Dirt 2
A 2009 rally racer that still holds up if you want challenging off-road driving without the simulation overhead.
GamerScout Verdict
Solid 2009 rallier that still scratches the off-road itch without modern bloat, though multiplayer is likely dead.
Compare Prices(2 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Dirt 2
Dirt 2 strips away the pretense of being a full racing sim and just lets you drive rally cars through mud, snow, and gravel. Codemasters nailed the handling model here - vehicles respond to terrain and weather in ways that feel tactile without needing a wheel rig to enjoy. The single-player campaign is straightforward: progress through event types, unlock new cars, repeat. No story bloat, no season passes, just rallying. The graphics have aged reasonably well for a 2009 title, and the track variety keeps things interesting across different continents and conditions. What keeps it from being essential in 2024: the AI can feel predictable, and online multiplayer is likely defunct. If you're after a pure driving game that respects your time and doesn't demand a sim-racing setup, Dirt 2 delivers. Anyone looking for modern rally refinement should skip ahead, but for retro racing nostalgia with legitimate handling depth, it's worth a session or two.
