excellent game
5Dirt: Showdown is a bargain, brought this for my boyfriend and I can't get him off it now. Worth the money.

Dirt: Showdown
5Dirt: Showdown is an excellent Demolition Derby game which is also a lot of fun with both the split screen and online players. There are a few extra party games online as well such as capture the flag which tends to spice things up a bit. The career mode is a little short but still fun when competing against your friends times/scores but it is definitely the online multiplayer you are going to have the most fun with.

Dirt: Showdown
3This should of been an Xbox Live Arcade/PSN game. I bought it for a decent price here at Zavvi, so don't feel that hard done by, but it's not one of Codemasters best. I used to love the Michigan Destruction Derby races on Grid, they were very popular online even a year after release. Codies obviously saw this, read the stats and saw what people liked it, and made a game which they thought would be my cup of tea. Well it's not bad, but it's not good either. There is little innovation here, or anything you haven't really seen in DiRT 1/2/3 or Grid (where's Grid 2?!). It's a mix of sort-of racing with special events (Hoonigan rubbish basically, if you know it). It is tedious stuff, going off jumps, doing donuts (American spelling in the game), blasting through markers. It's filler really. Then the actual races don't feel much like races, of course it's very arcade-ish, but Grid and Dirt did it better without the OTT. Destruction derbies aren't as much fun as you think and get old quick. There is little depth other than to "upgrade" you're cars stat's, you do not buy parts or change mechanical settings like Forza/GT. It is basic and limited. There isn't much reason to come back to the game and I've only played it for a few hours. Also the multiplayer seems very quiet after only a short time from when the game was released. Doesn't bode well. My advice is buy Grid and/or Blur. Both must be under a tenner now and are far far better driving games. Blur is wicked arcade fun, and Grid has the semi-serious realistic racing, with much more depth than Showdown.

3Dirt: Showdown is a brilliant spin-off to the series for those in need of revenge or just miss the destruction derbies. Though I am quite disappointed by how short it is, as if you blitz it the game like I did, it's done in like, a good couple of days. This should have been released as a downloadable content, rather than a full-priced game.
