The game looks stunning, especially in the new location in Scotland. The only slight issue I have here is that some of the notes can be a little late being called and you might need to spend some time in the menus tweaking them to your preference, but I guess this is more my personal feeling. The game also for the first time features 2003 WRC winning co-driver Phil Mills calling the notes as you fly along each stage, adding to that realism feeling. The car sounds are as realistic as I’ve ever heard in any rally game and makes DR2 as immersive as possible. DiRT games have traditionally looked amazing and this backs that idea up.Īs well as the incredible visuals, the audio is also second to none. You see every puddle, every drop of rain, every reflection bouncing off the trees as the sun sets and the game just looks stunning. It’s a cliche to say, but you do really have to sometimes take a double check at some of the screenshots in the game that they aren’t in fact a real photo. To put it simply, visually, the game looks stunning. I guess this is down to the number of locations in the game, but I think this mode could have had more done to it overall, with more championships and more cars to unlock over a longer period of time. If you can afford it, you’re able to step up from your Volkswagen Golf GTI to a WRC machine as soon as you have the credits.ĭon’t get me wrong, the career mode is interesting, but it just feels a repetitive after a while. To be fair in DR2, it’s not a case of starting off in something slow and then gradually unlocking more cars as you complete rallies and races in slower machinery, but it’s all based around in-game credits. One of the better features of the 2017 more arcadey DiRT4 was the career mode where you set up your own team and had a team of mechanics and sponsors to manage- something that’s missing here. Rallycross fans aren’t disappointed either, with both the 20 FIA WRX rota’s being topped off by the familiar S1600 and RX2 classes – both are perfect if like me you can’t get the hang of drifting a 600hp Supercar around Silverstone straight away! Career ModeĪlthough the career mode, complete with different various championships and events is a solid enough package, this is somewhere I think Codemasters missed a trick. The lineup is a rally fans dream, with everything from a classic Mini, 1970 s Lancia Stratos, flame spitting Group B monsters such as the Peugeot 205 T16 and a brand new R5 Volkswagen Polo all in the game.Įvery generation of car is represented all the way from the 1960’s to the present day and all tell a story for rallying and all played a part in the history of the sport. This is somewhere the base game already was already well stocked and the extra DLC that comes with the GOTY edition makes it even more complete. The 2019 FIA World Rallycross Championship is part of the Game of the Year edition. It’s incredibly challenging to nail that sweet spot of ensuring you finish each and every stage but at the same time set a competitive time, whether that be against the A.I. Have this on the most difficult settings and this game won’t let you off, no matter how small your mistake is. There’s a very fine line between nailing a hairpin turn on a dark and wet night in a Welsh forest and going for a barrel roll among the scenery. Thank goodness this game isn’t real life, that’s all I’m saying. The setup I have is an ‘entry level’ Logitech G920, so I thought the first time I fired the game it would be relatively easy to set a fast time on one of the online leaderboards. The best place to start is by saying just how challenging but in the end satisfying this game is. Annoyingly Frustrating but Hugely Rewarding Add in extra game modes, such as the returning FIA World Rallycross Championship (the 2019 cars now included as part of the GOTY), and this in theory is one of the biggest and most complete off-road games ever produced. This was then followed last year by this second version of this new philosophy, with more cars, more stages and better physics all on the list of new and improved features.

Avaliable now on XBOX One, PC, PlayStation 4ĭiRT Rally 2.0 has often been praised over the last 12 months, but how does the Game of the Year edition, featuring all of the downloadable content released for the game including the new McRae FLAT OUT pack, shape up?ĭiRT as a name has been around since 2007 where the aforementioned McRae’s name was part of its title and Codemasters have over the last 13 years released a series of sequels, all with different ideas behind them.īut it was in 2015 when arguably the biggest shape up in the franchise occurred with the sudden early-access release of the first DiRT Rally which was aimed mainly at die hard sim-racers for the first time in the series.
