Great to have more AAA Racing titles on the Mac!
Being a Mac Sim Racer, there are not a lot of racing games on the Mac that utilize steering wheels AND the FFB they are blessed with. So any time one comes out, I try it. But Dirt 2 was a welcomed edition to my racing game collection. It is very good on the Mac if you have a higher spec machine (though it does run on my other, slower Macs with options tuned down a bit). The control is well implemented and works great. There is a ton of content and the graphics are exceptional. Using a steering wheel like the G27, Driving Force Pro or the Momo makes the game that much more enjoyable as the FFB works very well.
PROS:
- Great Graphics
- Tons of cars and tracks
- Audio really adds to the immersion
- Steering wheel and FFB support
- AAA Presentation
- Everything can quickly be unlocked right out of the gate!
- Oh yeah, It's Colin McRae Dirt 2!
CONS:
- Steering wheel centering sometimes changes when restarted (keep the wheel centered when starting the game) -
Very nice on a fast Mac
This game is running fine on my iMac 27 i7. Along with my wireless 360 gamepad (rumble effects fully supported), it's a lot of fun to play.
I use the maximum resolution of 2560 * 1440 with the details on high, and the game is still very fluid. Great purchase if you have a fast Mac with a good video card. -
Hardware Requirements understated - terrible performance
Using MacBookPro Late 2008 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo 8 GB RAM OS X 10.7.1 NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 256 MB
Getting terrible, choppy frame rate (as low as 6FPS). Making some adjustments (smallest resolution, no other apps running) I can get 12-15 FPS, but not consistently.
Can't imagine this running on minimum spec'd system.
