The Colin McRae rally games took a dip with every subsequent release from the first one way back on PS1. The long running series returned to form with the excellent Dirt. The sequel though, bears little resemblence to its predecessors.
This is essentially Grid off-raod. Obviously using the same engine, it looks, feels and plays like Grid. As a stand alone title it is very good. The graphics, whilst embellished with a golden hue are top notch as is the sound. The menus take a bit of getting used to. You get a huge variety of different off road style racing and plent of different vehicles accompanied with the usual unlocks. However, it is simply a collection of off-road challenges across the globe plus a multiplayer.
What is glaringly absent is a rally championship mode. A staple of all of the previous CMcR games, it is missing in action. How you can have a CMcR game and not do a proper rally is beyond me.
Overall, this is a very good racing game and well worth your money, especially if you like to mix things up off-road. If you want to do a proper rally then you should get Dirt or the forthcoming WRC title.
As for the americanisation, we are used to that nowadays. You just have to look at the choice of nicknames; Dude, 'Donut', JR. Just remember to shout "Yee-ha! god darn it" every time you get an achievement and you'll get into the spirit of things.

This is the first time I've submitted a review about a game, I felt the need to after reading some of the other negative and misinformed comments on here.
I have never bought rally driving games before as tended to go for the driving sim style like Forza and Grand Turismo.
The best way to sum the game up is FUN FUN FUN, there are loads of varied beautiful looking tracks and cars, plenty of game options and excellent online multiplayer options
You can mess about with the car settings if you want but TBH get a life and just play the damn thing, the cars barrel along the tracks a break neck speed and when you inevitably bin it in to the crowd/rock face/barrier, just rewind the time and try again.
The cars handling are somewhere between arcade and simulation style, once you get used to hand breaking round hairpins you'll soon be picking up those first places.
When rally driving the co driver is clear and concise and I found that it really helped me get round the track faster.
You cannot apply the same logic you use to play sim racing games to this game, It's different, looks fantastic with no frame rate issues, plays beautifully and is just so much fun to pick up, jump in and tear up some dirt..... Yee haaaa!
If you want a sim go buy Forza 3, If you want laugh out loud driving fun? BUY THIS GAME NOW!!!

This is by far the best off road driving sim that I have played in the last 25 years,(yes I'm going back to Spectrum/Com 64 days!)
It adapts the Drift section of GRID and throws up challenge after challenge in a large range of vehicles and on all types of terrain.Increasing the difficulty level once used to the controls and vehicle handling will keep anyone entertained for hours as each race becomes very hard to win,particularly the rallying sections.
To obtain maximum brain damage from the game it is essential to connect to the HD input of your screen and use the optical surround sound facility through the appropriate amplification/speaker set up.
Anyone who likes sliding cars around will love this game and unlike the real thing there are no expensive repair bills or headaches when you hurtle down the side of a mountain!

Dirt 2 (Xbox 360)

the off-road version of Grid
Dirt 2 is more like an off-road Flatout game than a rally game. If you want an actual rally racing game for your '360 you should get the WRC games. Read more

Pathetic
I bought this game hoping it might be like a rally simulation. I was wrong. It is a ridiculous, pathetic game, for children.
