They're running a time trial competition at work on Friday. The winner from each studio gets to do a rally day in an Impreza and an Evo. I'm practicing now.

Picked up my DiRT2 DC shoes T shirt earlier, so I can pretend to be Ken Block!!! lol

The reviews so far have been awesome, and well deserved. :approve:

Menzo, I hope you aren't playing a dodgy copy?

 

[The Ironist]

Nope. US import on day of release.

 

[The Ironist]

The buggys are a pain to start off with, once they start drifting they don't like to come back, takes a bit of getting used to but a lot of fun once you do.

Me taking part in 2nd race of the Colin Mcrae memorial event in which everyone must drive the Ford Escort MK II. One of the nicest cars to drive in game.

Recorded on iPhone so not as good as I looked on screen

And mine my shopto.net buddy!

If I didn't have to lay my new kitchen floor tiles tommorow I would be playing Dirt 2

Awesome, my copy arrived this morning. Played a bit at lunch, just as good as the demo was. Pretty graphics and fx.
It looks like there will be many, many hours of offline play to level and unlock all the events, then there is the collecting of vehicles too. Once your board of that, there's always the online racing.

I played the demo today... I only really liked the proper rally stage, rather than the buggy type race!
I dont think id pay £40 for this game tbf... But my mates got it ordered so ill give the full game a go and then see!

 

[m4rkie23]

thats good cuz its only £30.

get it!

 

[BRUN]

[Cliotoby]

Im not overly impressed with it tbh ive been playing it for a few days now. Not all its cracked up to be.

 

[Easty_172]

Picked it up this morning and love it so far !

 

[Lee]

Just got my free copy. Plus I won the office DiRT2 time trial competition and won a rally day. And to top it off we're having a launch party this afternoon so we're all off to the pub at 3. A day of pure win.

[Seedy172]

Loving it so far, not a massive way into it, but it's brilliant imo. Fantastic graphics, brilliant steering/handling, great setup... Brilliant. Pleased I bought it so far.

 

[the1]

My bro's been playin it all day and got to level 21 atm in Single Player... Its not a bad game tbh imho, but its sooooo much changed from how Colin Mcrae used to be that I don't really see it as a proper rally game. The only part of the game I like is the Rally part with the spoken pace notes, other than that its just Need For Speed Pro Street.

 

[Brazo]

Its very good although I hate the 'silly' modes such as gate crasher and last man standing!

Also can't we have more hardcore rally stuff and none of this truck, baja, buggy racing!

 

[The Ironist]

Level 21 in one day is pretty good, I'm 30 now but I played it quite a lot for like 3 days to get that

 

[Seedy172]

Few hours, an i'm nearly on Level 10... plus I had a bash to learn the game a bit, then deleted the save data. It's brilliant imo. Even enjoying the Baja etc... although obviously I do still prefer the Rally stuff. Soundtracks ace too

 

[Richy59]

Great game, yes it could do with more rallying with proper rally cars like the first game, but its excellent so far. I really like the presentation of the thing overall. Its really hard on Savage mode lol

 

[Brazo]

Started on Casual but kept winning so now on serious a touch harder! Great soundtracks but would prefer morer emphasis on the pure rally stages, its cool taking a corner at speed in the confidence that your co driver has advised you correctly!

 

[DH_GTI]

loving this game !! great music and replays.
iam playing on savage still winning lol

 

[steven.m]

Got mine yesterday but opened it up yet, hopefully grab a few hours this afternoon.
