    I've really enjoyed every minute I've spent with Dirt Rally 2.0, just as I did with 1.0 before it. The handling is gorgeous, the routes are truly beautiful to look at, and the management is ...manageable. The cars all have tons of individual character, the rallycross feels scrappy and frenetic and everything just comes together wonderfully. Codemasters, eh? They really have the hang of this thing.

    DiRT Rally 2.0 does nothing but improve the reputation of the purest, modern rally series out there.

    Codemasters has succeeded in perfecting an already spectacular driving model, making it more reactive and enjoyable, launching DiRT Rally 2.0 towards the throne of the best rally game ever. Launching, at day one, without events on the snow, the title is missing a fundamental piece. Apart from that, this is now the most refined rally simulator on the market.

    DiRT Rally 2.0 far surpasses other rally titles and other games that feature, though don't specialise in rallying. With an extensively detailed roster of cars, where each of them feels, handles and reacts differently, on tracks that actively degrade through constant use, changing the lines you'll have to take, this is a game that will keep you thinking. Best of all, unlike its prequel (to an extent) and other racing sims, it's accessible thanks to a bevy of assists that you can change to suit your needs. A game that only features a few downsides, the primary one being a shallow career mode and some minor bugs here and there. All things considered, DiRT Rally 2.0 is the premier rally experience you could hope to have.

    It could be improved in terms of content, but no other rally sim gives you driving physics as sophisticated, challenging and simply great as Dirt Rally 2.0!

    DiRT Rally 2.0 brings some great and challenging driving feelings in spite of a too clasic career mode and a graphics engine that sometimes feels a bit old.

    With excellent vehicle handling, DiRT Rally 2.0 finds itself in a strong position. It also has superb visuals and brutal simulation aspects. Apart from AI issues and track repetition, it should please most rally fans.

    Giving it a 9 because I got the GOTY edition for £12, and using a G29 wheel, this is the most immersively fun gaming experience I've ever had.Giving it a 9 because I got the GOTY edition for £12, and using a G29 wheel, this is the most immersively fun gaming experience I've ever had. Locations, cars, graphics and physics are all superb. I mean, the graphics have some lighting issues, and apparently RBR had better physics, but I can't give it less than a 9 when I have had as much fun as I have. Career mode is very enjoyable, as are the online community events. Expand

    Let me start with the fact that I have 200 hours in Dirt Rally 1. So now I can tell you that this game isn't worth its money. Took it only dueLet me start with the fact that I have 200 hours in Dirt Rally 1. So now I can tell you that this game isn't worth its money. Took it only due to the fact that I have Steering system from Logitech, so I wanted to give it a try. My piece of advice is don't try to play it on steering wheel, it's not compatible with it. despite the fact that I set the controls by hand, it didn't work in a right way.
    Graphics 7/10 for 2019, just take a look at Horizon or Project CARS.
    Controls 6/10, Awful for Steering system, OK for keyboard
    Audio 8/10. Sounds can change depending on the weather, road or grass. Condition of your car, engine, etc. can also change the sound of car.
    Feel and feedback from game 3/10, even with vibrating steering system and VR goggles there's no feeling that you're in the game.
    Price 2/10, not worth it
    Conclusion:
    Game was made only in order to get profit, not to bring in new feelings or technologies.

    Decent game let down by bizarre micro transactions and always online drm which means that your initial purchase only really buys you half theDecent game let down by bizarre micro transactions and always online drm which means that your initial purchase only really buys you half the game. Better to wait until the full game, probably called game of the year, is released. The developers should take note from recent successful and profitable games like 'the Outer worlds' that give the full game on purchase. . Expand

    -Very very very very bad physics model, you flip and roll the car constantly with tiny bumps and against things like cones and hay bales. If-Very very very very bad physics model, you flip and roll the car constantly with tiny bumps and against things like cones and hay bales. If not that you spin.
    -Game is just a carbon copy and paste of Dirt Rally 1.0, they turned off the ability to buy Dirt Rally 1.0 to make it seem like this is a brand new game
    -They are going to do the same with Dirt Rally 3 or whatever the new one is. This game is DRM always on. So one day they are just going to turn it off to make you buy the new one, which won't even have much work put into it.
    -Game insists on trying to "train" you by sticking you in some 1960s Italian piece of ---- car. Why are rally games so obsessed with always pretending like this is your first rally game?
    -Game is incomplete by design and they tease you with cars that are only available in paid for DLC

    Glad I only paid $5 for this when it was on sale. Do not buy.
