Game Introduction

The game's amazing dirt and water splashes actually affect the graphic maps on the cars during the race. Driving into mud pits or hitting water pools either muddies up the vehicle or cleans it, respectively.

Game Play

Try to find alternate shortcuts over rocks and grass. Avoid mud and water pools as they slow you down.

The game options are set in a menu system after the Test button has been pressed. The game uses a 500W100VAC servo motor to provide force feedback steering.PA woofer under the seat mixes the lower frequencies of channel 1 and 2. The Model3 architecture really has four channels, but in IDirt DevilI, channels 3 and 4 have the same music as in channel 1 and channel 2 and are active only in the selection mode.
