So I picked up my pre-order of Dirt 2 yesterday and have had the chance to sit down and play it for a good several hours.Its different than the first to some degree,from the presentation,handling and even events.Less rally,more mixed modern xgames stuff,so if your expecting a Colin McRae straight up rally game those days are over,but then again most of gaming is over imho.Anyway,its fun,the first game to have me actually listen to the game though I still throw on my own music cuase their hyped great modern soundtrack sucks gorilla testicles.
But the game itself is fun,gorgeous at times and adopts some elements of Grid like the simple approach to cars and the replay feature(being able to rewind before a crash and play from there).A noticable thing though is,while granted I'm pretty good at racing games,I'm pretty far along in the career,and with a decent online mode,its pretty apparent they focused more on this than the singleplayer.I'd rate it a 3/5.Not the best game ever nor one that people should buy,but if your a racing fan and want a quick diversion inbetween Gran Turismo and Forza,its a fun choice.
I'm looking forward to Uncharted 2 and Ratchet & Clank Future:ACiT next month!ZOMGzorz!!11!Been playing old Might & Magic games and Heroes.
