    Like all of the Dirt games, this is technically very accomplished but the rally section is too unforgiving and the rally cross section involves racing every track six times in a row which soon becomes tiresome. Lacking the variety of the earlier incarnations of the franchise, Rally 2.0 is one of those racing games that favours "realism" way too far over "fun".

    This is one of those games that isn't beginner friendly, as there are many things which need to be learned in order to really master the car and to know how the car will react.

Here even the driving assists won't help you, you will probably still sometimes end crashing into the nearest tree or hidden rock if you don't fully understand your co-driver, which is probably the most detailed and human-like co-driver I've ever seen.
    This is not a licensed WRC title so don't expect the newest cars and liveries in it, nor the tracks are, the tracks aren't real, but they are pretty the same thing of what to expect from real tracks, the track design isn't really the most important thing as the surface and driving physics are, which is what Codemasters probably put the most effort in it, which can be seen from the first time you jump into a stage.
    While the WRC cars aren't licensed, the RallyCross cars and tracks are, both 2019 and 2020 season.
    Apart from those, there will be many historical and well-known cars like the Lancia Stratos, Subaru Impreza,... but there are some which aren't here, which in my opinion deserved the spot within the game, like the Citroen Saxo and Xsara, the Toyota Corolla and Celica and the Hyundai i20.
    Well, what about the Career Mode? Well, that's the thing in which Dirt Rally 2.0 falls as there isn't really a Career Mode, you complete Championships or Events (Daily, Weekly, Monthly and AI Challenges), you get money with which you buy new cars or mechanics, buy upgrades both for your crew and car, or you spend it on repairing cars, all with online connectivity only.

    All in all, I think this game is so far one of the best rally simulator, there are certain things which needs implementing, like a Career Mode similar to the WRC titles and more Weather and Time settings available for each track and stage.
    Well, if you are more like a casual rally player and if you don't have a steering wheel, I would most likely recommend you to stick to the WRC titles.    … Expand

    The only thing that this game is lacking is solid campaign or at least some other means for me to stay hooked for longer. Otherwise Dirt Rally 2.0 is amazing game, with grate maps, and the best riding physics that I have ever encounter. All driving games seems shallow after Dirt.

    Lol the user score underlines how dumb gamers are these days. They'll give unfinished "hard" games that get balanced post launch (ahem Elden Ring), or just never get finished, a 10/10, and give this game a 0, because they cant drive. Like wow.

    who in their right mind makes CAREER mode online only? you are only making piracy seem like a good idea and honestly, most of the time pirating a game is more consumer friendly, which is what I recommend you do for any codemasters game.

This is punishment at every corner, literally. Staying in the track is a feat on its own, and if you drive a RWD car that's closer to a prowess.

    In short: even long time racing adepts will have a hard time enjoying this (this is not taunting, you'll get frustrated, just believe me). Every other casual player STAY AWAY or waste your money. You have been warned. Professionals might give it a chance.    … Expand

    DR 2,0 in basic version is lacking content but GOTY is a great semi-sim game for rally lovers; good looking, with great thrilling sound, real-life special stages, great gravel and snow simulation, average tarmac simulation. My favoirute rally game but lacking content in basic version and tarmac feel are not enough for a full score. GOTY for me is 9/10 but basic version 7,5/10.

Codemasters has decided that the best way to guide players is not to reward good play but punish poor performance. You routinely spend more to repair your cars than you earn in events leading to a cash vortex where 6 figure vehicles sit unused because you can't afford to drive them. Likewise there is shockingly no tutorial or education content in the game so you are left to figure out all the complex mechanics out on your own, all the while loosing in game cash you need to repair said vehicle. And if that wasn’t enough the game is almost unplayable on a gamepad at anything over even modest speeds. A glaring deficiency for a game released on console...If you are an enthusiast with an expensive simulation set up, maybe there is fun to be had here, but for the average and even some hardcore gamers out there, there is only disappointment in one of the most inaccessible games I’ve ever had the misfortune of paying money for...… Expand

    One of best simulations out there. Driving is really difficult when it comes to high speed and difficult tracks. Car really work like Irl, for example if you use automatic transmission gears change when the rpm is maxed for car, and often do it a little late which when we add full gas our engine overheats really quickly.

    -First of all they removed all the good Dirt Rally 1.0 tracks including (Finland,Sweden,Acropolis and PIKES PEAK)
    Seriously Pikes Peak? Why to do that!
    -They changed the graphics, the lightning is a lot better but in overall they look really blurry now, especially the textures...
    -Some serious stutters from time to time, still playable but it is annoying...
    -The voice of Co-Driver sounds really "fake"
    -You have to be Online to play the career and it always uploads your stats to Race Net..
    -The force feedback on steering wheels feels weird and softer...
    -Ford Mustang and Aston Martin on a rally game? Are they serious? we need more Group A&B cars not SCI-FI cars...
    -I thought the handlings were close to RBR, but no they are not! Even Dirt Rally 1.0 felt more realistic in driving than that which is a 2015 game...

    Conclusion:
    If you own Dirt Rally 1.0 there is no need to buy this because this one feels like an improved version of Dirt 4...
    I hope we get some proper updates and more content in the near future...    … Expand

    I'm a huge fan of Dirt series and I've been playing since DIrt 1. But Rally series of Dirt are unplayable, literally unplayable!
    Graphics are nothing special, the gameplay is the worst in the whole driving history!
    I'm giving last chance to Dirt 5, and if they don't bring series back like it was in Dirt 1-2-3, I quit from this game forever probably.

    Dirt Rally 2.0 has critical flaws. Firstly there is no rally school which makes this game COMPLETELY INACCESSIBLE to new players who have no sim racing or rally racing experience. This game is ONLY for seasoned rally sim racers. Second is how the car behaves in collisions with objects. If you hit even a small sign on the side of the road your car is severely impacted.

This game is ONLY for seasoned rally sim racers. Second is how the car behaves in collisions with objects. If you hit even a small sign on the side of the road your car is severely impacted. Also in rally modes, any contact with the side of a rock face or other barrier on the side of the course sends your car flying as if you hit a giant spring. I grazed the side once at low speed and my car was sent flying across the road and into a tree. Next, you need to have a constant internet connection even for the single-player which makes absolutely zero sense. Finally, half of the content is paid DLC, so you cannot participate in half of the online events if you don't pay. Dirt rally is not worth playing even if you get the game for free, so save you time and don't get this game.… Expand
