Dirt looks the same garbage as before although hopefully they've finally dropped Colin McRae's name from the title given the focus on being America, whereas Colin McRae was an incredible rally driver Ken Block is utterly hopeless at the WRC and nothing more than a showboater.

And? Those that know the sport will know that this is nothing like it and shouldn't have Colin McRae's name on it, none of the Dirt games should.

Actually I typed that because I have a lot of respect for Colin McRae, rather ironically your reply proves you clearly don't or simply don't have the faintest clue about the rally world. He wasn't on Dirt as a tribute (unless Codemasters predicted his death as the first game was published before he died), he was there as a money spinner as he had been for the last few despite having nothing to do with the series latterly. That was acceptable for the Xbox/PS2 games as they were still loosely based around the WRC but not for the newer consoles where the games aren't even proper rally games anymore.

For Dirt however using his name is just a total insult to Colin McRae - the game no longer has anything to do with the WRC as it's been completely Americanised with Ken Block at the centre of it. While Colin McRae had his ups and downs, there's no doubt he was an outstanding rally driver so it makes me sick to see his name on a game featured so heavily around Ken Block whose contributions to the WRC are so far to write his car off completely on the first stage of each rally.

That's fine if they want to Americanise it and go for the biggest audience but they should have stopped using McRae's name for the first Dirt game and certainly stopped it after he passed away rather than take advantage of the licensing that allowed them to keep on using it. It would be better for people to not know his name that only see it associated with a racing game that has nothing to do with Colin McRae's far better racing.

Never been a decent racing game with a known drivers name on it since Nigel Mansells Formula 1 Challenge on SNES
