Graphics:
The graphics of the game is really very good. These great environmental and weather textures. The cars are very detailed. Nevertheless, the game plays at any time liquid. Stuttering did not exist for me so far.
Sound:
Also good. The music fits perfectly with the game atmosphere. While there is little-known pieces of music, but this does not fall into the negative weight, since the music is a total of just consistent. Witzig the comments of the speaker while you are located in the main menu.
Control:
One of the main plus points of the game. Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is not a simulation but no real action racing game. The cars are more often realistic, driving errors are forgiven more easily than was the case with the rally predecessors. Therefore, the game is suitable for beginners. But also advanced required on the highest difficulty.
Others:
The main menu looks a bit irritating at first. One finds, however, quickly master and want the caravan (in the many menu items are located) will soon no longer against a text-heavy menu trade).
The game scope enough for some game weekends. There is again to win many trophies, wait the X-Games, etc. It is provided for guests: ten different venues - the racetracks also really different from each other -, seven types of competition, challenges from other drivers - to name just a few content.
The game has received only good to very good reviews in the trade press. This I can relate to now 41 hours of racing without reservations. A great game that can motivate over and over again.
