It’s not an easy task for sure, but it’s one that can be mighty rewarding. Folks have to take the knowledge their co-driver is offering, the map that is provided and the terrain all into account, all while having 100 percent focus on what’s in front of them.

It takes a lot of work, a lot of credits, and a lot of dedication to get your stable of cars and your team where you want them to be.Īs I hinted at above, the handling in DR2 is refined and on point, and requires full knowledge of the car, venue and weather to be even remotely successful while racing in a championship. What I love about the implementation of this is the difficulty of actually building your team. As the game states, “the challenges of putting in the garage work to fine-tune a ride for a performance catering to a specific racing style, managing component upgrades, and developing a supporting team of staff,” is what’s at play with this mode. On top of everything else, DR2 offers My Team, which gives the user the opportunity to create and develop their own team of technicians. While the difficulty level has definitely been amped up from its predecessor, the feeling of accomplishment I had when succeeding made up for the cramped hands and runny eyes that sometimes coincided with my time spent with DR2. If you’re thinking to yourself “well that doesn’t sound fun at all,” I think you might just have to see for yourself. The game forces you to have complete focus at all times while racing, and the slightest mistakes can either be instantly terminal or cause issues throughout the championship that will produce less than desirable results.
If that sounds like hyperbole, trust me, it is not, as the challenge that is presented is real. It’s a daunting task for sure, and one that requires a real commitment. From start to the finish, DR2 pushes the user to understand each car, each venue, and the external factors such as weather and terrain. Rarely does a company challenge its community to master its game in the way that Codemasters does with Dirt Rally 2.0 (DR2). While the rally market may be considered a bit niche by some, Codemasters’ approach and mindset was to deliver a full-blown rally sim experience to the community. To try and keep things moving in that direction, Codemasters has returned to its off-road simulation series, this time releasing Dirt Rally 2.0 - the follow up to its critically acclaimed Dirt Rally.
Between Milestone, Codemasters and others, the racing genre is alive and well.
