If there's one thing Colin McRae DiRT 2 (CMD2) does correctly it's to pay tribute. Right from the start of this off road racing game it brings his name into play with fitting respect for what he had achieved in his life. Your first car in the single player game is Colin's own from his appearance at the X-Games.
Colin McRae: DiRT 2 lays more rubber down in the long running Colin McRae series. Fans noted the move away from the mere rally format as the original DiRT landed, opting for a more arcade style and fans will be pleased to learn that DiRT 2 builds on this. Why the move away from the old format? Codemasters have the answer.
If there were three games that made you want to learn how to use gears in a racing simulation they'd have to be Gran Tourismo, Project Gotham, Metropolis Street Racer and the Colin McRae Rally games.
