Colin McRAE Dirt 2

[Whitefire]

Heyhey

Anyone got already Colin McRAE Dirt 2? I took a look at some media and I really have to say beautiful and amazing graphic... So if someone can give some feedback about that game that would be really great, how about the fun-factor, career (if there is one), multiplayer... and all that stuff. Would be really cool to here something

Dirt2 is an awesome game. I havent played it a lot, but i already made a nice start and bought the best Subaru

In the career you begin with only a few countries to race in unlocked, and the more races you win the more cars and tracks will be unlocked.
Each country has different races to do, like, offcourse, Rally, but also a lot more i dont remember the names of A nice one is some kind of rally with more speedy tracks than hard corners.

Graphics look awesome (I play it on max with my Radeon HD 3870; but its kinda broken atm, so there are barely any games left i can play...) and also the driving style is really nice (in my opinion).

I havent played multiplayer yet and LET ME WARN YOU for one thing: You can only make ONE online account per DVD! (Which didnt even work well for me, so i was forced to give Corrado my password, so he could do some steps in registering, i couldnt do...)

If you have any further questions, just ask

First of all thanks for your feedback about Colin McRAE Dirt 2. Well yes, I've got some more questions...

Have you tried playing it with a steering-wheel? If yes, how does it feel like? Or is there a "must play with"?^^
How compact is the game with the different types of video cards (like ATI, Nvidea...) - well specially mean have you tested it on several computers, or have you read a lot troubleshootings, or something like that. Cause I know games like FlatOut Ultimate Carnage, which seems to work very well with ATI video cards but gets in trouble with some Nvidea ones... Just as an example
Is the game getting boring after some time playing the career? Or is there that much action with the different types of races that the fun-factor turns high?

Well as you said you didn't play it a lot till yet, but maybe you know something to that questions above ;D

No i havent tried to play it with a steering wheel yet, good idea to try out when i get my new videocard

Hmm ive played it on only one computer, and so did my father. Both using ati cards, works fine

And no i dont believe this game gets boring - High fun factor as you like to call it

Well i played Dirt 2 a very long time (only Singleplayer [100% finished], and yes I bought the game).
The Gameplay is rly great, the environment, the amtossphere and the handlig of the cars shows that Dirt2 is one of the best offroad-racing-games,
but theres only one thing i don´t like.
The game is great at the beginning, but at the end-game phase, around 75%, it´s always the same, the track-package of the game is just too little, but its 50€ worth.

I didn´t play with a steering-wheel, it is not even necessary, because it works perfect with the keyboard (driver-cam ftw...^^)

Most problems were caused by old drivers.
The game needs not a High-End Pc, you can play it with a GeForce 6800 or a Radeon x1550

Must have for offroad fans!

Umm.. GF6800 was my last videocard and maybe just maybe you will be able to play Dirt2 with it on 1024x768 low settings... (on a good pc, not an old one)

Yes, Dirt2 is very nice.
Like the handling of the car, love the graphics (real Codemasters quality).
But i only can judge from the demo.
Will buy the full game sometimes when i get i good deal.

I didnt like GRID at all.. its on my top 3 list of most boring games. Just as Burnout Paradise. I dont know which my 3rd game on that list would be, though...
