Rocket Chainsaw reviewed DiRT 4 last year giving it 4 stars, calling it. “a solid rally racing game that attempts to appeal to all corners of the market.” The DiRT Rally games differentiate a bit from the main DiRT games however, and are tailered more towards a realistic rally experience, something many fans have appreciated.
