The best race car game on the market in 2009. Well made from beginning to end. July 23, 2010 imgreenlantern2 (Montana) I have been playing race car games my entire life, and Dirt 2 is the best one I have ever played bar none. What was the best game I had played prior to this one? Dirt . Codemasters have done something really special and that is make a game that looks beautiful, run fantastic, has great easy to use menus, and and simulates real driving. You don't have to deal with building your engine, making the tires better, or any of that tedious crap that is in the Gran Turismo and Forza series. You just race and have a blast.
The tracks are gorgeous and non repetitive. You just can't ask for more in a racer, and at 60 fps solid all the time this is the best game for racing.
Amazingly fun game June 1, 2010 Andre B. First of all, if you're already an specialist in racing games, skip this review. This is being written from a beginner's perspective, and is destined to causal players, like me.
Alright, I've never been a fan of racing games. Somehow, they never grabbed my interest. I had played the Burnout series with my friends, and they are actually very fun in my opinion, but I never felt like actually buying a game. So I'm very new to the genre.
For what my opinion's worth, though, I think Dirt 2 is an AMAZING game. It's just incredibly fun and fast-paced, and the races feel very arcade-like. The graphics are incredible, but what I really enjoyed was the scenery. Specially the races in Croatia are set in such beautiful landscapes that sometimes I even distract myself from the race.
I had played the demo beforehand, which includes one Baja and one Morocco race. They are cool, but there are other stages that are much more impressive. The opponents are smart and they talk to you during the race. They even call you by your name! It's details like these that makes the difference, and Dirt 2 has many such touches. Once I was surprised that I took a certain path during a race and found myself having to dodge a tree! Everything seems to have been calculated in order to deliver the maximum level of fun possible.
Dirt 2 is a beautiful, fast-paced game, and is pure, good, raw entertainment, in my point of view. This is coming from a person who doesn't normally enjoy racing games, but this game got me hooked! Highly recommended!
Go get it Dirty! April 2, 2010 Keogh (Denver) I love racing games but after playing a bunch of NFS, Forza and PGR knew that there was no way for me to get to the next level without upgrading to the wheel/pedal/shifter setup. Unfortunately, there is just not enough finesse to the driving when you are forced to drive at 100+ mph with an unpredictable, white knuckled, slippery left thumb; but, in addition to Guitar Hero gear, I don't have room for all of that crap nor do I have an appropriate table (or special racing chair) to attach the wheel to?! The beauty of Dirt2 (and Dirt) is that your driving is more about zen/jedi minor correction driving than it is about perfect control. You will be using, light feathering on the gas to keep your speed up and control-wise you are working to line up jumps, start a drift and hand brake around loose hairpins. The rest of it is pure adrenalin and rebel yells. I recommend this game to anybody who loves Rally (too bad it isn't more publicised in the US) and to anyone who wants to fully enjoy the XBOX racing experience without the need for a seperate racing rig in the middle of your living room (or lap).
great game March 10, 2010 R. Saindon This game is alot of fun to play, great physic & graphics.
Plays good with normal controller but recommend using a
steering wheel, it really adds to the gameplay.
Dirt 2 February 11, 2010 Dennis G. Jason (Baytown, Texas) All I can say is WOW. Great race experience. This is the closest to dirt track racing of any game I have played. The experience is vaulted to a new plateau when combined with the Microsoft steering wheel. I actually raced dirt track for many years and this helps with those yearnings to go back (too old now).
