I agree. I traded it for DiRT 3 and I made a mistake :(

***** It is a bit hard to explain, but I had a bit more fun playing DiRT 2. I definitely recommend picking DiRT 2 up :) They are both AMAZING games!

I agree, I had it on the PS3

+EZ Assegai imho #1 reason is that it simply had generally more enjoyable tracks. I can't think of a single stage I dislike in that game. Rallycross stages are especially superior to D3 stages. Physics-wise it was also better. Hard to notice, but DiRT 3 had them adjusted to be more arcade-y to make Gymkhana viable. DiRT 2 feels just right. Selection of cars was somewhat the same, tho a lot of good cars arrived to DiRT 3 only after DLCs. Music is D2 is mostly rock, in D3 it's random mix of everything. I prefer rock. My only gripe with D2 is the retarded main menu, but I got used to it.

***** I agree

Akos me too

F I S H me too

Same, i used to play it when i was a little kid

yea thats right

2.0 and 4.

Ross Murison Yes. Dirt 1 was also really good. I hope they bring toca race driver back. Probably the best campaign in a racing game.

the first one too

My first game

No it doesn't stands up

***** Look at Dirt rally ;)

Yeah,Gta San Andreas looks as well as Gta V when I don't play it with my glasses :))

omg lol, gta 5 is 10 years younger than Colin Mcrae xD way better in graphics and Dirt Rally is amazing in detail and a god when it comes to sound

+Sandhewa Beryl Yeah, you can say that, however, the franchise is great and has lots of fans...... But, you are absolutely right in the way that Dirt Rally created more fans on the run and now people have known the greatness of Colin McRae Series Through Dirt Rally, so they want more of it, thus, saving the series as you mentioned

+Sandhewa Beryl i agree with you but i have say i miss the sort of lunacy that was in DIRT2. I think Dirt rally is taking itself bit too seriously...

+Noe Cortes you're right on this, I miss Dirt2, it was really great and fun

+Noe Cortes Not really...It's a rally simulator.

yeah Dirt 2 was awesome. and lets just wait for Dirt 4 :) haha

T- GUERREIRO_ I had that fame

what

321haiqal colin mcrae died in helicopter crash near his house with his son..

He's been dead since '07. That's why Dirt 3 is called just "Dirt", and not "Colin McRae Dirt" anymore.

***** The surviving family probably preferred dropping the name. The name is their "property" now.

Same here

Daniel Witerspan same many many hours on it

Same here!

Jesus, are you 12?

Everton Correia 14 tho xD

Colin McRae Rally first game i hace ever played on a console, in 1999 when i had 6 years. Your commentary make me feel old.

μλκ και εμένα το πρώτο μου Colin mcrae ήταν το 2005 . ΑΠΛΆ ΠΑΙΧΝΙΔΑΡΑ

panos a δικε μου το είχα κάψει μικρός

+Tet Pr Dirt Showdown is simply a spinoff. They communicated this and imo that's fine. It's not a bad game. The remake was a cashgrab. We don't know about the current situation at codemasters (or at least the situation at that time). There were rumors about financial problems. However it's still not ok to release such a game and it probably did some serious damage to the brand. However Dirt Rally pretty much fixed this and is an awesome game, even though it's probably too hard for most people.

+Tet Pr The remake was ment to be a mobile version of the game which happens to not be the target audience of the Dirt/Rally franchise so they released it for PC.

Remember though, DiRT was originally an Arcade spin off of Colin McRae Rally. So it was an entirely different series. But they've brought it back to Simulation now anyways.

I know, and it was a good game none the less, it was really fun and still somewhat realistic. But as soon as McRae died Codemasters basically said fuck 'em. Now that that old man McRae is gone lets get those dude bros from the X games and make a game about them instead. I even thought Dirt 2 was a good game but i really hated the direction it was going, im pretty sure his family told them to no longer use his name for anymore merchandise not long after that. Which Codemasters were obviously over the moon with considering that Dirt 3 was Dirt 2 on steroids. Don't even get me started on showdown. Im not against more fun arcade racing games, Motorstorm is my favourite Racing franchise, but they should of just started a new IP and made a full blown X games game or something with motorX and ATVs and all that sort of thing. But im glad that atleast some people at Codemasters thought it was time to bring these games back to thier roots.

I don't think the McRea games were very accurate simulations. They were more comparable with something like Gran Turismo or the Shift series in terms of realism. .They were more authentic then something like Dirt but in terms of pure realism RBR was about the only game that could be called a true simulation. Dirt Rally is way more of a sim then the McRea games ever were IMO and even that game doesn't quite reach the realism of RBR. A true sim can be VERY frustrating to get into. I remember going from the McRea games to RBR and almost giving up. RBR is so hard to control with a gamepad as controlling a real car with a gamepad would be. The McRea games were much easier to play because they were primarily designed to be played with a gamepad. The damage model in The McRea games was also much more forgiving then In RBR. You really had to drive like an idiot before you totaled the car or even noticed the damage. The handling in Dirt Rally comes really close to the realism in RBR but the damage modeling is still very forgiving.

There is a reason Dirt Rally is the first game in over 10 years to be compared to RBR, it is a great game and feels a lot better on the eyes, but if you want best physics possible I guess

As you said Collin McRae rally racing,from 2007 it turned to dirt a different game and I praise codemaster for doing so dirt 2 was the best game in the franchise cuz it was different for the time and brought a lot of fun sim/arcade driving with authentic roads and amazing graphics but now the game has turned boring again on PC and nobody plays it on PC.Hope they return to dirt 2 and make games like that.

+W=M1² i have 04 on ps2. sadly my monitor doesnt have the required inputs

the ps1 version of collin mcrae 2.0 is even more impressive.

They did make some amazing games, but the situation with cheat codes? HORRIBLE. JUST HORRIBLE.

i remember been so amazed that u could get flying dirt from the track on the car

try dirt rally

Yeah me too its so much fun!

Same here. Ah the childhood...

WRC*

I still playing it

Exactly

Indeed

Dirt 2 is the best for fun and playing with friends. The graphics, the balanced physics (in the sense of arcade-ish vs realism) the soundtrack, the feeling? and enviroment. And Dirt Rally as the best simulator I'd say. Sharp, dry, cold blooded, hardcore, unforgiving.

dirt 2 is the best

Masayoshi It's a simulator.

I never knew there was a first person cam
