The close, bumpy cockpit views are exceptional and, especially if using a racing wheel, place you right in the center of the action. The cars, the environment, the dust and dirt, the water, everything looks about as real as you're going to see it this generation.

Using Codemasters' Ego engine formerly seen in Grid, but polished and buffed out a bit, stunning is the only word to describe it. The graphics in DiRT 2 are quite exceptional. The standard staggered-start rally is still available, but races such as Gate Crasher which involves driving through foam gates, rally cross that mixes on and off road portions, split track races, and one on one racing keeps the pace from getting old too fast. The event types also provide quite a bit of variety. Multiple countries available provide different track types, from Baja's rocky terrain, Morocco's dustbowl desert tracks, and Croatia's windy mountain path, to London and Japan's urban terrain with more 120 degree turns than I'd care to think about, there's quite a bit of variety available here. The tracks also receive the variety treatment. Instead you get a mixture of venues allowing different vehicles, from the standard squatty rally cars, to beefed up pickup trucks, and high suspension buggies. You won't find a shiny red BMW with wrap-around headlights here.
Dirt 2 pc vs xbox 360 registration#
From the race selection and special "stuff" collection in your trailer, to the registration table outside, and the splashy "road trip" visuals during loading, it gets you in the groove for an extreme sports experience.ĭiRT 2 stands out from the crowded pack of racing games in that it presents an entirely different type of racing. Some will be turned off by the punk and nu-metal music and the colorful in-your-face X theme of the main menu screens and stats screens, but the presentation as a whole is blissfully wonderful and wholly immersive. Following a similar path to Ubisofts Shaun White snowboarding game, there's a West coast counter-culture vibe applied to the game, no doubt attached to the presence of Block, that really works well. One of the most noticeable differences in the new rendition is its X-Games inspired presentation. While McRae may not be around for this edition, Ken Block, Dave Mirra, and others have jumped in to fill the void, lending their voice to the game, as well as creative input.
Dirt 2 pc vs xbox 360 series#
DiRT 2, being the first game in the series following McRae's death in a helicopter crash does not directly feature McRae's input or talent, though his legacy lives on in the game, and your starting car is McRae's Subaru Impreza - repainted, of course. He also brought the sport into the gaming world with the original Colin McRae Rally games. The late, great Colin McRae made the little known off-road and rally racing sports a household name.
