Though there maybe a few to many in the end. For example, fans were eager to see more rally cross due to it's popularity in the previous game and DIRT 2 answers that eagerness with many more rally cross stages. It's more about the quantity of certain rally types rather then their originality. Of the rallying types you'll be handling, few if any can be classed as new to the franchise though all have seen improvements in some way or another. Codemasters have clearly listened to the complaints of fans and improved the overall handling of the cars and though things can still feel a little to floaty on the odd occasion, it's a welcome change from the unpredictable handling of the previous instalment. Now while the online as seen some obvious improvements over it's predecessor, it's not the only department to see development. Much like it's predecessor, DIRT 2's main menu is both visually stunning and accessible. Tour mode is where you'll be spending much of your time racing at the many varied tracks or stages set around the globe, multiplayer is where you'll be able to now access many more options then the previous game to play online with friends and the extras allow you to look up all sorts of pleasant little treats. On the mode side of things, you get what you'd expect from a Colin McRae game.

It needs to be seen rather then described, but it's an obvious showing of intent on the part of the developers. From within the truck you can access the usual tour mode, multiplayer, extras and of course options. Which comes in the form of your very own truck, stationed at a given location depending on where your currently racing. Almost instantly DIRT 2's more extreme visual change is on offer, with a rather unique main menu. While the original DIRT offered a much European image of rallying, it's sequel goes for the more extreme X-Games angle of which it both benefits from, and somewhat suffers for. Despite the popularity of 2007's Colin McRae DIRT, Codemasters have seen fit to re-imagine the franchise with an whole new visual style, a style that seems all to rather risky for dedicated and loyal fans of past McRae Rally games.
