Description

As the sequel to the acclaimed racer of 2007, DiRT 2 is set to take off-road racing games to a new level, with benchmark tech, thrilling new race types, big event atmosphere, stunning locations, a new breed of off-roading heroes and a peerless line-up of super-charged speed machines.

Promising a thrilling race experience and an extreme sports attitude that borrows from snowboarding and skateboarding culture, DiRT 2 will take players on a World Tour to diverse and challenging real-world environments to compete in contemporary off-road events. Specifically selected to deliver aggressive and fast paced racing, DiRT 2’s garage will house a best-in-class collection of officially licensed rally cars and off-road vehicles; covering seven vehicle classes and players will be given the keys to powerful machines right from the off.

DiRT 2 will come complete with full online functionality that will be core to the overall experience, with head-to-head competitive online play and new social features to engage the racing community. Prepare for mud, gravel, dust and dirt too in DiRT 2.

Features:
  • Turbo-charged off-roading with extreme sports attitude: Multiple disciplines, encompassing the very best that modern off-roading has to offer and fuelled by the 3rd generation of Codemasters’ world-renowned EGO™ Engine technology, DiRT 2 has more attitude, more adrenaline and more DiRT than ever – off-roading just got cool.
  • Take it on Tour: DiRT 2 will take players on a World Tour to compete in aggressive multi-car and intense solo race events in the most diverse and challenging real-world environments. Career paths will span the globe as players unlock tours in stunning locations spread across the face of the planet. USA, Japan, Malaysia, Baja, Croatia and others await as players climb to the pinnacle of modern competitive off-roading.
  • It’s all about the event: DiRT2 is adrenaline-fuelled extreme sports with eye-popping visuals and presentation in stunning real-world locations. Events include exhilarating rally cross in the massive Los Angeles sports stadium’s “Stadium King Shootout”, edge-of-control canyon racing of Utah’s “Creek Trailblazer” event, the “Rawang Rally Run” along treacherous Malaysian rainforest tracks and the “Battersea Battle”, where night races are staged at the iconic London power station.
  • Love your ride: Embark on a game-long love affair with your favourite cars. Rather than being forced through a checklist of in-game cars, DiRT2 enables players to pick their favourite rides and drive them across multiple disciplines. Upgrade them, cherish them - and then smash them to bits at breakneck speeds. Get to know which to use for what event and surface, tweak them to perfection, then push them to the absolute limit.
  • The complete off-road online package: DiRT 2 invites players to become part of an extreme sports community, with full online multiplayer race events and community integration across multiple disciplines. With leader boards, news feeds and ‘scribbles’ to keep you up-to-date on your friends’ racing achievements, DiRT 2 will be a social hub for off-roading fans.

Review by Daniel on 12th November, 2009
"Pure Brilliance!"
This game has brilliant graphics and gameplay modes!
Tones of races and cars! This is an extremely enjoyable game. Even it is not only rally car racing there is still hours gameplay.. (even though it doesn't state that it is rally only, it is just cars that race on dirt).
You got love the mud splatter to! Thoroughly enjoyed this!
I recommend all play!

Review by phil on 18th September, 2009
"beautifully presented, great driving mechanism. "
Without doubt the best looking racer out there. The driving mechanics are brilliant, much less floaty than the previous version, now you really feel like you're in a heavy car and the crashes hurt. With a force feedback wheel this game comes alive as it tries to wrench the wheel from your hands every time you hit a rock.
Some people will no doubt miss the more purist rallying, but that's not to say it's not there, there's just a lot of other disciplines thrown in to the mix as well.
Great game that I expect to be playing for a long time to come, especially with it's excellent online options.

Review by Jeremey on 11th May, 2010
"Good game, but there are not alot of things you can do except ra"
If you want a game where you can do your cars up then this is not for you but if you just like getting in and racing then you will probably like this.

"Colin would be ashamed"
Have had a play of this, and was sorely disappointed. I was a big fan of DiRT; it was enough of an arcade racer to pick up and play comfortably but didn't stray too far from it's WRC roots. The same does NOT apply for this bastardisation of the genre. Colin's name should not be attached to this 'Made for the USA' junk. Worst part of it is the new corner grading being limited to Easy/Medium/Hard. Am so gutted it turned out this way, and hope another developer fills the gap left by this series.
On the other hand, if you into the over-the-top kind of racing found in things like NFS Underground or the Burnout series then this might be your cup of tea.

"Where Is The Rally?"
I was about 5 min away from pre ordering Dirt 2 until i looked at the game modes. Well, if you enjoy a good offroad simulation game this definately isnt for you. It has a very small amount of cars and very little tracks, but very impressive graphics. All in all this game seems very American and will destroy the colin Mcrae game Franchise however if your not a big fan of rallying and just enjoy racing stuff offroad then it is worth the $99. On the other hand if you have loved all of the other Colin Mcrae Rally games you will be severly dissapointed if you buy this
