ThereвЂ™s something unique about pushing the limiter as you tear through the countryside and narrowly avoid coming off, or feathering the throttle, brake and handbrake and nailing the camber of each corner just right. With this in mind, thereвЂ™s a great sense of accomplishment to be had with DiRT Rally 2.0. ThereвЂ™s a fine line between pleasure and pain, and also between terminal damage and a corner cleared just right. The need to shave precious seconds off your stage time as you chase the leader for those championship points, but at the same time hoping you wonвЂ™t clip that one rock jutting out of a mountain wall or throwing off the carвЂ™s balance and ending up as a pinball between fences. ThereвЂ™s a constant struggle behind trying to push your vehicle to the limit and absolutely binning it in the process. ThereвЂ™s perhaps no better example of that than here with DiRT Rally 2.0. Jeremy Clarkson once compared racing games against real-life when he threw a Honda NSX around Laguna Seca, and mentioned that fear and self-preservation always stopped you from replicating what you did in the digital world, in the real one. I began my playthrough with a quick stage in my Lancia Fulvia along the New Zealand coastline, and despite having only 115 horsepower, the entire idea of risk and reward that underpins rally is certainly evident. ItвЂ™s suffice to say, this game is in every way a continuation of the foundation that was laid down years before.В When it comes to motorsport, rally offers a challenge and experience that is simply not present in other disciplines, and for both racing and returning fans of the series, I can gladly confirm that both translate well into DiRT Rally 2.0. ItвЂ™s been a tad over three years since Codemasters released its last fully fledged off-road racer, and in the next week itвЂ™ll return with DiRT Rally 2.0.
