With full throttle I heat in the new Colin McRae : Dirt 2 on hot tarred roads and dirt tracks all sorts durchpflüge. But Dirt 2 is a worthy successor to the rally series or just a lax descent?
order is half the battle. Unless one is rally driver and lives in a shabby caravan. Then you have to clean up that is not time. Or desire. Or both. Because in my caravan, it looks like a pigsty. A surfboard flackt in the corner, moldy food scraps on the table before him fucked up, the dishes in the sink has seen in ages no water, newspapers and magazines bum on the floor. A television flickers on the wall and gives me initial information to the races. On the whiteboard dangle Rough Paper with the scribbled out multiplayer options. The leaves on the sagging sofa to give me an overview of my Archievement and missions. On my desk is a great shabby, no less filthy world map on which I can select different events. then I step through the bright light outside, I find there in front of cheering fans and my tricked-out cars. Engines roar, sounding through the speakers loud announcements. Already taking place on the track I find myself in the first instant of Colin McRae: Dirt 2 . Initially, the menu a bit confusing, but extremely pretty. The hip presentation is backed with funky music. Without having ever denied a single race, I immediately feel like a very casual professional racing driver.

on the route
After I have changed my set up at home in my trailer, that is: I configured all the settings such as control and graphics, so I went to my first race and am of course the first place. Finally, I am from Newcomer to the high professional work and as it is at full throttle. For my game I harvest a lot of experience points and coal. So do I unlock new cars and tracks. Speaking of lines: they are incredibly varied and lead me through nine different sites distributed around the globe. While I shower in Baja California over the dusty trails grubby, I jolt in Malaysia through a spring-green landscape, then I jet through huge cities like London and Tokyo. The route is very diverse. Time I hunt with more than 200 cases through steep gorges of the Montgomery Valley, jump over steep hills in the English stadiums or sled through treacherous Hairpin turns in China. The steep winding roads in Croatia have it in them. Especially common are the often-changing surfaces. While I am able to asphalt floors thanks to the good adhesion curve shower, I slip a few yards later on the dusty sand soil with not much luck from the web. Too bad only that there is no snow slopes and icy weather changes. That would have been before the trail of choice still rounded.
ascent and descent: The convinced landscape of the hilly sections of Croatia with beautiful graphics and attention to detail.
While my first race, I am amazed not bad: the landscape is full in a beautiful, crisp look to detail. Even the chic anzusehnde Flatout 2 other hand, looks frumpy. At the edge are spectators cheering on me or jump in horror to the side when I come to fishtail. My car shines thanks to the stylish lighting effects in the sun like polished fresh or exuberates in dirt, when I rustle through mud puddles. My cockpit I can decorate with all sorts of kitsch. Flux I hang me an air freshener dangling from the mirror or amuse me of my loose-skull, which I christened in memory of Planescape Torment "Morte" have. As full of love is to see the inside of the cockpit, some cars like the BMW Z4 I see in this view of sheer interior hardly the road. Thus I lose track quickly and often find myself back off the track. Still, I love to tear through mud puddles and smear the splashes on the windshield with the wipers to marvel at the swirling dust, if I give full throttle to see or fly on the gravel roads of the stones. Owners of older hardware have to worry about. The hardware requirements are modest, even on older systems, the program runs smoothly. Colin McRae Dirt 2 is in every sense, a visual treat!

