He exudes a warm calmness that belies the frenetic sideways-sliding nonsense that is usually happening on the roads, giving the illusion that everything is going to be okay. Best of all, though, is that the navigator has a soothing welsh twang that makes listening to his dulcet tones extremely painless.

Dirt rally review drivers#
Effort has definitely been made to ensure that the navigation sounds more natural and smooth this time, and the vocabulary has been expanded to incorporate more of the impenetrable jargon of rally pace notes (including 'and', which apparently means something important to some drivers somewhere). There is a marked absence of snowy and icy levels, although I'm assured they're on their way in a soon-to-be-released addon pack.Īnd now, on to the thing that I feel is the high point of Dirt Rally 2.0. The russet autumnal hues of New England stand out a bit, and I guess it's really a characteristic of rally driving that you're not going to find any city maps. Argentina and Spain both have rocky canyons and mountain passes that set them apart from the others, but aside from the mud being a little redder in the Australia courses there's not a huge amount to separate them from the New Zealand levels. Poland aside though, I suppose if any criticism could be leveled at the maps it's that they are mostly quite similar. Weirdly, the Poland maps feel like they've imported the maps from Kingdom Come: Deliverance, taken out all of the old-timey buildings and geezers on horseback and stuffed the gaps with cheering men in flourescent tabards. Poland, in particular, is captured with the loving detail and sense of place the Wales maps from the first game enjoyed. It's fun! This isn't a bad thing! You can only re-invent rally driving so far, you know? For the most casual player, this is just a bunch more maps for Dirt Rally. In terms of racing enjoyment, it's very similar to Dirt Rally 1. It looked beautiful, the cars handled well, and there were enough customisation options for gearheads to get lost in while the rest of us could just sling our cars off icy precipices in hilarious ways.ĭirt Rally 2.0 is exactly like its predecessor.

They were big boots to fill - the first Dirt Rally was, in my humble opinion, one of the best driving games of the last few years. With Dirt Rally 2.0, Codemasters has been very successful. They've been at this for a long, long time. Like a mud-spattered Audi Sport Quattro E2, Codemasters' rally games just keep on going whether the ground is heavy gravel or wet mud.
