Colin McRae: DiRT 2

I finally got my copy of DiRT2 which was released back in September 2009, and is the sequel to Colin McRae: Dirt. This is the first game in the McRae series since McRae's death in 2007. The game includes many new race-events, including stadium events. Along with the player, an RV travels from one event to another, and serves as 'headquarters' for the player. It features a roster of contemporary off-road events, taking players to diverse and challenging real-world environments. The game takes place across four continents: Asia, Europe, Africa and North America. The game includes five different event types: Rally, Rallycross, Trailblazer, Land Rush and Raid.

 

 

Graphics of this game is nice, specially the racing tracks. But everything off the track looks pretty much half done. Controlling the cars aren't as easy as most of the racing games we play. In highest difficulty mode it's merely impossible to win races. And, if you don't turn off your damage to visuals only, this game will make you frustrated very quick.

I've only played till I reached rank 5. Took me only 6 races to finish. Even if you finish last, you gain some points and cash. But winning the races give you highest points and cool unlocks like cars, tracks and toys.

There aren't too many stuff to download from their official site. But there are some nice contests going in there. Winners get a cool DiRT2 T-shirt. Give it a try if you have this game. Once I finish racing in all the tracks, I'll try to win few of those.

 

I will update this review once I finish the game.
