Frugal Gamer review Thu, 17 Dec 2009

Exploring the various disciplines of off-road racing, Colin McRae Dirt 2 for the PC is the ultimate racing game for those you love their adrenaline-filled extreme off-road events. Taking place in stunning real world locations and including some exhilarating racing events, Dirt 2 redefines the racing for modern PCs. Taking full advantage of the new DirectX 11 feature set, this is a game that will show off the latest hardware and provide a cutting-edge visual experience unlike any other.

Colin McRae's Dirt 2 isn't anything like the traditional rally racing game some of us have grown up with and loved. The original Dirt was already showing signs of fantasy with its V8 uphill truck races and paint-stripping, car-bashing events that resembled Flatout: Ultimate Carnage more than a true simulation. Dirt 2 goes full-on with the fantastical world the original started and gives you a gasp-inducing racing experience that all fans of off-road racing really want it to be.
