Dirt 2 Hits Store Shelves

Dirt 2 has now hit store shelves across North America for the XBox360, Playstation and Nintendo Wii. To celebrate the launch, Codemasters has produced a new video balancing the rally cross gameplay and replay action from the Los Angeles X Games inspired Estadio Del Ray stadium. Dirt 2 is the sequel to the highly acclaimed 2007 title, “Dirt” and has new race types, big event atmosphere, stunning locations, a new breed of off-roading heroes and a peerless line-up of super charged speed machines.

Rally racing’s finest, including Travis Pastrana, Dave Mirra, Ken Block and Tanner Faust, help players climb the ladder from rookies to off road racing superstars. Further immersing players into the life of an off-road star, Dirt 2′s garage is home to a premiere collection of officially licensed rally cars and off road vehicles including the Mitsubishi EVO X, the Subaru Impreza STI, the Colin McRae R4 and many others.

“With the help of pro athletes like Ken Block, rally racing has evolved and graduated to the mainstream,” said Gavin Raeburn, senior executive producer, Codemasters Studios. “We feel we’ve been able to authentically capture both the intense racing and counter-culture of the sport with Dirt 2.”
