DiRT Rally 2.0 dares you to carve your way through a selection of iconic rally locations from across the globe, in the most powerful off-road vehicles ever made, knowing that the smallest mistake could end your stage.

The sensation of rubber recklessly drifting across sand, of splattering across your face and a grumpy Scotsman calling out the course before you as you violently swerve around corners. Rally racing is mental stuff and Dirt 4 captures that manic joy perfectly. The full fearless package of graphics, guts and glory.

Codemasters is looking to add another game in the muddiest genre into its arsenal: Dirt 4. Unlike Dirt 3’s garish exterior which was fuelled by the most neon energy drinks possible, Dirt 4 is going back to its roots while offering more accessible options for the weekend driver. Here’s what critics have to say about it so far.

It's time to get dirty behind the wheel again, and I'm not talking about a Christina Aguilera song. Dirt 4 races in this June.

DiRT Rally is a back to basics approach with a take-no prisoners attitude that will caution you to avoid cutting but ask you to be brave when going through a corner.

DiRT Rally is also on the way to console, and to celebrate, Codemasters is preparing to make the PC version even bigger with a free update for all platforms. They rally are.

Codemasters have made some fantastic racing games over the years, making a name for themselves in that genre. But other types of games that don’t rely on horses under the hood? Recently, they haven’t been too successful when branching out. And that’s why the UK studio is re-focusing on doing what they do best.

Buckle up, wipe the mud off your bonnet and rev your engines: There's a new DiRT rally game on the way and it's ready for testing.
