Pretty damn good dirt/rally racer. I suggest the first DiRT over this though. Much more variety in race types. This is still a very good rally game though, make no mistake.

Amazing arcade style racer. Over the top, 400MPH, mile-long jumps, skipping off water, landing on dirt, drifting into ice patches then crashing into a pole and doing a 1080 rodeo and landing on your face from just about any style of 4 wheel racing there is.

Has a huge community worldwide and a seemingly endless amount of usermade tracks/servers out there. You're bound to find something you like. Not to mention the rage happy prepubescent douchebaggery you'd find in other games doesn't exist here. People log in to race, if you beat then they say GG and its on to the next map. Games like this are rare these days so definitely check this one out!

Oh man where to begin. Many people have compared this to Origins but honestly I would rather treat it as a brand new game, not a sequel. Graphically it's very nicely done as expected from Bioware coupled with a nice score and decent enough voiceovers. The overall feel is bit more Mass Effect 2ish by having all the NPC interactions done via "chatwheel".

I wish I could write a proper review of this just to give people a good understanding on how this game fails miserably compared to Origins but taken as a standalone game without expectations its overall a very good game. You'll get your 40-50 hours worth of gameplay certainly and the overhaul to the combat system is truly intense. At times you might forget that you're playing an RPG and think you're playing an action game.

I don't think Bioware failed with this game at all, but they should've named it something other than Dragon Age 2, perhaps Dragon Age: Kirkwall then kick some ass on the real Dragon Age 2.