wonderful addition to the pretty graphics and the massive sound convinced. When pressing the gas pedal on my engine screaming shrilly, so I get goose bumps like this. The crunching of the sand when I jet roars around a curve in my ears. Even the funky punk soundtrack with me immediately spread a good mood. Also amusing are the comments of my colleagues, have grumbled ever the start when I "accidentally" by urging the slopes or when my passenger just before a violent crash panic starts crying.
whiplash
Overall, eight race modes available to me. They do all lots of fun and play very differently. As I drive around in "Gate Crasher" small stand in order to gain precious seconds ticking down against the Clock, is the "elimination race" shall be the last driver out of the race kicked. Also, the "dominance" race to the best sector time is a lot of fun, just like the classic duel, or the time trial. Also nice: for drift distances, especially long jumps or the number of overtaking I turn challenges I will be free for the extra rewards if I do well. The difficulty level is generally crisp, but schaffbar. Also, my AI-controlled opponents racing have it in them. So it can happen before, that I rammed a counterparty from behind and pounds off the track. This is not always fair, but extremely exciting. Kracht my fancy slide in a crash with a tree or rock burst discs or spun off to my bumper. Moreover, all too easily influenced severe accidents, the driving physics. Flatout 2 - Fans elicit the damage model, however, only a weary smile. Also a pity that no repair of the race rolls is required. They look after each event like new. Who the
Gas foot no longer off the pedal it moves quickly up a total loss. Thanks to rewind I turn back the clock a few seconds, and come close to my Total Crash in again. Racing professionals can disable the feature.
full throttle through the middle: order to collect money for the down counting timer dash a few seconds, I distributed by the yellow line on the stand.
whom the career mode, time is too boring, able to fight a duel over the local network and the Games for Windows Live client with up to eight other players in the previously introduced disciplines. This works without any problems and other games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 could still cut off a slice of the Multiplayer bug free and easy connection.
Although the race modes be quite abundant, so the fleet is still rated a bit short. Although I find many different classes such as off-road buggies, Raid T1, Trophy Trucks and Stock Baja before, I stand in total but only about 30 cars in my garage. Also, the tuning is meager. Except for a few new paint colors and frills like my loose-head for the dead rider houses there is not much. Only at the wheel suspension, ground clearance and co. something must be screwed around. As would be still much room for improvement have been. Similarly, the poor route selection. The approximately 24 tracks are very varied, much to the good 15 hours of playing the career mode, but not enough. Quickly, I know every curve, every tree and longing for new and challenging routes. Here also a lot more would have been possible.
From behind the wheel!
Who has played the predecessors of the McRae series will be surprised about the driving physics. In Dirt 2 is more arcade racing simulation since, much to my delight. Sun I have the predecessor of the series left relatively cold. Simulation fans are likely to be less enthusiastic about the arcade-heavy feel. The vehicles control a total grip and the fun is clearly in the foreground. It is a blast with full force around the bend to slide or to abuse a bump at full speed to jump. For me as an old Trackmania and Flatout 2 - Fan, the control feels a little spongy at first in something, after a few laps but I am used to it. Who in any case, as I prefer to drive controller who is happy with every small bump or slide over the force feedback effect. Thanks to the balance between demand and control fun, it creates Colin McRae: Dirt 2 produce a mixture of simulation and arcade racing game. Challenging, but also feasible for fun riders and genre newbies.
One, two or three : Thanks to the good control and the different difficulty levels, even beginners have a good chance of placement.
Conclusion: exotic fun!
Pure driving games are not for me. So I could start with the predecessors of the series not very much. I want most of all fun and it does my Colin McRae: Dirt 2 lot. But the sound of my wummige Cruiser Toyota F2 when I kick down the accelerator pedal and the engine howled, can I get goose bumps. The matching Soundtrack and the excellent speakers complete the rally experience. The beautiful graphics me brings tears to the eyes. The landscape is almost too good to just flat out through they race through. Rather, it invites you to admire. If I just did not feel like the career mode, I turn to my friends in the local network or over the Internet a few Runden.Schade only that route and vehicle selection will be somewhat poor. Why can not repair my car and drill out how can I put it in a Need for Speed ? Also I miss the weather changes and events over frozen lakes. Racing simulation fans will be disappointed with the arcade-heavy feel. Despite the small drawbacks, for me Dirt 2 in any case what is probably the prettiest racing game with great fun and definitely a worthwhile purchase!
