There are the only two issues I have with Dirt Rally VR but neither are a game breaker –

Stunning graphics, handling, sound and physics plus for the motor heads enough tinkering to almost build your own car. All this has now been upgraded to make use of PSVR and it is definitely an impressive upgrade.įirst off let’s get the elephant out of the room – after many hours playing Dirt Rally VR I have experienced No motion sickness issues whatsoever and considering the movement on-screen with the cars sliding left to right, up and over crests and the occasional flip (maybe more than occasional) it is amazing to think I have suffered nothing, granted I do have an excellent stomach for these things but I wasn’t expecting no twinges or rumbles at all so whatever magic Codemasters have implemented has to be acknowledged.

I will start with a basic run down of the core game as this has now been on the shelves since 2015 on PC and early 2016 on consoles so needs no lengthy review, actually it has already been excellently reviewed by us at Bonus Stage. Dirt Rally really needs no introduction, multi terrain courses from all over the world ranging from the challenging to the near impossible, a massive variation in cars from the old 80’s Rally cars like the Audi Quattro up to the most technical marvels of today. But don’t let this very minor issue put you off because if you love your Rally (or just driving games in particular) and own a VR headset then take it from me, you just have to own this. (Sorry Evolutions Studios). I remember clamping down my steering wheel to an old coffee table with wires trailing off to the two pedals and switching Colin McRae on the original PlayStation back in 1998. I was blown away by the graphics, the handling and the physics of it all thinking you could never improve on this, but fast forward to 2016 on PS4 and a new rally game from Codemasters was released – Dirt Rally.Ī game that just screams perfection, but little did I or anyone else know Codemasters were working away quietly on an update for their current Rally sim, that update would fulfil any Rally fans dream- the perfect Rally game in virtual reality and I have to say they have almost achieved that perfection, I say almost but this is not through lack of trying from the developer’s but due to the current restraints on the PSVR hardware. If you mention Codemasters to any gamer there first thought is Rally. They have been at the forefront of the best Rally game’s since……well…….
