Dirt Rally 2.0 Reviews
DiRT Rally 2.0 might be the best-feeling racer Codemasters has ever produced, but it most definitely is not the best iteration of this long-running series.
Dirt Rally 2.0 Game of the Year Edition is the most complete version of Codemasters’ excellent rally simulator that comes to solve one of the biggest defects of the original version, the lack of content. In this game, you will compete in some of the most iconic locations in the world, using both current vehicles and other well-recognized classics from the competition. Like the original version, it’s a very demanding title that requires a lot of practice on the part of the players, this edition incorporating several updates that refine the experience, and lots of content that has been released through the season passes together with other extras.
Although it may be enjoyable for the dedicated rally fan, the current lack of content may not be enough to keep the casual racer playing for more than several hours.
Dirt Rally 2.0 is a great racing game plagued by online connectivity issues and some punishing design choices that keep it from being accessible.
Dirt Rally 2.0 is a very competent rally simulator when viewed in isolation. However, when compared to its predecessor and its vastly superior force feedback implementation it loses its allure.
If you're a diehard fan of the Dirt series, or relish a rallying challenge, this is the game for you. Casual racers will find enjoyment here with a little patience but will probably enjoy something that can be picked up a little easier.
The sharp difficulty and rough edges of Dirt Rally 2.0 give way to a rewarding racing model, with a surfeit of meaningful options for the obsessed.
With excellent vehicle handling, DiRT Rally 2.0 finds itself in a strong position. It also has superb visuals and brutal simulation aspects. Apart from AI issues and track repetition, it should please most rally fans.
If you’re a racing fan or a rally enthusiast it makes for a great addition to your collection, but don’t underestimate the challenge that’ll come along with it.
Overall, Dirt Rally 2.0, despite being incredibly difficult and at times quite infuriating, I can safely say that I had a positive experience playing this game. Yes, I wasn’t the best of players and it took me a fair bit to really start driving somewhat decently on the track.
DiRT Rally 2.0 is an unforgivingly hard game, only for those brave enough to try and tackle the challenges that rally driving offer. If that's what you like, the game has much in store.

In general, its predecessor was a more complete game overall and thus the mission of the second title in the series became more difficult, without this meaning that it is not one of the best games of its kind.

Codemasters is back at it again. After an almost experiment in a dedicated simulation game, DiRT Rally 2.0 stands on its own as a great spin-off game from the more arcade DiRT series. Every turn feels dangerous and every second counts, DiRT Rally 2.0 is authentic and visceral, but only for the most enthusiastic players.

So Dirt Rally 2.0 is tipped as the most authentic off-road experience out there, and that claim definitely has some truth, with the new aspects of the game building on the previous games brilliant racing experience we might just have the best rally game since Colin McRae Rally
Dirt Rally 2.0 might not be a popular game because of its high difficulty, but without a doubt it's one of the best racing simulator games in history; if the control scheme was laid out correctly it could have been perfect. That being said I suggest this game to all the fans of racing genre and ] know that they will like it. Dirt Rally 2.0 requires lots of patience from you, but be sure that its lovely gameplay and even its fantastic sound design is totally worth it.

DiRT Rally 2.0 has you living in the space between control and the edge of it, which is right where you want to be.
DiRT Rally 2.0 brings out the best in rallying and continues to live up to the name. Whether you're experimenting with low horsepower front wheel drive cars, Group B legends or the modern R5 powerhouses - you're always going to be on your toes and finding the threshold between speed and control.
DiRT Rally 2.0 aims for professional racing players, and gives them everything they want. DiRT 2.0's gameplay is ultra realistic and Codemasters paid a good attention to all the details. All that said, it seems that Codemasters is running out of ideas and while DiRT 2.0 is a solid racing game, there is not much that we haven't already saw in previous entries in the series.
