    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 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 DirtI don't particularly enjoy this game as much as I should.

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.… Expand

    Des progrès sensibles depuis le premier Dirt, notamment au niveau de la conduite encore très arcade mais qui est devenue moins désagréable et globalement un peu plus cohérente ; c'est la partie rallye (hélas réduite à la portion congrue) la plus réussie à cet égard.

On notera tout de même une vitesse excessive et peu réaliste dans l'ensemble des épreuves : on a trop souvent l'impression de se taper un Wipeout à roulettes, c'en est ridicule...

    C'est bien sûr la demande kikoolol qui veut ça et on sait que Codemasters les soigne particulièrement : la musique qui leur va (la pire soupe commerciale qu'on puisse trouver), les commentaires des pilotes qui sont d'une bêtise effarante (extraits des pires sitcoms qu'on puisse trouver) et présentation générale trololol avec des gros menus en grosses lettres en 3D (peu pratique mais trololol).

    Côté technique, Codemasters démontre son savoir-faire, ce n'est certes pas à 60 im/s (faut pas rêver) mais le jeu est magnifique en toute circonstance. Les bruitages et sons de moteurs ont aussi bénéficié d'un soin très attentif. Le mode carrière ma foi c'est du classique mais avec bien trop d'épreuves et de circuits recyclés jusqu'à la nausée, un remplissage qui ne dit pas son nom...

    Bref, un jeu de caisses pour les kikoos et qui passe décemment le temps pourvu qu'on débranche le cerveau avant chaque partie (risque de trauma cérébro-spinal...).    … Expand

    In all fairness the game played well in the extremely few rally stages (4 stages split into 2 very small stages) but 4 good stages don't make a game. if your into the arcade style of this game enjoy but if you want a good Colin McRae rally game go play Colin McRae 2005 or at a push DiRT 1. though its worth a rent cause i'll be done with it in one sitting. also there is a general In all fairness the game played well in the extremely few rally stages (4 stages split into 2 very small stages) but 4 good stages don't make a game. if your into the arcade style of this game enjoy but if you want a good Colin McRae rally game go play Colin McRae 2005 or at a push DiRT 1. though its worth a rent cause i'll be done with it in one sitting. also there is a general lack in vehicles and customisation and repair. and just to sum this up Colin McRea 2005 had 90 stages this game has 10 small ones… Expand

    Dirt 2 is prettier than its predecessor, has more varied tracks and a functional multiplayer offering. What it doesn’t have is a focus on pure time-trial rally races, which is really what I expect from a rally game.

    Even those who might sniff at the game’s focus on the extreme end of off-road motorsport will find it hard to scoff at its rewarding handling model, its sense of atmosphere and its sumptuous visuals, all of which help make it a highlight of the Colin McRae series.

    DiRT 2 achieves something that looked pretty difficult to accomplish, and manages to be even better than the first game. Colin McRae would be proud of it.
