Only a few locations are initially unlocked, with more becoming available as you move up in rank.Īlthough rally fans are still smarting at the inclusion of other racing disciplines, the rally courses on offer are top notch some are point-to-point races with a co-driver giving you notes on the course ahead, while the Trailblazer mode is similar, but without the co-driver. There are a total of nine different locations in the game, with a selection ranging from Battersea power station in London to the more exotic Malaysian jungles and mountains of Utah. Instead of offering up a list of menus, the game uses a first person view, moving you around the RV as you chose a different menu race locations are chosen by a map on the table for example. The game’s hub is an RV, which acts as your base of operations in each country you visit over the course of the game, helping to immerses you into the world of off road racing.
COLIN MCRAE DIRT 2 COLLECTORS DRIVER
The game starts off by putting you in the shoes of a rookie driver with a single car, once driven by Colin McRae. Will DiRT 2 improve on the foundations laid by the original? To the consternation of many of the original series’ fans, the original DiRT drifted away from being a straight up rally driving game into a more rounded, dare I say it more arcade like off road experience, opening the game up to a far wider audience. At first it seems strange to see the late Colin McRae’s name attached to DiRT 2 considering the rallying legend died two years ago, but upon reflection it seems a fitting tribute to the man who had lent his name to racing games made by Codemasters since the original ColinMcRae Rally in 1998.
