Looking Forward to Dirt 2

I just read the preview build review of Dirt 2 by Codemasters.

One thing that has been seriously missing from my simulation racing with Forza 2, since parting from the PS2 Gran Turismo games, has been rally/dirt racing. I absolutely love sliding cars around and racing over jumps. I have been getting some kicks from watching the Summer X Games since they started including Rally-X.

I played the demo of Dirt, but after reading reviews I was turned off by the lack of on-screen multiplayer racing. True, it's more of a nod to time trial racing, like Pike's Peak hill climbing, but I like to have my option of smashing into people in real-time.

I'm putting this on my list for the next racing game to seriously check out.
