loved the first game.
akll they need to do is put in more weather options and i'l be happy. being unable to choose what time of day and the severity of the weather is what killed the replay value for me.

DIRT sucked sweaty donkey balls. Wish Codemasters would make a proper rally game again!

in my humble opinion all they need to do with dirt is move the front wheels to the front of the car, as opposed to having them in the middle of the car; giving the whole steering a pivot feel.

How about a true representation of the sport as a tribute to him, rather than all that dumbing down and crap they keep adding?

Could not agree more. GRID was the same, but at least that was entertaining.

Gavin Raeburn is a twonk, when he ran the TOCA studio, laughter meant you were not working and was worthy of a telling off. Headphones were banned as you apparently cant listen to music and work on art etc at the same time...
Those of us upstairs in 'Red Studio' (CMR) used to poke fun at our poor beleaguered colleagues. /facepalm.
I think its great that the guys who got dumped by Sega got picked up by Codies, but its a shame that they are under the authority of Captian ass-hat - who im sure is the reason some left codies in the first place :/

I think it's great the Colin McRae name will continue to front the Codies rally game. Keeps his good name in the public eye and people can continue to remember him through playing the game. Fantastic news all round!

It might have been a nicer tribute if they'd called it 'Colin McRae: Legend' or 'Colin McRae: Champion Edition. As it is, it's more like 'Colin McRae: SHiT''

"Resurrecting" may not be the best choice of words...

+1. I never understood GRID. The previous Collin rally games were so good! The handling in GRID was a joke.

Colin McRae DiRT was a pretty good game, the only downside was that it had virtually nothing to do with...... Colin McRae, apart from his name and a special stage race against a Subaru Impreza with his name on it, no voice or anything, which kinda ruined it. Now he's passed on there'll never be a 'true' McRae game ever again. It should have been called Travis Pastrana: DiRT because he had a major role in the whole bloody game!

The first step should be changing it from a track racer with dirt textures instead of roads into a rally game again.

i have waited for a long, well anticipated time for codies to release a 'high def, up to date RALLY GAME' .
DIRT was a waste of time, i have never heard colin mc rae shout the likes of, 'we kicked butt', or whatever rubbish the drivers come out with, its sad really, i feel there is a huge fan base for genuine rally games like colin mc' 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, which to be fair all improved with technology. however dirt, sega rally, nfs, ETC, have all struggled to match a winning formula from nearly desert strike days on the mega drive. i may sound stuck in my ways, but i feel codemasters sold their souls and every rally fan to the hill climb gang, NOT INTRESTED, STILL WAITING FOR PROGGRESSION ON THE COLIN MC'RAE FRONT AFTER COLIN MC'RAE 4. **** BUGGIES AND LORRIES, GIVE ME ALL WRC CARS TO RACE ONLINE.
