Dirt Rally 2.0 Reviews
A worthy follow-up to a modern classic, Dirt Rally 2.0 offers marked improvements and a driving experience like no other.
Dirt Rally 2.0 is as tricky to tame as its predecessor but doing so is as satisfying as ever.
DiRT Rally 2.0 builds upon the original and adds new content to improve the rally simulation experience, but it also continues to repeat the sins of the past.
Simply the best rally sim around, building on its predecessor's already fine foundations.
Codemasters delivers another captivating rally title that will have you swearing in fear and delight
Newcomers might surprise themselves how much they really can handle in a tough-as-nails driving sim
Dirt Rally 2.
If it's realism you're after, DiRT Rally 2.0 is up there with the best rally sims out there. It's just let down a bit by some poor Rallycross AI and intrusive use of its online features, even in single player modes.
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.
Dirt Rally 2.0 is for hardcore fans of rally racing who demand the most authentic experience from a video game that dares to emulate their sport. That might sound like a hefty endorsement, and it is mostly, but any fan looking for a more casual experience might elect to pull over and exit the vehicle.
An excellent racing game that is better than the original one... but not bigger.

Just as Codemaster's competitors were starting to creep towards the digital rallying crown, Dirt Rally 2.0 puts them firmly back in the rear-view mirror. Utterly convincing, enthralling and punishing, Dirt Rally 2 is an exquisite racing sim.
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.
An unapologetically hardcore sequel that sacrifices accessibility to appease fans of Codemasters' fledgling racing sim series.
If you're looking for a real rally simulator experience, with good control and attention to detail, DiRT Rally 2.0 it's your game. It gives players freedom to play and progress the way they want and, even if you'll miss some features from previous games, if offers an even better control and a superior recreation of the rally races atmosphere.

DiRT Rally 2.0 is a solid improvement for the rally sim made in Codemasters. The physics and the driving model are top notch, even driving with a joypad, while the lack of a couple of locations and the general aging of the Ego Engine limit the game scope.

DiRT Rally 2.0 features some positively exhilarating racing. While there aren't a ton of different modes to choose from this time around, there are plenty of courses to make up for it. The lack of real-time multiplayer may dissuade some from purchasing it, as they can't directly compete with friends, but the asynchronous challenge events provide plenty of real-world competition on a daily and weekly basis. As usual, Codemasters knows rally racing like no one else.
There are very few games I would classify as a must buy but DiRT Rally 2.0 absolutely is one of them.
DiRT Rally 2.0 nails everything it sets out to do.
