Season Two again added six cars and three courses, but this time around there were some new Rallycross (Rx) courses added to spice things up a bit. In addition to all this though, this first season introduced a few extra liveries to use, but to be honest, with my preferred viewpoint of being nailed to the front bumper it isn’t something I felt the need to use.
DIRT RALLY 2 SKIN
Chicanes make me sad, as when you’re on the raggedy edge of a corner, holding onto grip by the skin of your teeth, and being told by the co-driver “Chicane, Right Entry” usually means that I will regain control of the car on the left hand side of the road, just in time to crash into a stack of hay bales.
DIRT RALLY 2 SERIES
Lastly in this season comes the Germany Rally – a twisty series of tarmac ribbons, with some very nasty chicanes thrown in for good measure. The Sweden Rally is again a slip-sliding riot of a course, as deep snow surrounding the stages actually makes it quite hard to crash out, as you instead bounce the car off the snow banks. However, get it wrong, drift off a corner, and you’re in a world of hurt, with terminal car damage being only one misjudged hairpin away.
Starting in Monte Carlo, this track is a lot of fun, especially in something low-powered like the Mini Cooper, as with its icy bends it’s almost possible to drift the entire track, and you have a serious amount of fun doing tearing around. In addition to the cars, the three rallies added a multitude of extra stages to the game. Obviously the latter is in there, as every rally game needs an Impreza in it somewhere. The cars were iconic for rally fans, adding the Citroen C4 Rally Car, which gave Loeb such a great run of results, the Skoda Fabia Rally that was used by Colin McRae, the BMW M1 Procar Rally, the Opel Manta 400 rally car (the road going version was the first car I ever crashed in real life, fact fans!), the Ford Focus RS Rally 2007 and the Subaru Impreza. So, Season One then and this was a modest start to the journey, adding six cars and three new rallies. The new DLC that is present here initially arrived in seasons, and what I’ll try to do here is give an overview of each and what they added. Well, this has more than been addressed in the DLC route map that Codemasters set out, along with a number of new cars and liveries being added. A glaring deficiency for a game released on console.If you are an enthusiast with an expensive simulation set up, maybe there is fun to be had here, but for the average and even some hardcore gamers out there, there is only disappointment in one of the most inaccessible games I’ve ever had the misfortune of paying money for.It has to be said that the base DiRT Rally 2.0 game was well received, with this very website giving it a storming 4.5/5, but one of the criticisms that was levelled at the game early on was that there didn’t seem to be as many tracks as many people would have liked. And if that wasn’t enough the game is almost unplayable on a gamepad at anything over even modest speeds. Likewise there is shockingly no tutorial or education content in the game so you are left to figure out all the complex mechanics out on your own, all the while loosing in game cash you need to repair said vehicle. You routinely spend more to repair your cars than you earn in events leading to a cash vortex where 6 figure vehicles sit unused because you can't afford to drive them. Codemasters has decided that the best way to guide players is not to reward good play but punish poor performance. Codemasters has While the game is beautiful and technically impressive the design philosophy behind it is flawed at best and cruel at worst.
