What make dirt 2 a masterpiece

Today, I would like to compare the interface of two latest racing games. One is a masterpiece, and one is bullshit. Yeah, the masterpiece is Colin Mcrae Dirt 2. It is truly a masterpiece.

Yeah, let's begin with the game starting menu. It doesn't have a menu.

What you see when entering the game is already the virtual reality. You are a racer traveling all over the world joining different kind of rally races.

I gotta say, it is fucking brilliant. I mean, one of the most important element of a game is the atmosphere. Everybody wanna become a racer, everybody wanna travel all over the world. So the interface just simply throw those menus away, and give us the feeling of becoming a real racer. Driving my little van from Europe to Africa.

So, how about the bullshit one? Yeah, its name is WRC 2011. It was published in last October, 1 year later than Dirt 2. But still, it is a crap. Look at the menu, still stay at the era of PS2. When you click up arrow or down arrow to select options.


So what about the racing interface? Well, besides interface, I gotta say WRC 2011's graphic is a disaster. Someone should be fired for the poor graphic.

And the graphic of Dirt 2?

Here's one of my dirt 2 video on youtube.
