Dirt Trackin Sprint Cars

I’ve grown up around sprint cars my whole life, and enjoyed playing this game. It’s not perfect, but it is a lot of fun. It takes a while to get used to the controls. I think that if you try and stay on the throttle as much as possible, the car handles like it should. If you get out of the throttle and try and turn, you will spin out. Tap the gas and quickly turn as you get back into the throttle if you need to slow down. If you can stay on the throttle, turn hard into the corner, and then let the car drive out of the corner with a little counter steering, and you will be fine. I like that the winged car handles differently, which is like real life. Improvements to the game could be making track conditions a factor, and allowing you to make adjustments to the car.

I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but in this case I'm going to make an exception. As a long time player and avid fan of the original dirt trackin game, seeing an updated, sprint car focused version was an instant purchase for me. Man am I sad to say that I regret it. I don't know if it was a change in game engine, or if the control scheme needs refining but something has happened between the original game and this one that has wrecked the gameplay. The cars have gone from fluid and fun to clunky, unpredictable and nearly undriveable. I can't even comment about the AI because I can barely make laps around the track. I believe a good bit of the problems may lie in how the tilt controls are mapped, because I noticed when using them that the front wheels are barely turning, even when I'm countersteering to full lock, but when I switched to the onscreen wheel the front wheels started steering again. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure 99% of people don't want to drive with anything but tilt controls. The only reason this review isn't one star is because of the quality of game that the original Dirt Trackin was, and because I believe if the developers can right the mess that is the controls/driving this will be a great upgrade. Bennett games, you can do better than this! Set your house in order!

The graphics are nice. The physics of the cars are completely unrealistic. I read a review where the reviewer states he has driven a sprint car. He states that if you slow down going into the corners and let the car slide around like a real Sprint Car the game works well. I’ve never raced a real sprint car but I know several guys who do. I can’t speak for every guy that races but the good ones that I know don't back off the power when going thru corners. They hook the car into a slide and stand on the throttle using the ridiculous amount of horse power that Sprint Cars have to push them thru the corners. They don’t refer to Sprint Cars as “Fire Breathing Dragons” because they slow down much. I’m also not a expert on video game development but it’s my opinion the game needs a more customizable steering options. In the game when the car goes into a power slide their doesn’t seem to be enough counter steering to recover from the slide. The original Dirt Tracking doesn’t have this problem this problem. I can’t recommend others purchase this game as it is now.

Most of the people on here are frustrated because they say that the car is too hard to handle, if u have know racing background then it’s kinda hard to play, my advice to all players is too use the touch controls those are the easiest! and again if you don’t have a racing background it’s kinda hard to understand. i only say this because when u are going into a turn, u have to know how to keep the car going into the turn, for the developers it would be awesome if we could actually have like a custom race where you have to qualify and then heat race then like a b-main or the dash and then lastly the feature or A main Another great thing to add would be to be able to customize ur own car, other than that the only complaint is the ai get wacky sometimes lol, but it’s a great game all around!!

I read a lot of reviews about the game and even looked up some gameplay just to be sure before I bought it. I seriously wish I didn’t waste my money on this game, I wish I could ask for a refund. Or better yet the time I spent frustratingly attempting to figure out the controls thinking I just needed to “get good” after about an hour I gave up. It doesn’t matter what difficulty you play on. You will be struggling to even keep it off the walls or keep it from spinning the whole time. Do not buy this game. -EDIT- After reinstalling the game and spending around 30 minutes in hot laps just screwing around and not trying to do well I started to get the hang of it and I must say it is very fun and definitely more intense than expected. However keep in mind this after around 2 and a half hours of pure aggravation. If your patient and love sprint cars buy this game.
