IGN UK: Colin McRae DiRT 2 Hands-on

IGN UK writes: "The American flats, and a rally-spec Subaru Impreza is cutting an impressive arc through the clear blue skies. After 171 feet spent peddling thin air, it lands with a dense crunch that's soon drowned by a chorus of woots and hollers – a couple of feet either way and the impact could have quaked the driver's spine, but this has been timed to perfection; the only damage being one shattered windscreen and a wing mirror lost in the flight. Ken Block, co-founder of DC Shoes, skateboarder, snowboarder and now rally driver, is the man behind this stunt. 'I don't get nervous, because if I get too nervous it would suck,' he drawls afterwards. Besides, this little feat is nothing compared to the more serious business of threading a car through tree-lined roads at 90 mph."

The best rally games of all time

What were the genre’s greatest entries ever?

Yi-Long3081d ago

For me, Rallisport Challenge 2 (Xbox) without a doubt. Amazing gameplay, and fantastic track-design and visuals.

Sega rally 2 on the Dreamcast was my favourite, still is the greatest imo.

10 Great Racing Games That You Can Play Right Now

ASidCast: "There are times when you’ve got a lot of free time and very few games that you’d wanna play. This is a list of great games that one must play regardless of how old they get, and not playing these would just be a sin for racing fans. Most of these games revolutionized their genre and probably created their own genre in the process, while some were just too advanced for their time. If in any case you missed these, then you better search for these games and play them for a fun dose of gaming history or as a new experience entirely. "

Bad list, but to each their own.

No Forza Horizon, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa, or Grid Autosport?

And if you can throw in Trials when its not a racing game, why is there no Rocket League?

C-H-E-F3089d ago (Edited 3089d ago )

what shocked me was two games I loved during the ps2 era

JUICED and Street Racing Syndicate, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit

Then you have Forza 3, GT5, and the others you named above... smh

edit: and crazy taxi and trails aren't even racers lOl

traumadisaster3089d ago

Bought Grid 1 on pc for 2.50 last week, playing that at 4k60fps will make you feel nuts for ever spending 100's on racing games.

nowitzki20043089d ago

Says the guy who payed 100's on his 4k rig to play a racing game /s.

JK, Im sure its amazing in 4k... Its amazing in 1080p too so I can only imagine. You should try Grid Autosport, I actually liked that better than Grid.

traumadisaster3089d ago

I'll get it in a couple of years for 2.50. After I beat grid 2 and about 5 other racers I have.

Nitromonteiro3089d ago

@nowitski2004: I chose Project CARS over Assetto Corsa as a personal opinion,and Grid 1 over Autosport because the first one was great 'for it's time', autosport was good but just not that great.
Rocket League would actually be the next game if could make a longer list,really sorry on that.

@C-H-E-F: Juiced and SRS,are you serious? These are the games that defines the genre?
Hot Pursuit 2010 was Burnout Paradise with licensed carswith cops and wasn't even a better game world.
Crazy Taxi wins on the mobile platform,there are very few racing games on mobile with a open world. And the few there are,arent as good as Crazy Taxi. And racing against the clock makes does it a racing game.
