Hopefully this will be remedied for next year’s officially licensed Formula One title, also based around the same EGO engine. It’s a disappointment not to see any weather effects though, especially as this was one feature that both the original Dirt and last year’s GRID sorely lacked. The game’s physics haven’t come on a great deal since GRID, but that’s no bad thing, with cars flipping, rolling and spectacularly flying through the air following those unplanned meetings with road side rocks or pesky fence posts. Both cars and track sides are lavishly detailed, and there are dozens of gorgeous touches, from the spattering mud in jungle stages, to the jaw dropping water effects from the drivers-cam when you hit a water hazard.Ĭars are all lavishly recreated both inside and out and we frequently found ourselves watching full race replays to marvel at the beauty of that perfect U turn, or, far more often, a spectacular crash. DiRT Rally 2.0 dares you to carve your way through a selection of iconic rally locations from Argentina to New Zealand, in some of the most iconic off-road vehicles ever made, knowing that the smallest mistake could end your stage. Experience a star-studded Career mode, four-player split-screen, the Playgrounds arena creator mode and much more 120fps option. Grid, arguably, has become one of the most popular circuit racers, whilst Colin McRae DiRT took. And two theyve shown us they really know how to craft a decent racing title. One they have a penchant for irregular upper case letting. Conquer stunning global routes and drive an iconic roster of cars. With recent racers GRID and DiRT, Codemasters have managed to show us two things. GraphicsWhile Dirt 2’s shift away from “pure” rallying to a more contemporary styling will likely divide players, there’s no arguing that the game itself looks simply stunning, improving upon GRID’s EGO engine to make Dirt 2 one of the best looking racers we’ve ever seen. DIRT 5 is the bold new off-road arcade racing experience created by Codemasters.
