So, I want to share my impressions with you.
Honestly - I'm speechless. But let's take it step by step.
To start with, I'll talk about the gameplay.
I think everyone who was going to play DiRT2 played the first DiRT. Everyone remembers that even a 5-year-old child could win there. But here it's a completely different story.
Although I'm a pro in racing of this class (I've completed all CMR, NFS), there is pressure here from the very start. The opponents are much smarter than I thought.
As for the cars, there's no such thing here as in the first DiRT. The cars drift, and very well at that; the throttle blipping is immediately noticeable. There are no complaints about the surroundings. A wonderful track with a bunch of treacherous turns, dozens of jumps and beautiful scenery - that's what a true gamer needs.
I can't keep quiet about the graphics either.
The minimum graphics settings are already better than the average in DiRT. And by the way, for average settings you don't need a monster PC. 256-512MB of video memory is enough.
The sound is top-notch as always! Even with an integrated sound card you can feel its beauty.
The soundtracks fit the game perfectly. However, there are downsides too. The main one is the difficulty of the game. It will only be accessible to those who played Colin McRay Rally 02-05. Players raised on DiRT have nothing to do here for now.

===================
If your work was not accepted,then there were certain reasons for that.

On GameTrailers a new trailer for the racing arcade was published Blur, which is being created by the studio Bizzare Creations, known for the series Project Gotham Racing. The trailer is staged, with no actual gameplay shown in it.





According to the developers, Blur will offer players everything fans loved about the Project Gotham Racing series, and even more. This is about weapons. Blur - this is not a racing simulator, but rather a racing action game, because all cars will be outfitted with various types of weapons and armor. The game is scheduled for release in early 2010.
