A Colin McRae: DiRT 2 regional virtual racing competition on Playstation3 will kick off across the region in September 2009. The prize? A brand new Nissan 370Z – as featured in the game.

To stand a chance of winning, be sure to register on www.dirt2arabia.com once it goes live next month.

DiRT 2, which will be released in September on all the popular games consoles, will also feature local rallying hero and FIA Vice President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem as one of the featured racers alongside such legendary wheelmen as Ken Block.

‘Working closely with Codemasters’ team to develop a digital version of myself was a surreal experience,’ recalled Ben Sulayem.

The new game will feature a roster of contemporary off-road racing events, ‘taking players to the most diverse and challenging real-world environments. This World Tour will have players competing in aggressive multi-car and intense solo races at extraordinary new locations, from canyon racing and jungle trails to city stadium-based events,’ says the press release.

If our screen grab is anything to go by, it’s set to be a thrilling game.

Hal Bame, Director Distributor Territories Codemasters said: ‘We believe the entire GCC region is at a tipping point in the video game industry and plan on investing heavily in product, on-line and overall marketing activity, in order to maximise what we feel is a market tailor-made for Codemasters’ portfolio of products, including our official Formula 1 game lineup in 2009 and 2010.’

Rami El Hussein, Managing Director of game distributor Pluto added: ‘We are sure that Colin McRae: DiRT 2 will be a huge success in the region where gaming enthusiasts and racing fans can choose to play with or compete against [former] UAE champion rally driver Ben Sulayem.’

You can't play as MBS, he's a non-playable character - a mentor that the character that the player must foster a professional relationship with in order to unlock new cars and tracks. Bash people off the track and he'll get annoyed and you won't progress. It's apparently a game that will reward driving manners. Reply
