Colin McRae DiRT 2 was the best game released for the Xbox 360 during 2009, according to one games blogger.
Writing for the website of the Official Xbox Magazine, Mike Channell said it had been a vintage year for Xbox 360 games.
He claimed the overall standard had risen, with games such as Batman: Arkham Asylum and Assassin's Creed II wowing both gamers and reviewers.
However, for Mr Channell, one game stood out - Colin McRae DiRT 2.
The game is the latest in a franchise which carries the name of the Scottish driver who won the 1995 World Rally Championship - and also the first console title in the series since his death in a helicopter crash in 2007.
Mr Channell admitted he had been a fan of the Colin McRae games since they first appeared in 1998, but said the latest instalment is a real step forward in the series and makes the most of all the latest technology.
"DiRT 2 is a noisy, brilliant festival of speed that grabs you from the moment you're dropped into the paddock," he concluded.
