Actually, their website says that the mouse functions don't work while the thing's opened up as a gamepad, so I guess you wouldn't have to worry about that at all!

If it was wireless, I'd be in heaven right now... it looks perfect for some NES or even a little SNES if you can live with those 5 and 6 buttons as your L and R. Make a wireless one, and I'll be first in line.

I like DiRT, but it definitely feels different from the rest of the Colin McRae series, which is why I suppose they changed the name. I only have one complaint, though, and I hope Codemasters hears me very loud and clear on this... THE PACENOTES ARE RUBBISH! Compared to Colin McRae 05, the co-driver is just terrible, and being a fan of the actual sport, I have seen just how important it is to have a competent co-driver, and "Mr. Smooth", as he calls himself, is the worst co-driver in any rally game... seriously, I'd rather have the vague "easy right maybe" from Sega Rally than this chump. Please, Codemasters, bring back Nicky Grist next time!

...and it says they're listening to tatu's new album... yay!
