Impressions: Dirt 2


It sucks. It really does. Despite the rally cars on the boxart, there isn't alot of rallying in this game. There is alot of Rally cross, offroad trucks and simular X-TREME styles of racing, but it isn't the rally game that I wanted.

This game is nothing like the good old Colin McRae Rally games, which focussed on the World Rally Championship: Point-to-point rallying. Dirt 2 tries to take everything to the X-TREME, to americanise the sport, even though americans generally don't give a shit about rally's. Dirt 2 has taken 90% out of what I used to love about those games. I don't care about former Moto-cross stars and X-games bullshit, I just want rally.

Not to completely shit on this game, when there IS rally, it is alot of fun. The graphics are nice and slick, with fun handling and atmosphere. If you're into this X-TREME form of off-roading, this is the game for you. I couldn't last more than two hours of playing Dirt 2.

Dirt 2 is about as X-TREME as shoving a can of Mountain Dew up your arse. Wait, that would be pretty X-TREME... Playing Dirt 2 is probably as painful as shoving a can of Mountain Dew up your arse.
