The third full-fledged installment belonging to the incredibly popular racing-themed franchise developed by Codemasters. The DiRT subseries has cultivated traditions initiated in the late 1990s by the Colin McRae Rally series.

Colin McRae DiRT 3 for PC, PSP and etc. is another installment in a series of racing games bearing the name of a deceased Scottish rally driver. Contrary to the second installment of the subseries (a youthful atmosphere of extreme sports and an emphasis placed on off-road competition), DiRT 3 returns to rallying in the classic form.

Mechanics

The game makes use of the World Rally Championship licenses, which is an event organized by the FIA. Thus many references to real-life elements were included here, such as rally teams, locations, as well as history of the WRC. Still, the player can take part in extreme off-road races that prevailed in the predecessing game.

Colin McRae DiRT 3 for PC, PSP and etc. offers over 100 routes, 38 of which are typical rally stages that are over twice as numerous as in DiRT 2. In the third installment, the player races on street tracks in the US (also, special arenas popularized by the X Games competitions), rubble roads in Finland, as well as in Norway, where the roads are covered with snow. Apart from that, the player is taken to the magnificent Monte Carlo, but also visits Kenya, Africa. As a result, completing all the in-game races and taking part in every tournament included will take twice as much time as the main component in the previous installment did.

DiRT / WRC Series

Series DiRT is the direct successor to the series Colin McRae Rally, launched in 1998 by Codemasters. When in 2004 the series' patron Colin McRae abandoned WRC racing in favor of the Dakar Rally and the X-Games series, the developers decided to change the direction of its development, enriching the game with off-road rallies and increasing the range of available vehicles to include off-road cars, trucks and rovers. The new game also received a significant name DiRT.
