Been playing this game for the last hour. Really pleased with the tracks they added.Some brilliant rally stages are now in the game and also a dragstrip!!

Cockpit view has really made it feel alot more real. Drivers AI seems to have improved making for more competitive racing.

So far it looks brilliant.

Just to let people know you must run disc one first be it from disc or hdd and it will ask you to install disc 2 this way it all installs fine, dont install disc 2 to the hdd before running the game disc 1 first

If you got the special edition then yes that's normal. If you pre-ordered from game (via the website) you'll be getting an email with codes to unlock a couple more cars as well...

Edit: Just checked and the third code for " This alpha-numerical code will allow you to download and unlock a Custom Painted Audi R8 V10." is in my inbox

My local shop had sold out by the time i arrived!

Went back to Dirt2 multiplayer, and then got pissed off with the bumper car tactics that people were using.

Been playing this since it arrived on Tuesday, and absolutely love it. Forza 2 has been my most played game over the last couple of years, and I think that this'll top that.


It's just like it's predecesor, but smoother, faster, prettier, and just that bit more polished.


Just done my first custom paint job




I am really loving the extra tracks and cars too, especially the rally ones.

I got my copy yesterday, when I pre-ordered it the release date was 30th Oct, so I was thinking I had got it a week early (not been online for a few days).
Only played it for an hour or so but it's definitely an improvement on a really good game. The cars can go on the kerbs with out being dragged off the track.

My GT => TheNorriFella

I love it when you can do "deals" with trade in games

Last month i bought Soul Calibur 4 for £9 delivered, traded it in today and got £8 back for it

Got £25 worth of free argos vouchers from Shell V-Power club, used them to buy NFS Shift for £13
Mind you, NFS Shift was only worth £25 trade in today the jailbait behind the counter was telling me it has been a bit of a flop and nobody is interested in buying it, they have a bit to much stock now as they were expecting it to fly from the shelves.


Where are the rally tracks?
