Dirt 2 Review for the Wii
Dirt 2 for the Wii flopped at our house. While racing games are not our favorite types of games, we like our Mario Kart and Need for Speed. But Dirt 2 missed the mark in so many ways and simply isn’t worth the money for our tastes.
Dirt 2 was boring. It was no different than any other racing game and certainly didn’t have the appeal of a Need for Speed or Burnout. There were limited track choices. And, while you could certainly unlock a few tracks, we couldn’t stick with the game long enough to get them.
You do get to choose your favorite car depending on the type of race and the terrain. But the Wii remote doesn’t make the control of the car easy, and it seems to be overly sensitive. So I ended up banging into the guardrails over and over.
If you’re looking for a good racing game, Dirt 2 is not one of them. And, it didn’t hold my son’s attention for more than 20 minutes
