't help but be a little disappointed. This is mainly because Gamer controls are just too easy. I'm far from the best at racing games, but I can't help but recommend Simulation controls. What's most important is that it's approachable, despite the difficulty. The thought requirements are still there, you need to pay attention to every bump, the surface of the track and particularly the weather. It's still unforgiving if you take a corner too fast, slam on the brakes too hard or turn too hard. Simulation is the closest you'll get to DiRT Rally. When starting DIRT 4 for the first time, the game will ask you to choose between Gamer and Simulation controls. I should explain what was said at the end of the first paragraph. It's a shame that there are a few glaring flaws too.

Dirt 4 is at its best when you're hit with an intense feeling of relief as you finish a race, hopefully in first but often not. Where the stress of a bumpy track leaves you with sweaty palms. Where spinning out of control on the last lap leaves you with a hole in your stomach. DIRT 4 has both eased this off slightly and also gone too far, gutting the game of any challenge.ĭirt 4 is at its best when you're on the edge of your seat. Moving away from the DIRT franchise's more accessible nature, DIRT Rally had a steep learning curve, it was terribly difficult and uncompromising to anybody and everybody alike. It had a laser focus and knew exactly what it wanted to be. There's little argument against saying it's the best rally game ever released. In December 2015, Codemasters released DIRT Rally.
