    I really enjoyed playing Dirt 2. It breaks my heart really to give it a low overall score, but you just can't expect people to pay high prices for very little content. In these hard economic times value for money is as important as gameplay.

The cars handle suburb and the soundtrack is excellent. The voice acting gets a little grating at the start of the game but you'll quickly soon to love Ken Block and Travis Pastrana talking to you. Though Dirt 3 is out at the moment, this is still an excellent rally game and an Incredible racing game.… Full Review »

    I don't particularly enjoy this game as much as I should. It is absolutely nothing nothing at all like it's predecessor. Dirt 2 completelyI don't particularly enjoy this game as much as I should. It is absolutely nothing nothing at all like it's predecessor. Dirt 2 completely ignored the fact that the rally racing is what Dirt the game it was. Dirt 2 has very few rally racing maps, you hardly even touch them in the any part in the game. Some of the newer game modes such as Gate Crasher are complete rubbish. The music in Dirt 2 is god awful, enough said. The majority of the racing events tend to be in SUV's and those silly Buggies, you have no freedom in picking any different kind of car you prefer. The Americanized maps and x-games themed single player is dull and wasteful, rally racing originated in Europe, not in Baja California or Japan! Despite the sad flaws there are some enjoyments you can find in Dirt 2. They have a decent selection of cars for each type of event, you can change the color to any kind of preset color you can earn throughout the game, and no, you cannot choose your own. The menu's interface is beyond awesome, really neat. The multiplayer is good, not great, everything is randomized, even your car.. If you enjoyed Dirt for what Dirt was don't buy Dirt 2.… Full Review »
