Dirt 2 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Overall, this is a great game. If you are in the mood for a little "hargy bargy" racing, DiRT 2 delivers. As long as you can understand and have the mindset this is an offroad racing game, and not a pure rally game, you will not be disappointed. There is plenty of challenge and a lot more difficulty available than most gamers will be able to handle. Also , there is A LOT of multiplayer fun, which can be controllable with a good room of racers.

First, the graphics on this game look great. Playing on a 42" 1080p TV, the 30fps frame rate is consistent, along with great visual dynamic colour and brightness range. This is one of the few games that I actually will play the replay post-race as it feels like a reward watching a winning accomplishment!

Also, the feel of the cars is great. Coming from an avid Forza player and rallyXer, the dirt surfaces are rewarding for their variety, and the fact you need to use finesse, instead of full throttle all-the-time action, to REALLY do well. Finally stringing a set of corners together and getting the lines to a multi-surface rallyX tracks is a reward in itself, and great for persistent drivers.

For single player, there is a great variety of race types, and if you prefer a specific race type (I prefer rallyX/circuits), you can pretty much make your way through a lot of the game, initially while only driving what you like. As long as you like the initial car offerings, you can stick to a car you like through out your career (I like that), and it keeps being upgraded (different "kits" and it gets "faster"). To that point, I am still using the 07 No Fear STi, and winning races on "Extreme".

Multiplayer takes some patience, but is very rewarding with some patience. Initially there is bumping and banging, and you will lose races to "squids", but people quickly learn clean and fast is the way to go. Ranked and unranked races are great, especially with the built in party system!

Overall, a great game that is easy to pick up and play!

Very good game. It is the first game that has had my attention for a while and that I actully look forward to playing... and have been for hours at a time.
I played for a while when I first got it and then came back to it and have been having fun online and doing the time trials and trying to see how I stack up against the rest of the world. I enjoy putting up a faster ghost and trying to keep up with him.

Again I was about to send it back after a few weeks but now it may be on my buy it list, the gameplay is really good and the tracks are really good.
Try it you'll like it.
