Ken Block With New Game Mode In DiRT 3

WRC Rally driver and DiRT 3 consultant Ken Block has revealed the newest game mode in DiRT 3 dubbed “Gymkhana”.

DiRT 3’s new Gymkhana game mode tests players freestyle driving skills in large racing compounds packed with props and jumps, capturing the same freedom of expression, showmanship and precise car control.

Players can take on specific career based events, compete anElectronic Theatre Imaged hang out with friends in online multiplayer or split-screen or become gymkhana stars themselves by uploading videos of their favourite sequences direct to YouTube.

“I had a blast working with the guys on last year’s Colin McRae: DiRT 2, and with the introduction of Gymkhana to DiRT 3 we’re pushing both the series and racing games forward,” said Ken Block. “I love doing the gymkhana videos, and it’s so great to work with Codemasters to give players that unique sensation of pushing a car to its limits while hooning about. With the video upload function, maybe I’ll get some competition from gamers!”

DiRT 3 is now in development at Codemasters Studios for a 2011 release for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
