Available for the Sony PlayStation 3, this release can provide a captivating experience through eight thrilling race types.

Unconventional game types like Domination and Last Man Standing can ensure that there's something here for everyone to enjoy. This PlayStation title runs on a modified version of the EGO Engine, which can provide hyper realistic physics and enhanced algorithms to handle weight transfer during those high octane passes. Real life tactics like drifting are paired along with more advanced maneuvers like the Scandinavian flick. This game can allow experienced racers to take a definite edge and produce a sense of accomplishment as you master these techniques. "DiRT 2" is also known for being the first title to utilize the Rapture3D sound engine. If your game ends, you can always try again with the Flashback ability.
