it's been a while since i got into a racing game, so getting back into the action with something faster than a renault kwid was pretty cool. dirt 2 features these well-crafted rally tracks that really stand out, and the driving experience is spot-on. the whole atmosphere around the events and the characters interacting with you was pretty neat back in the day, but now it's more annoying than anything. maybe i'm a bit biased as a big rally fan, but i think the game could've focused more on the traditional rally elements. that being said, while there are better options for me these days, i have fond memories of having a great time with dirt 2 when i was younger.
