  • Summary: The faint of heart need not enter the races of Dakar 2, a rally racing game that draws upon your skills, strength, mental agility, and sheer determination. It's a test of endurance as you race through town stages in France, Spain, Morocco, and other landscapes. In some levels, you'll only have a GPS navigational setup to guide you in a race across the open desert. Dakar 2 puts you in control of monster trucks, hard-driving cars, and quick motorcycles.

  1. An approachable arcade-style take on one of the world's most grueling rally races--and a significant improvement on its predecessor.
  2. Unfortunately hampered by some annoying glitches and imperfections, the whole experience does remain fairly enjoyable while it lasts, but also leaves a decidedly bitter aftertaste.

    Fun for a couple of days, but gets boring and unchallenging very quickly. Definetly a rental at best.

    It took me 4 hours to get through the entire series of races at normal dificulty and 5.5 hours on hard. After that I was very dissapointed to find out that your campaign just ends rather than continuing into another series of races with more unlocked vehicles to choose from. This game has no depth at all. If your looking for a good raceing game with vehicle modifications or new vehicle purchases through points or money earnings then look somewhere else. By the way, the motorcycle portion is pathetic. Expand
