Codemasters reveals global sales of Colin McRae's latest instalment; Americanisation pays off with over 50% of sales in North America...
Codemasters has today confirmed that one week global sales of Colin McRae DiRT have passed through the half million unit mark, taking the number two spot in the UK charts, and the top spot in North America.
The game has had a significant overhaul, with Colin McRae DiRT (or just plain DiRT across the pond) broadening the franchise's appeal with gamers on the other side of the Atlantic - which today's figures certainly back up.
"This success with DiRT is a text-book case of our product development, marketing and distribution efforts all working together to ignite consumer interest and drive sales," said Rod Cousens, CEO, Codemasters. "Nearly half of our first week's sales are from the U.S. alone, which means momentum behind this series is taking hold in new territories."
Currently available on Xbox 360 and PC, DiRT is set to scream onto PlayStation3 later in the year.

to the guy who prefer rsc2 , the handling is the same, what are you on? and the graphics are amazing ,they get better the further you get through the game, some gamers say get the steering wheel and it changes the feel totally making it more realistic but tbh i think its the best racing game for 360 by a mile

I have no experience of previous Colin Mcrae Games but I loved Rallisport challenge 2... and I love this!!! It looks incredible and once you get used to the handling it feels and plays great too. The horrible American 'Way to go dude!!!' voiceovers after every race may try your patience though.

i like the graphics and all but, the handling pulls the whole game down, hopefully codemasters can make a handling patch but please do rent it b4 u buy it 6/10

Looks great but cars feel strangely weighted, no doubt intended to make it easier to drive and more accessible to kids but as a result loses a lot of its character. Rent before you jump onto the hype wagon. I prefer the feel of Rallisport2 and will wait on Rallisport3. Hope they don't make that "more accessable" too 8.5/10

You are wise and fools, this game will only have very small diffences from xbox 360 to ps3. It dosen't matter what system you pick becasue you pick the right one for you.
