Dirt 2 for $6

I got it with my 5850. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise since I wasn't really into driving games.

I had a TON of fun with this game. It's very well done, lots of variety. The only downside is there is less of a focus on pure Rally, which is my favorite event type.

Anyway, if you're a fan of racers, I'd pick it up for 6.
 
Would my 7800GT be able to play this? (AMD 1090T otherwise...win7 pro, 12G ram)
 
I'm actually playing the original DiRT right now and enjoying the everloving hell out of it. This is the most fun I've had in a racer since NFS:Underground. I was just racing a freakin' Kenworth (big 18 wheeler)! Crazy fun! And the eye candy is to die for... so I can only imagine DiRT 2 is even more of the same.

Errrr...prob would run it..but at low res and lots of stuff turned OFF or down. I attempted to run in on an old spare PC (was waiting on parts for my good one) and it had a 7600GT...wouldn't run well enough to actually enjoy it. Wasted my time on the 10gb transfer/download! LOL.

As for the game itself...I REALLY like it. I bit on it a while back..same deal on D2D. (Originally thought I got it thru steam, but then remembered it was Grid I got on Steam)
 
I got about 3-4 hours out of this one. Came free with my 5850. The rally events were super fun, but I really didn't like racing the trucks or doing the street stuff. I got sick of playing through the other events to get to the rally event. That being said, I'm weird and like playing the same course over and over trying to learn the turns and improve my times, so others might enjoy the other modes more than I did.
 
This is a no-brainer if you like any sort of racing. I thought it was a great deal on Steam a few months back at 9.95. This blows that out of the water. I've had nothing but fun running online with Dirt2. The only thing I don't like is unlocking items...I just don't have the time and so I usually move on well before all content is unlocked.
 
i actually bought the doctor who episodes because my wife likes the series on BBC and they were actually pretty cool if you liked the show. 5 bucks for episode 1-2 , 12 bucks for 1-4

Actually, D2 isn't really in the same vein as D1.

D1 has better tracks and more variety. You actually have weather in D1. However, the AI is less competitive than D2.

D2 has better graphics, though, lacks in depth car tuning and weather. AI is more competitive.

It's a trade off. Both are very fun games. However, I think Dirt 1 was the better game from a purely racing standpoint.
 
I got it with my 5770. Took me about 20 hours to beat all the races. Got super repetitive towards the end. I'd say it's worth $6 especially if you have a DX11 card.
 
Will not work on XP(x64)... just a warning. The GFWL is horked on this game and will never create a save file.
 
I bought a game from D2D last year and now it's disappeared from my account. I just tried to buy Dirt2 and some other games and it keeps refusing my Paypal payment and keeps telling me D2D has a server error. Real professional. I think I'll stick with steam/
 
Great game! Graphics look very nice and it is very well done overall. I've played many hours of this game. Recommended ++
 
Website keeps kicking game out of my cart, I can't cumposively spend money. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
 
Well, I broke out my trusty Thrustmaster T2 wheel from the closet but no gameport! Tried an old SB Live 5.1 Platinum, no dice. A reaaaaally old Diamond soundcard, same thing. I guess time to head to Fry's for a new wheel because I don't think my fingers can stand the abuse of using the arrow keys to drive anymore. Great Game though. Damn Hot Deals always ends up costing me way too much.

Dude even steam has issues from time to time, they may be bogged down because of all the deals right now. Lot's of people have used d2d without any problems. Stuff happens, has nothing to do with professionalism
 
cool, I grabbed a copy :) I normally like racing games on the consoles, but I guess my logitech wheel will work. $6 is great, thanks OP
 
huh, anyone remember if you can use the key to register it on GFWL? I assume all GFWL games are the same no matter where you get it but I dont remember.

also you can get $5 off $15 or more. So Dirt 2 + serious sam 1&2 for $13. Or whatever else. Coupon code PAX.

scratch that, I'm going for Dirt 2 + Secret of Monkey island 1&2 bundle + 2 defense grid map packs for $10.50. Looks like dirt 2 uses GFWL with this version if people on other forums are to believed.

I think this game is best played with a xbox 360 controller.
 
Just scored Dirt2 and the Lucas Arts Adventure pack. That includes Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, LOOM, and The Dig. 5 games for 11 bucks is a slammin' deal :cool: I loved the Fate of Atlantis as a kid, awesome game!
