I have never played Dirt 1.


Dirt 2

Pros-

#1.Good graphics

#2.Many cars to choose from

#3.Good audio,it sounds realistic to me

#4.They will call you by the name you choose

#5.Multiplayer

#6.Flashback

#7.Replays of the race

#8.Multiple camera angles

#9.Some cool maps

#10.Crashing the car on purpose is fun and cool when you aren't racing

#11.Changing the color/liveries of your car

#12.Custom dashboard toys

#13.Custom horns/sirens

#14.Custom windshield toys

#15.The menu feels more alive and fancy then most standard menus


Cons-

#1.I think the controls need more improvement.They are decent but I have played other racing games with better controls

#2.The crowds are just clones and are not realistic at all

#3.The weather doesn't change.I want to drive in the snow or rain

#4.There is no track deterioration

#5.Some people will hate the menu

The menu takes extra time to select and find what you want in it.The menu style should have had two options.The first option can be how it is now and the second option should of been an easier simplistic menu that the majority of games have.If the player could change the menu style to something easier and simple then this would solve this problem


The Bottom Line -

Dirt 2 is one of the best racing games that have ever played.I highly suggest that you buy it.The current price on steam is $39.99 and I think that is a little too high unless you are a hardcore racing fan.If you are a casual racing fan like I am then I suggest you wait for a steam deal and pay $20 or less.


My 2 cents

    1) The game natively supports triple screen resolutions - and running @3840x1024 with 4x MSAA and all the bells and whistles on - it hums ... never dropping below 30 fps and averaging around 47. Usually these odd frame ... Read Full Review
