   Picked this up at a 2 for 40 sale and loved every minute of it, while it's presence has changed since the first game, it still shows class and presteige and pays tribute Colin McRae themselves. 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.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dirt 2 is a beautifully crafted, high adrenaline pseudo-sim blast that can last for quite some time. Loved the soundtrack and the beautiful environments, and the cars look and feel great. The best part of this game though, is the incredible send-off to Colin Mcrae that it dedicates itself to. The final video as well as the unlockable special Mcrae series are awesome. There were a few downsides. One is that some of the race modes suck (gate crasher especially) and the game can get very repetative once you get deep. Also, where's the hour long (or more) multistage endurance race?… Expand

   I'm not too sure about this game going all out american. I am a great fan of rally racing which to be fair you don't get to do a lot in this game. Truck and buggy races don't have the same appeal as a technical uphill rally race for instance. Overall I think it's a decent game, but I'd like to have more rally racing return in the next installment. After all, that's what Colin McRae is known for and as long as his name is attached to it it should be about that.… Expand

   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 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
