Of course, using your dirt bike brakes to avoid a potential crash on the track or trail is always a good skill. I personally have no issue with this kind of pass, as I believe the used game market hurts game developers, but I am sure many will disagree.You've probably heard the phrase, "You've got to go slower, to go faster." Juggling the brakes on your dirt bike with the throttle and knowing when to slow down or even stop in some cases gets you further in a Motocross race than someone who doesn't know that delicate balance. What this pass gives you access to unlock all Dirt 3 multiplayer modes, 5 on-disk cars (Colin McRae R4, 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500, Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak and the Hummer H3) and the ability to upload up to 30 second clips to YouTube.

VIP Pass | 800 MS credits/10$ (free with new copy of game)Ī lot of people will find this type of DLC to be controversial… mainly those that buy used games (it comes free with every new copy of the game).
Keep in mind that this car is only available for rally events in-game. If you are a fan of 70’s rally or want to support a good cause, this car is for you. Like other car DLC, this one comes with five different liveries. All proceeds from the pack go to the Colin McRae Vision Charity, which raises funds for causes around the world. This car was driven by, and is a tribute to Colin McRae, who died in 2007. This DLC allows you to drive the Ford Escort Mk II, a rear wheel driven car that had much success in the mid-late 70’s rally scene (unbeaten on the RAC Rally from 1975-79). In the end, fog becomes more of a cosmetic change than anything.Ĭolin McRae Vision Charity Pack | 160 MS credits/2$
Fog effectively reduces your view distance in game, but the reduction will only be noticed in higher performing cars, as you will have even less time to prepare for those imminent hairpins. Sadly, the new Fog weather effect is a bit underwhelming. Another bonus is that the rally stages for this DLC are integrated into the world tour (unlike the DLC tracks of say Forza 3, that were unfortunately not part of the career mode). There is little room for error in Monte Carlo, and it is fun as hell. Some advice: Don’t get too liberal with your racing line, or you will be sure to be rewarded with a high-speed flip off a sheer cliff. This is not a run for the feint of heart and Codemasters implicitly stated that this DLC was not for the beginner. Monte Carlo can be summed up as fast (with some hairpins to keep you honest), narrow, a wall of rock on one side, a sheer cliff on the other, with breathtaking views, ice and snow at the top and a new weather effect fog to keep things interesting. Any true rally fan should be salivating at the change to run the Monte Carlo mountain ranges. Monte Carlo Track Pack | 800 MS credits/10$ĭoes 800 credits seem a little steep for you? Just do yourself a favor and buy this DLC. I could not help thinking this car was on disk, and I just paid to have it unlocked. It may not be a huge file, and Xbox Live is fast, but not INSTANT fast. I should note that this 58 MB DLC downloaded instantaneously on Xbox Live. Mind you, for 1.50$, I can think of worse things to buy. Unless you are a Gymkhana fan, I would just let this DLC slide. I am personally not the biggest fan of Gymkhana in Dirt 3 (an experiment by codemasters that seems to be getting hot and cold responses), but I welcome the variety and the chance of pace. This little mid engined custom beast is a lot of fun, although it is too bad it is limited to Gymkhana events. Mini Gymkhana Special Pack | 160 MS Credits/2$ Below are my impressions of the offerings to date. After a little over one months time, all released DLC adds up to 33$ (23$ if you bought a new copy of the game) and more is in the pipeline. Many Dirt 2 fans begged for DLC to no avail, but this time our calls have been heard… just don’t tell your wallet. In a gaming world that is increasingly populated with microtransactions, Codemasters has joined the DLC bandwagon in a big way with biweekly DLC for Dirt 3.
DLC for Codemasters excellent rally arcade/sim Dirt 3 is coming fast and furious.
