    to tell you the truth, i understand what andy is saying. this game sucks big time. it is boring, no music in driving, the environment is doll, and look like PS1 or what the hell. there is no real action in this game, and not only that, why the cats look like "my 5th years old son can draw better cars"

    Pretty good for a Wii driving game.

    How come nobody cares about decent games on the Wii? This comes from a respected studio like Sumo with the backing and source of another great company like Codemaster and yet it looks worse than Colin Mcrae 3 on my old Xbox 1. The game has no options to use any other controle settings other than motion controles which are inacurate and slugish.

The game has no options to use any other controle settings other than motion controles which are inacurate and slugish. I could of looked past the graphical downgrade and viewed this as a passable rally game simply due to the lack of competition if there was something like gamecube or classic controller support but the devs have made sure you cant even extract a little fun from this shambles of a game. The whole thing stinks of simply taking the textures and models of the 360 version and downgrading them so far as to make it look like your viewing the whole thing in N64'O'Vision. I would say save your cash and just go buy the devs a few beers to drown there sorrows in.… Expand

    Andy has no idea what he's talking about. Clearly he's never played the game. It allows you to use motion controls, or the nunchuck plus wiimote, or the classic controller, or the Wii wheel, or the logitech wheel. It's right in the manual. Why do people post lies about games?

    This game is simply poor. Poor presentation and overall look and feel (seems like they released in the middle of the development process), graphics in-game are average, with some huge slowdown in some tracks, and of course 4 cars only are a bit of a let down.

    Stop lying bozo. This game's nothing like you describe. The levels, textures and cars are completely different as opposed to just downgraded versions. Get your eyes checked. It's no great game, but it doesn't look like an N64 game unless all you go by is the very first trailer which was of very low quality. Go at least watch some gameplay videos, it's very close to Stop lying bozo. This game's nothing like you describe.

Go at least watch some gameplay videos, it's very close to Xbox quality, though not the finest the Xbox ever did, but certainly up there and nothing like an N64 game. The main bummer is they should have delayed it more to add more features than try to release it at the same date as the other versions and end up ditching many options due to the smaller development time. Maybe the sequel will fare better. I'm only giving a 10 to counter your ridiculous score and accusations. Bozo.… Expand

    I think this game looks terrible.. I mean the wii has more power than the game shows.. it like it is a lack of interest from the developers, cause you check other driving games at least have reflections, dirt has really poor graphics.. even need for speed carbon looks better, if wii has more power than a ps2 at least it should look like gran turismo, I mean just check dirt2 on ps3.. dirt2I think this game looks terrible..

    Well, it's not bad as most of racing games on the system, but it's hilariously unsatisfying experience.

    For as much potential as the Wii version had, Dirt 2 just ends up being a letdown, especially when the package boils down to being a port/crossover of the PSP offering that Sony fans are getting.

    This is far from a great title. It won't top end-of-the year lists, and it won't become a cult classic. The graphics and sound are too threadbare, the first half of the game too easy, and lack of online support and realistic damage too disappointing.

    It just doesn't have the required spark. Disappointing. [Nov 2009, p.66]
