Codemasters released today the Colin McRae: DIRT playable demos for the Xbox 360 video game and the PC, and confirmed a U.S. release date of June 19, 2007. The DIRT demos take gamers on three mud-splattered race events. The Xbox 360 demo events include Crossover, Hill Climb and C.O.R.R. (Championship Off-Road Racing). The PC demo swaps mountains for multiplayer and enables up to 100 players to go head-to-head in a race for the best time over a point-to-point rally stage. Both demos are available for download now - The Xbox 360 version from Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and the PC version of the demo, complete with a multiplayer event, available from www.codemasters.com/dirt.

LOL I am only getting 10~15FPS and my grahpic setting is at all ON, HIGHEST and ULTRE (everything is on the maxium) ZOMG and I even OC my CPU and GPU and I only getting 14FPS

EDIT: OMG this game is realy sh*t IMO on the real drivingaspect. The graphics is realy good but the steet, brake, accurate and other controling aspect is just low to the ground its the worst steering ever. I have tweaked all the optional still no use.

Which means your graphics card can't run it. You need at least an X1000 series card. Happened to me as well.

Casheti I just looked at you specs and we have the same cards. I guess this game requires P.S. 3.0. O well thanks for the reply.

Yes you need SM3.0

I have X850XT and I can't play either.

Seems like only these crap 360 ports require SM 3.0. Oh well, better off not wasting my time playing them then.

You guys can praise this game if you like but I found it impossible to play unless you have a wheel or gamepad. I hoped to be able to use my mouse to turn left/right but that's not an option.

you should try lowering the steering saturation (in the control setup section of the options)

persoanlly, i like it at 65%. makes controlling the car with the keyboard a whole lot easier.

Yes, that's what the problem was. I have the camera set on the hood
Steering Dead Zone 40%
Steeting Saturation 65%

All is well now. Love the game!

Got the full game and its sweet, much better than 2005 and that was good graphics wise, just got boring having no one to race against!

My only quarm with it is since I installed the patch for it I cant run ultra settings because my gfx card dont have enough memory and im running it 1024x768? I installed the patch coz when I first played it, it had a massive cloud over the race so the sunlight was never shining on the car lol, was weird! Anyway it runs and looks great with high settings and im chuffed to bits with the feel of the game and with a wheel its even better! Well worth the download :D

That's way too demanding specs just for a crappy racing game.
