Dirt is cool and all, but when are we going to see another Rallisport Challenge? 2 doesn't even work on the 360! :(

Finally someone else that's played rallisport challenge. It used to be great, but I haven't heard anything from them for ages.

RS2 is still the best rally game IMO. From my understanding the RS brand is Microsoft exclusive and DICE is now an EA company, so there are some issues. I don't really understand why but yeah...

Let's hope that DX11 will be worthwhile, the full object-motion blur effects in Crysis look nice when I finally had the chance to run it in DX10 vs DX9. : )

What ever happend to WRC that was heaps better then Collin Mcrae. I have the first DIRT but din't like it as much as WRC. Anyone here remeber VRally on PSOne good times, good times we used to have races of that to see how would have to go pick up the pizzas.

Last time I played Rally in GT it was like driving on marbles has that got any better don't know if I ever played GT4. Bring back WRC stop this Tony Hawks/Matt Hoffman rally game its far to Xtreme for me.

That's GT4 buddy. GT5 is super far from GT4. Don't expect rallying racing to be like "marbles" on GT5 lol

This is a Day 1 purchase for me. I absolutely loved the firs DiRT game and this one looks even better.

Did you know that Dice (Battlefield peeps) did the Rallysport Challenge games? Those were good times indeed.

If this game is a Motorstorm in disguise, I'll wait for GT5.

I dont think its going to be like MotorStorm, but Im not to crazy about it going in the "Extreme Sport" direction. Hopefully it will stay true in "the rally" portion of the game. And its hard to believe the EA never wanted to whore out the RALLI Sport brand on all consoles. Oh well maybe one day DICE will wanna take a break from Battlefield !

I was thinking the same thing. Dirt with "festivals" and "events"? How's that true Rally? That looks more like Motorstorm than the original Dirt or Collin McRae Rally. I'm turned off by this game in this shape. I guess we'll have to wait for GT5 for true rally simulation or play the older Codemasters games.

Suddenly game genres are getting boring. The variety we had a decade ago is gone. Everything is narrowed down to first person shooters and extreme sports racing games with fewer exceptions each day.

The graphics may be better, but this series has really degraded aesthetically. Comparing this to earlier CMR games is like comparing a hot, classy lady in an evening dress to a hot-but-trashy hooker in a thong.

It used to be a highly stylized rally game that had this great, understated look and feel. The codriver's accent, the menus, the music, etc.- It all had a cool European flavor that made you feel like you were participating in a WRC-like event (though I know it wasn't actually an official WRC license).

Now it's chock full of "extreme", mass appeal stuff like Ken Block (I'm sorry, but I can't get over how much he looks like a complete douche), cheesy rock music, and a move toward generalized dirt racing instead of WRC-style rallying. I knew it was a bad sign when Dirt used Travis Pastrana (IIRC) instead of Colin and Co. for the voice overs. LAME.

I'm sure this'll sell more copies than earlier CMR games, but I'll pass.

I "kind of" agree with you , but I dont have a PS3 to wait and buy GT5 (never thought hey did a good job with rally anyway) and I dont see Forza 3 adding in Rally at the last min. Plus with no other rally game out there DiRT 2 isnt a bad choice.....

I totally agree with you there. Did you watch that promo video for DIRT 2 with that guy in a trailer like all Rally Drivers are Rock Stars that drink and party the night before the event. It's almost become a parody of Rally, wish they'd take CM's name off it at least.

Christ this game looks lame, I saw that Ken Block fella on Top Gear the other night, yeah he's "extreme" for racing round a desert airstrip but Jesus this game looks as far removed from the original codemasters games as you could get. Poor Colin must be turning in his grave. Can't wait for GT5, finally a game that'll put to good use the WRC license.

As usual, the origin country (the UK) is the last one to get it. And we'll probably get charged the most too.
