Mac|Life has posted a new review of Feral Interactive's Colin McRae: DiRT 2. The off-road racing simulator features nine locations across the globe, a career mode and a line-up of super-charged speed machines. Mac|Life gave the game a score of 4 out of 5.

From the review:

Codemasters and Feral really did their homework on how to present a realistic rally experience; the outstanding 3D vehicle models blend perfectly with a variety of racetrack settings (including deserts, forests, and cities). Plus, a terrific particle system seems to kick up just the right amount of dust and grime, and lovingly rendered sound effects meet a hard rock soundtrack and strong voice acting to round the game out nicely.

Once you’ve racked up some progress on your own, you’ll probably want to earn some bragging rights online -- and DiRT 2 supports multiplayer gameplay via the popular GameRanger application. Simply install GameRanger, set up an account, and you’ll be able to host or join games on the fly. This worked smoothly during testing, though the number of multiplayer matches seemed thin at times, and the browser wasn’t quite as robust as what I’d expect from an integrated option.
