---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Good : Solid Driving, great graphics, very forgiving, great damage model.
The Bad : To few Cars, to few tracks, not much of improvement from previous game "Grid"

Colin McRae : Dirt 2 is an off road driving sim racing game. The graphics in the game is exactly the same from the previous game from Codemaster "Grid". The Different is "Dirt 2" you will be driving in dirt, meanwhile "Grid" use to be in Tarmac. The two driving mechanics are quite different from each other, in Dirt 2 you have to think how to power slide in to corner, while in "Grid" we have to learn how stick you car to the tarmac as much as possible.

"Flash Back Mode"
How many time you guys out there who play a racing game, doing every corner perfectly only mess it up at the last corner and lost the race? Dirt 2 eliminate this frustration by giving you the "Flash Back Mode". So when you made a mistake in your race, you just simply use this mode to Flash back couple of seconds and start over. When you reach that corner for the second time, you can slow your car down and drive it more carefully through the corner. You can use these Flash Back Mode 4 times in a race in casual difficulty and it will take one off if you choose harder difficulty.

Cars
Unfortunately, Dirt2 don't have as many cars as "Grid" in term of selection. There are several categories of cars in Dirt2, eg Rally Cars, Buggies, Trucks, etc. And each category has couple selections of cars. In every race event, they have their own categories cars that allowed to enter. Other things, your car looks exactly the same when you got them as rookies, and have no visual changes at all when you reach Pro or world tour event. The difference can only be seen in the performance of the car.

Tracks
Even though all the tracks in Dirt2 are beautifully build, there are only a hand full of tracks can
be race on. All they did is just to make you race from A to B or B to A. even though it feel different, it still the same track.

Overall
Dirt2 is a solid Driving Sim game. it will keep you busy for quite some times. so if you are a Driving Sim Fans, Dirt2 is recommended by me.

Score
Dirt2 Score High 8 / 10
