About the Game

As it's predecessor, the racing-game DiRT 2 doesn't just focus on accurately simulating the Rallye-sport like the earlier installments of the Colin McRae Series did. Instead eight types of Offroad-events await players during the main campaign called DiRT Tour: Rallye - players have to get as fast as possible to the finish line.

Story & Setting

Rallyecross - Takes place on round-courses with a mix of dirt and asphalt streets.

Gameplay & Core Systems

Trailblazer - Basically the same as Rallye but instead of narrow courses, this mode features long and open stages. Raid - Races over wide and open terrain with many dangerous shortcuts allowing players to get distance between him and the other drivers. Landrush - All drivers start at the same time and the tracks are littered with crazy curves and jumps. Gatecrasher - players have a limited amount of time to get to the finish line. Each sector gives 1-10 points depending on how fast players in relation to his opponents finishes it.

Standout Features

• Each car can be customized both visually and under the hood with parts unlocked by gaining a level.
• Flashbacks allow players to rewind the action a few seconds when he made a mistakes or crashed and allows him to try that section again - hopefully without making the same mistake a second time.
• DiRT-tour: A major part of the experience is many real-world racers including their voices and their cars who give players tips during the course of the DiRT-tour and also offer him additional challenges including duels and time trials.
• Last Man Standing - As the name implies, the goal here is to race around the course and be the last car in the race at the end with the last car being removed after each lap.
• Experience points are awarded both for finishing races as well as completing missions like jumping over the finish line or getting through a race without any damage.
• The amount of cash earned at the end of each race, is influenced by the difficulty level.
• In addition the difficulty-level also changes the amount of flashbacks that are available for the race (from five to none).
