Like you would expect from a BMW this is a real “point and shoot” rear wheel drive with excellent balance. Power and Glory Car Pack | 480 MS Credits/6$ (160/2$ per car if bought separate)įirst is the 80’s BMW M3 Rally, which is limited to… rally stages. The question is, how much is it worth to you? This DLC is the solution to one of my few criticisms of Dirt 3… I wanted more Rally locations. In the end, fog becomes more of a cosmetic change than anything. Fog effectively reduces your view distance in game, but the reduction will only be noticed in higher performing cars, as you will have even less time to prepare for those imminent hairpins. Sadly, the new Fog weather effect is a bit underwhelming. Another bonus is that the rally stages for this DLC are integrated into the world tour (unlike the DLC tracks of say Forza 3, that were unfortunately not part of the career mode). There is little room for error in Monte Carlo, and it is fun as hell. Some advice: Don’t get too liberal with your racing line, or you will be sure to be rewarded with a high-speed flip off a sheer cliff. This is not a run for the feint of heart and Codemasters implicitly stated that this DLC was not for the beginner. Monte Carlo can be summed up as fast (with some hairpins to keep you honest), narrow, a wall of rock on one side, a sheer cliff on the other, with breathtaking views, ice and snow at the top and a new weather effect fog to keep things interesting. Any true rally fan should be salivating at the change to run the Monte Carlo mountain ranges. Monte Carlo Track Pack | 800 MS credits/10$ĭoes 800 credits seem a little steep for you? Just do yourself a favor and buy this DLC. I could not help thinking this car was on disk, and I just paid to have it unlocked. It may not be a huge file, and Xbox Live is fast, but not INSTANT fast. I should note that this 58 MB DLC downloaded instantaneously on Xbox Live. Mind you, for 1.50$, I can think of worse things to buy. Unless you are a Gymkhana fan, I would just let this DLC slide. I am personally not the biggest fan of Gymkhana in Dirt 3 (an experiment by codemasters that seems to be getting hot and cold responses), but I welcome the variety and the chance of pace. This little mid engined custom beast is a lot of fun, although it is too bad it is limited to Gymkhana events. Mini Gymkhana Special Pack | 160 MS Credits/2$ Below are my impressions of the offerings to date. After a little over one months time, all released DLC adds up to 33$ (23$ if you bought a new copy of the game) and more is in the pipeline. Many Dirt 2 fans begged for DLC to no avail, but this time our calls have been heard… just don’t tell your wallet. In a gaming world that is increasingly populated with microtransactions, Codemasters has joined the DLC bandwagon in a big way with biweekly DLC for Dirt 3. DLC for Codemasters excellent rally arcade/sim Dirt 3 is coming fast and furious.
