Well after playing the original Dirt game for over a year and loving every minute, I could not wait for this game to come out. That said I did wait a couple of weeks for the prices to drop a bit. I got it and was really excited to see what it was like. I started it up and liked the way it was set out in a interesting walk through menu so to speak. You start out as a rookie driver and have a little money and you buy your first car and do a few races to earn money and xp. Xp adds up to rank you as a better driver with more experience which is the same as the original which is good. As you get better and earn more money you can buy better cars which helps your chances ...  Read the complete review

Colin McRae Dirt 2 is the sequel to the original Dirt game which let me tell you it was a good rally games but at the same time it wasn't the best in the series because it had minor issues like frame rate problems, long load times, and there was no proper multiplayer really let the game down. Well what I can say about Dirt 2 it has sorted out the issues that the original game had and also at the same time added new features to the series. One of the reasons I like Dirt 2 is that you can live the life of a sports star; I like how the menu takes place within a virtual RV, through this you can pick when your next race is going to be, and you can also ...  Read the complete review

This game is great fun, with good graphics and a lasting appeal. However, you can't help to feel like it has been ruined a bit, with an 'Americanised' feel, taking away the hardcore racing appeal of the first game. This affects everything from the handling, to the gameplay experience. The game case is very nice, with a jazzy design. The disc also seems to come out very well, not in too tight, creating problems seen with FIFA 09. The menus are easy to navigate, easy to read and quick. There is plenty of options for everyone. The modes are very good, with lots of appeal. Wether it's for a short blast with the quick races, offering lots of ...  Read the complete review

Dirt. It is a pretty basic title, and a pretty basic driving game. When I first slotted it in to my PS3 I was initially impressed with the look of the game. Think of the 'X Games' and then imagine the layout to be in that grungey style. I went into a few quick races just to get the hang but all I did was drive into walls, career off into all directions and defiantly did not finish in the top 5. I thought to myself, this is the worst driving experience I have ever had on a console. It was shocking. But then something quite remarkable happened. After about an hour of racing around tracks, getting lost and not knowing what direction to go and often going around ...  Read the complete review

This is a game which has taken up more of my time than I originally thought it would. Compared to the old Colin McRae games this is a far less serious style of racing, with loads of collisions and at the start of a race how you get through all the bumps and shunts will often dictate how the rest of the course is driven. But being less of a simulation and more of an arcade racer isn't necessarily a bad thing. By starting with basic cars and having to earn you way to the better, faster vehicles you're encouraged to learn about how each one handles on the various surfaces and this stands you in good stead for the later races where the competition gets a bit more ...  Read the complete review
