![]() Complete that race and then that branches out further to other selections, so you can aim your career in a way for the events you want to partake in, or avoid others (like how I generally avoided the Gymkana events). Maybe one is an uphill race and the other a gymkhana. ![]() For example, once you finish the opening race there are two choices of race you want to do next. What I did enjoy is the option of what pathway you want to go through the campaign. Having to restart the odd race here and there because of a mess up on my part, I breezed through the campaign without much worry, even in the last handful of events. What I will say about the career mode is that it’s quite short and not all that challenging overall. Vehicles will range in types from trucks, buggies, GT, rally and even 900bhp sprint cars. While DIRT 5 doesn’t have an extensive car list, each category has a handful of different makes and models to choose from, and while you can add stickers and paintjobs with the livery editor, it’s nowhere near as expansive that we’ve become accustomed to in other pinnacle racers. Even more impressive was the dynamic weather where you can be racing in clear conditions one moment, then be in a near whiteout blizzard or a dust storm that makes it near impossible to see. Each area has its own distinct look and feel, but my favorites were the uphill one-way races where the terrain is your biggest competition. Across these locations are multiple routes for each area, plus a handful of different race types as well. ![]() Your racing career will span the globe across ten different locations, from Brazil, Greece, Nepal, Norway, China, Italy, Morocco, South Africa, Arizona and Roosevelt Island. I was also quite surprised to learn that voice over icons Nolan North and Troy Baker lent their talents to part of the campaign as well, adding a professional touch to the whole experience in the world of off-road racing. The career is where you’ll spend the majority of your time, rising from a no-body to a star within the sport, under the coaching from another icon. On paper there’s plenty to do here, from a decently sized career across many different race types and weather patterns, split-screen and online races, and even a track editor where you can race endless maps made by the community. Luckily, DIRT 5 released just before the Series X launch and had Smart Delivery, meaning I got to get the upgraded version for my Series X, which this review is based on.Ĭodemasters has been around for quite some time and I’ve been a fan of their other racing games for years, so I was excited to finally dig my feet into DIRT 5 for the first time, unsure what to really expect other than some pretty visuals. Now that the Xbox Series X has launched, I was looking for some Xbox Series X|S specific games to test out the new console and TV with, to see what all the hype was about. While I’ve played a few of the DIRT series entries here and there, I never really spent much substantial time with any of the iterations over the years.
