DiRT 2 - September 11th *Demo released!*

[Penn]

Anyone fancy it? Loved the first one but it got a bit repetitive getting 1000G.

New one looks even better, will be a very nice stop gap whilst I'm waiting for Forza 3 :D

the handling looks much better on this than dirt 1 i couldnt play dirt 1 i borrowed it off a mate and switched it off with dissapointment, ill be interested in hearing reviews before i commit to a good nights worth of fuel lol.

I liked DiRT, was good, would of preferred a GRID 2 though, best racing game of this gen imo.

Your signature is well out of date, you should compare the 3GS (Or the 3G with 3.0) to the Nokia :x

Got bored with the first one so probably will not bother with the second. Though Multiplayer is a big plus so may yet still get it.

I don't think the demo gives it justice can't really use a good car on a decent track but I'm sure it will worth a download... :y:

[Krys_23]

I'll be getting this, Didn't set the 200th quickest lap online in a 205 for nothing ;)

[Ben]

Out on my birthday, bonus.

Need for speed shift is out the week after, looks pretty good I have to say!

[wilksey]

Personally I love the handaling. I think it's 100x better than dirt 1! You can actually pull the hand break and the car will react alot more realistic than dirt 1 and power sliding and engine noises are wicked! think this is a winnner to be fair! the fact ken block and his subaru are in it and you can go around an area jumping it is wicked!

not sounding too bad then but the big daddy im waitig for is forza 3, its not often i pre order a game but that is worth getting a day early.:y: i find you save aload of money when you buy a good game you find yourself stopping in lool.

[smiith]

Downloading the demo now, Only played the 1st game at a mates, so looking forward to buying this one

[smiith]

Im not sure on it like, that eclipse handling is sickening, move your stick a mm, the car turns a mile

[James106]

agreed but you do get used to it

[smiith]

agreed but you do get used to it

yeh but still, suppose its good when your in the corners for locking the wheels one way, but on the straights its a right git

[James106]

yeah straights, it randomly pulls you to one side

[CaldzieVTR]

downloading as we speak should be sweet looks good first one was class

[TU-Tuning]

Dirt one was a wicked game, some of the cars were well off the mark but the ones that were good were amazing. In car camera, the Scooby and a nice African stage and you almost felt like you were there, graphics were spot on and the engine sounds were amazing too

[Penn]

So this is released tomorrow, anyone from here getting it? Could be good fun doing some online races as the crashes are errm, quite spectacular :P

[wilksey]

I've already got it people, theres a shop near me that sell's them a few day's early. Bit naughty!

It's a vast improvement from the last one I must say! Deffo worth it's money personally.

Proof ;)

Cool beans, can't wait to get my hands on it although wont have much playtime this weekend, or the next actually! :(

[Toad]

Dirt2, NFS Shit, GT5... Can all suck my plums. Forza 3 is where it's at. ;)

[smiith]

Bought it yesterday, im in love with the game.

What car is everyone using for the proper rally? i was using new imprezza, but iv found that the evo seems to handle so much nicer in the hairpins and stuff, can keep the front end right on the walls as i slide round, and carry alot more speed.

They have sorted the twitchyness of the straight line driving aswell which is good

[Penn]

Yep I've been playing it loads, it's absolutely fucking brilliant. All the single player "americanised" stuff actually works really well and the way the menus work is flawless, really adds to the whole thing.

The handling/physics are sooooo much better than number one too, I was actually quite surprised.

ONLY bad thing about the game are the people online, all they seem to do is try and cause the biggest crash in turn one and then if you're racing properly they'll just take you out and go past you. Racing is so close that if you spin/crash, chances are you're never gonna win it.

Currently level 16 online and as soon as I've got all the online achievements i doubt I'll play it much over xbox live. Single player though is awesome!

[VTRelite]

Am going to Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys to try and find it lol

[VJOFurio]

It's a great game, I bought it on friday, although its missing the Welsh forest thrashes of the previous McRae games but it's still great fun :A:

Know what you mean, played online once, and people are just knobbers on it, so i just play the single player, think thats probably better tbh

[VTRelite]

Is a wicked game although I feel the car selection could be a lot bigger

[SaxoMuffin]

One major thing that ruins online, is the fact you cant set-up the cars the default is shocking shizzer....:( good game though..

[stinkycheese]

played the demo. 'tis aweeeesome. like an off-road GRID. purchasing payday...

[smiith]

One thing i think they have missed now im 82% complete, is there isnt any tracks on snow, or through forestry... which would be awesome.

[Ben]

I think its an amazing game, graphics and gameplay are immense. I love it, been playing it more than COD recently. I'm at level 34 atm IIRC. Around 55% through.

[SaxoMuffin]

you can you just need the host to turn it on :D

Oh well I'll start playing online again then thats the only reason I went back to single player....
