My favorite Dirt and rally game.Fantastic driving and handling controls,very replayable,story is simple but effective,it's a tribute to Colin Mcrae,a rally driver that died in helicopter crash back in 2007,and you have to fill in the shoes when you are given his Subaru Impreza.Even if you don't know who the guy is by the end of the game you will.Because all the things you do in a game roll over and continue,crash and continue etc,he did as well,great parallel when you think about it.Maps and circuits were all fun in their own way,this one also has voice acting where other drivers react to things you do,shame this is the only Dirt game that has that feature.There are plenty of active drivers at that time like Travis Pastrana,Ken Block,Dave Mirra etc.Loved the presentation and atmosphere,cars choices were so damn good.You go around the world,win races,you can get boss races as well,it was fun for most part.At the end of the season,you get the option to compete in XGames tournament,it was dope.You unlock cars by earning money,there are plenty of races like rally,crossrallies,trailblazer,driving jeeps and a lot of other things.Graphics are huge improvment from first one as well.Biggest highlight for me was music.Holy shit,Dirt 2 probably has one of the best soundtracks in history of gaming,so many memorable tracks that plays during races or outside of races.Injection from Rise Against is my favorite,can't lose a race when listening to it.Amazing game,I would recommend it to anyone

Incredibly it's even better than 1, which is pretty good on its own.

DONT TRUST ON STASH RATING. THIS GAME DESERVES 8.3+!

"Hi! I'm Ken Block! And this is Colin McRae: Dirt 2"

I have played Dirt 1 almost 2 years ago, it had made memories for me, tirat Pyramid Career System. But this Dirt 2 is more intense-ful. More content, more cars, and almost everything new. One of the main thing makes this game unique from its franchise is voices and liveries of real players, which is literally awesome.

And finally when it's time to give tribute for Colin McRae, that was a bit senty for me.

After all, more worth than DIRT 1!

Gameplay: 10/10
Excellent Gameplay, crew messages, better hud

Car Garage: 7/10
More cars, yet same structure as Dirt 1, but this got older as per the year of release

Graphics: 7/10
A minor improvement from Dirt 1, which is again low competitive as per the year of release

Career Length: 8/10
Career was really really lengthy and exciting, but it wasn't well structured.
