Better than Dirt 1.

It is hard to find a game as polished as the newest installment in the Colin McRae series. Even watching a replay becomes an event with fluidly adjustable playback speed from super slowmotion to ultra fast without any hickups. The graphics are very detailed with a realistic color palette for each of the stages, while still providing some wow-effects in sun flares and pyro effects. Physics aren't any less detailed with a great feel for the car's weight and grip. Braking and drifting through corners feels much more natural than in the original Dirt (one of it's main drawbacks). Content-wise there are plenty of countries you can race in, but just a few more tracks for each environment would have been great. Classic rally modes come a little short (the longest rally event i've driven so far was two stages). In all other aspects, the game is truly great. This is the definitive offroad racing game to date, and with a few more novelties from Dirt and slightly more tracks it would be a perfect 10!
