The first of these is to play with other friends locally, as Dirt 5 has reintroduced up to four player split-screen multiplayer to the series. If you’re not feeling enough challenge playing against the AI, you can also move onto the multiplayer aspects in the game, which are available in two different ways. Within Arcade, you can choose between Free Play and Time Trial, which let you try for your best times across the various tracks in the game. As a result, this is something you don’t want to continually be doing.įor those that would rather just race without a story surrounding it, the game’s Arcade mode is just for you. While it does allow you to switch sponsors at anytime, changing will reset your Rep that you have earned. These sponsors differ in things such as race payout, bonuses, and more, so there’s some perks to having certain sponsors. While you start off with just Codemasters as your sponsor, you have the opportunity to change eventually. It wouldn’t be a racing game like this without the ability to sign up with different sponsors.
You will also unlock what are known as Throwdowns along the way by completing specific tasks in career, which will put you up against one other driver in a mano a mano match-up. Once you reach the end of a path, you will reach one of the Main Event races, which will require a certain number of the aforementioned Stamps to access. This not only gives you plenty more to do, but also helps with earning additional XP, Rep, and Dirt Dollars. These Event Objectives are not even always the same either, as you can reroll them to do other objectives. Completing objectives will give you Stamps that you will need to collect to unlock further events in the career mode. Career mode does start a little slow before it really ramps it up into high gear with the many more race options and locations for you to enjoy.Įach race also has objectives for you to complete, which are split into Career Objectives and Event Objectives. There is not just one set path for you to go down either, as you get to choose as you’re playing based on the races you participate in. This mode begins by giving you events to complete, with more being unlocked the more you finish. You start off by catching the attention of a veteran driver voiced by Troy Baker, who helps mentor you on your journey. The most fully fledged of these modes is definitely Career, which is pretty standard for a racing game career mode. There is plenty to be found in Dirt 5, as there are multiple different game modes to keep you busy. The game also has fantastic sound effects and a great soundtrack of songs to accompany the various areas of the game as well. The water effects as you splash through puddles on the track still look as great as they did in the previous game, along with the beautiful winter settings that really stand out. This is especially the case with the dynamic weather system in the game, which is dependent on the seasons. It still doesn’t look quite as good as say Forza Horizon 4, but it still looks very good regardless. Speaking of the image quality, Dirt 5 does look quite good as you’re racing through the various environments available to you in the game. It is great to have this option on the current-gen option, with the promise of even better performance on the next-gen version that will be a free upgrade. Focusing on framerate allows you to play the game at 60Hz, while focusing on image quality takes it down to 30Hz. This may only be an option on premium consoles like the PS4 Pro, as that is what we played the game on. As Codemasters has come to be known for, the game is about as technically perfect when it comes to driving as you can get.ĭirt 5 also comes with two different video options available to you, which let you choose whether to prioritize image quality or frame rate. Making your way around curves and not spinning out is something you have to learn to time correctly and failure to do so will almost always be as a result of your own mistake rather than anything the game offers. Codemasters has a pedigree for designing excellent racers from a driving perspective and this game continues that with excellent and precise handling that differs depending on the type of vehicle you are using. Driving in Dirt 5 is pretty much what you would expect from this type of racer control wise, with the ability to accelerate, brake, drift, and more.
