However, be under no illusions that Dirt 2 is a simulation this is a casual affair that mixes the crashes and slow-motion from Burnout with the mobile phone chats from Grand Theft Auto. You can choose how involved you get with the car’s setup (or not at all), and whether the car’s in-race damage is purely cosmetic or actually affects the car’s handling. You get to drive around 35 or more diverse vehicles and when it comes to on-track action, Dirt 2 is simply fantastic. You make an auspicious start by being handed the keys to the late McRae’s No Fear Subaru Impreza, and you jump straight into racing at London’s disused Battersea power station.
Of course, proper rally stages are kept in the mix for good measure.Īs with Codemasters’ previous games, such as Race Driver: Grid, you play the part of the aspiring racer, with cheery cut-scenes throughout the proceedings to link the races.

The Colin McRae Rally series spans over a decade, but Dirt 2 – just as with Dirt in 2007 – veers away from pure rallying and heads out into the wilds of extreme off-road racing, including rally cross (circuit racing with a mixture of tarmac and gravel), point-to-point landrush events, ‘throwdown’ challenges against one other driver, last-man-standing races and gatecrasher, where you drive through barriers against the clock. It was almost exactly two years ago that rally driving champion Colin McRae was killed in a helicopter crash, but despite his untimely death, his name lives on in Dirt 2, Codemasters’ latest off-road racer.
