Very different than Metal Gear Solid 4. Time to go fast without someone shooting at you.

Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is a racing game developed and published by Codemasters. It builds upon the Colin McRae franchise by including better visuals as well as enhanced gameplay. When the game is first launched we have to create a profile for the game and select a commentary name. After that we can select the difficulty setting and other options before starting a race.

In DiRT 2, we have got a caravan that we take around the world to take part in several different rallying tournaments. As we win races and reach higher levels, more cars as well as tournaments get unlocked for us to compete in. There are several types of races in the game. These include Rallycross, Rally, Trailblazer, and Domination among others. Vehicles can either be rally cars, SUVs or ATVs. A novel addition in DiRT 2 is the flashback feature. Through it you can rewind the game ten seconds during a race and then continue from the previous point. This is very useful if you suffer a crash and your car gets damaged you can rewind the game and then avoid the crash on the second try.

The graphics of the game are superb. Effects such as sunlight and foliage are very realistic and the trail that cars leave behind is also very realistic. The most amazing view in the game is the cockpit view. It is highly realistic with all the onboard dials working perfectly. Whenever a crash or bump occurs, the camera also moves ahead or backward mimicking the g-forces that the driver faces. It also realistically shows you the view through the windshield and if it gets cracked your visibility is affected.

The car physics of the game are unparalleled. Cars slide around very realistically in a muddy environment but as soon as tarmac approaches the grip improves tremendously. Also, when you go into a puddle the car realistically starts aquaplaning until the water leaves the tires. Driving in gravel causes the ride to become very hard and this effect is best noticed in the cockpit view. The only things that I felt missing in the game were track and weather deteriorations. Besides that the game is nothing short of spectacular. The damage is also highly realistic and can even be turned off. The game is available for Xbox 360, PSP, Wii, Windows and PlayStation 3. The game is compatible with several PlayStation 3 Accessories like racing wheels as well as accessories for other consoles as well.
