dirt 2

[iain187]

i like this game, it's really fun.

the only thing that bugs me is the AI cars front wheels only seem to have 3 positions - straight, full lock left, full lock right. they just flick from any of those 3, they dont seem to turn the wheel gradually bit picky of me though

I started on Serious, still winning. Might advance, but not just yet. 1 thing I can recommend is not to drive it on a harder level, PISSED!! It's impossible, but it hooks you right in

 

[16v_er]

liking it so far

 

[the1]

Anybody know what the max level is?.... My bros on level 40 atm and he's only had it since yesturday dinner lol. Could it be 50 like Forza?..

 

[James.f]

Good game, i rented it from blockbuster on friday night as i cant be arsed spending 40+quid on something easy lol,

Im on All Star now doing the World tours, still got a couple of other races to do tho but lovinig it. Colin Mccrae R4 is superb and love the sound when your revving it before takeoff, also the Subary Sti Wrx is nutts fully kitted up huge spoiler etc just easy to control and delivers power,

one thing tho, why put a handbrake onit when you dont need to use it on hairpins etc, just full speed into the corner dab the brakes abit and let it drift round

 

[Brazo]

Still enjoying it, online seems a little lacking, can't quite put my finger on it but it doesn't have the awesomeness of Grid!

There seems to be quite a gulf in difficulty between the Casual and Serious game modes!

 

[iain187]

u can get it really tight with the handbrake, see how close you can get to kissing the barriers with it

 

[steven.m]

I just cant get the hang of the handling at all.... once you start sliding, its gone! Its too easy to over-correct as well.... just slide one way then another.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

does anybody play it on savage? i think its pretty easy sometime on savage. Anybody doen all the x-games and the Colin McRae event yet? also anybody took loads of pics yet? i have ill post them later

 

[James.f]

iv done the Colin McRae event last night, Escort Mk2 god thats a pain to drive the back end just slides every time lol, but im yet to take the Metro 6R4 out yet, hopefully that will be easier to drive..

How do you take pics? could have had a few good shots of just sliding round the corners just missing the walls etc

 

[Millsy]

Got this for my birthday today, hopefully going to get a bit of a go on it tonight before going out

 

[m4rkie23]

[Millsy]

[dajones]

[Munson]

It's not out on PC yet

 

[dajones]

how very rude!!

 

[Munson]

Exactly.

 

[iain187]

I've done the x-games, the McRae event and a couple of world tours.

I think it is quite easy on 'Serious' once I turned it up to the next one I could never win... only 2nd

I seem to rock rally cross on live but suck at baja

 

[the1]

Just thought I would mention that in Single Player the max level is 72.

ditto, i hate it, for some reason you cant actually floor the buggies on that track,

Tbh the game is to easy, i dont mean the racing part just the XP, as you fly up them which is crap, best if you had to work for the points better

 

[dajones]

Exactly.

any ideas when theyre bringing it to the proper machines?

 

[James.f]

its allready on the ps3

 

[dajones]

you will learn soon

 

[Munson]

I haven't really looked in detail, as the demo on PS3 isn't exactly amazing. Play have it listed as December. Sad sign of the times, or a one off? You decide.

Considering their apparent lack of interest in the PC (I'm sure they have financial, timing and code reasons), I think I will actually download it and try it before buying. f**k them. Two can play at that game.

It's to allow them time to get DX11 support in. Plus it was important to get the console versions out before Need For Speed.

I've been playing it on the hardest setting as there's no way I'm letting the guys in Southam beat me. Playing it with a wheel is amazing, it's seriously hard work, but so much fun.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

serious is too easy and savage is starting to go the same, played 12 online races and havent lost one and by a big margin aswell anybody else been the same? im unstoppable on trailblazer, also the rs200 is ace to drive, the metro 6r4 is a handfull but once you get used to it its fun fun fun cant beleive you dont like the mk2 i love all the arse action ha ha ha

[tommy g]

rented it the other day from block's still got it atm! what a game, love it! im currnetly rep 22! i love the trail blazers! the cars sound spot on also! havent played online yet! is it any good?

 

[steven.m]

I dabbled with online the other night, but to be fair it wasnt so good as everyone just rammed each other. Still won 2 of my first 3 online races though.

Yeah fair enough. I guessed there's obviously a reason, but ultimately that reason boils down to consoles increasingly being given priority. More of an observation than a complaint, I suppose. Id like to try it on PS3 with my G25, but unless I buy a race seat, it's not practical for me to setup in my lounge

 

[Millsy]

had a play last night, agreed it does seem a little easy even on serious, either way, its still a fun game

 

[BIFCAIDS]

get it on savage or extreme, im going on to extreme now

 

[Millsy]

do they those options as you progress?

 

[James.f]

Metro 6R4 is the best tbh, its easy to powerslide it round corners love it mk2 is just a handfull for me does my head in when you powerslide if you do it to much you lose it, if you try and correct it you just lose it again lol,

Have got to say best level is Croatia tight corners through out flat out is superb,

 

[James.f]

you choose the difficulty, either Easy/Casual/Savage/Extreme i think it is

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Easy/Casual/Serious/Savage/Extreme

 

[steven.m]

What level do you need to be at to unlock the 6R4, Mk2 and the '95 Impreza? I'm currently 17 or 18 I think.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

you unlock them once you do the american x games i think cant remeber as it was early morning lol
