Customer Reviews


Best rally game ever with a wheel!
We know the game is great, the progression is steady and fun, nice selection of cars (although I would have liked to have more, especially classics like the delta integrale, pugeot 206/207, etc.), the graphics are great, the sound is great.

What really puts this game over the top for me, though, is how it plays with a steering wheel. I have a Logitech G25 Racing Wheel hooked up to my PS3, which I mainly used with Gran Turismo. I tried it with DiRT2 and it's incredibly fun. It's the best rally game I've ever played with a wheel (more fun than Richard Burns Rally, RalliSport Challenge, and anything else that's come before). The feel is fantastic and there are plenty of advanced wheel config options if you don't like the default control (I do, though).

Highly recommended, and I highly recommend you play with a good force feedback wheel like the G25 or the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel


A great drivers game
Not much to say here. The game is really great.

Likes:
Challenging - this game will challenge you and give you plenty of hours of single player action. You can obviously turn down the skill level if you are having issues. I have not tried the multiplayer so I can't comment on that yet.

Graphics - awesome graphics

Damage - Cars show damage and behave like they are damaged

Controls - controls are set up well, the cars respond well, and give you some road feel. They don't feel like you are floating and feel numb

Dislikes:
The only thing that bothers me so far is the menu system it's not absolutely aweful it just isn't great and seems overly complicated and slow to navigate.


Best Racing game on PS3 atm
This is IMO the best racing game on the PS3. Graphics and Gameplay are perfect. It's difficulty is well managed/tailored to the player via a system that allows you to choose difficulty for each track as you play. The X-games style theme is a little cheesy but who cares story is not important to me in a racing game. This is the best looking racing game I have ever played. The flashback system(correct 1-5 errors you made during a race) really improves the gameplay for me. it's optional but I get super annoyed when I race for 5+ minutes and lose everything because of one slight mistake. Oh and you can actually crash/damage your car in this game unlike another "has been" racing game that used to be popular on the playstation.

If you want a racing game, this IS it.


FUN
this game is great, I have been playing this game a lot i have even found myself still playing it at 3 or 4 a.m. the only drawback is the online races with some players that all they want to do is wreck people and / or use cheats to get best times. other than that this is the best dirt driver i have played. having a wheel helps the experience of DIRT2


Great fun!
Really great game. Impressive graphics and gameplay with perfect balance between arcade and simulator. Let's see if GT5 can beat this one. A must-have for all gamers.
