Colin McRae Game Kicks Off with Official Name, Info, and Screens

We have earlier reported about Colin McRae making a comeback on next-gen consoles. Well recently, Codemasters have christened their rally racing game with an official name – Colin McRae: DIRT. Codemasters also confirmed that the game will launch for the PlayStation3, the Xbox 360, and PC simultaneously in 2007. A special edition for mobile phones will also be available from Codemasters Mobile. Another feather in the cap for the 8-million+ selling rally racing series!

Colin McRae: DIRT is being packaged as the most diverse and exhilarating off-road racing experience ever with sensational gravel, mud and dirt events the world over. Events will include the seriesÂ’ intense point-to-point races and then take players further off-road than ever before.

I’ve always enjoyed the World Rally Challenge (WRC) whenever I get the chance to watch it, and I could only hope to drive that well and navigate with ease. This game will enable you to race in challenging heavyweight 850bhp cars, drifting on the loose gravel and high-speed blind corners of Hill Climb events along perilous cliff edges. All 12.4 miles of the world famous Pikes Peak International is included, with over 150 precarious turns to negotiate through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Now, that’s a challenge in any language!

Multiple car races is also possible with Dakar-style trucks and super-powered 4x4s on the toughest desert terrain in Rally Raid competitions. The game is also amped with Rally Cross events, switching between dirt and road racing, where the competition is always tight, fast and collisions with your opponents are inevitable. Now, this would really test your versatility and reflexes!

With more off-road racing styles to be revealed, Colin McRae: DIRT will also offer a dedicated mode for European, International and Global rally championships featuring official 2WD, 4WD, Classic and RWD rally cars. With an incredible range of off-road vehicles, thrill-packed tracks, modes that make the most of online multiplayer, and more varied events than any other single-championship rally game, Colin McRae is being reborn as a bigger, faster, wilder racing experience. Codemasters can’t go wrong with that equation. For now, here are some of the game’s screens.
