DiRT Showdown Reviews
Dirt Showdown
Dirt Showdown tries to tackle a tall order, and not because the game's aggressive driving is a slight tweak on the sim-based off-roading of previous titles in the franchise. The progression path of a game like Gran Turismo entices gamers with a trickle of new cars, but since Dirt Showdown has to keep and hold players' attention with exciting and unconventional ways to race, the stakes are higher. While Dirt Showdown creates a fun new avenue for the franchise, it's hard pressed to sustain its surprises throughout the entire experience. As you make your way up the career ladder, you'll hoot and holler at events like 8 Ball (the track folds in on itself and creates opportunities for jarring T-bones), demolition derbies such as Knockout (you drive opponents off a raised platform and earn double points in a last-minute frenzy), or Hoonigan's Head 2 Head races that mix enclosed rally-cross tracks with gymkhana objectives. I expected this to be just the beginning, but as I progressed up the career tiers and wanted the game to expand and offer new race types and experiences, I was disappointed that this didn't happen to the extent that I was hoping it would.
DiRT Showdown Review
DiRT Showdown is one answer to an important question: how do you make a multiplayer-focused racing game?We've all been there. Heck, I was there just the other day - take a racing game online and it's more daunting than trying to play Counter-Strike and StarCraft II simultaneously while somebody rubs jam into your eyes. The mathematical precision required to excel in a straight racer presents a steep barrier to entry, and the fact nobody who plays racing games is happy with anything other than a podium finish means that, by virtue of numbers alone, there are far more sore losers than happy winners. To succeed in multiplayer, it seems, a racing game needs far more than just racing.It could also be argued, though, that DiRT Showdown also answers the more pragmatic problem of how to wring extra value of a popular franchise and an expensive in-house engine. But by unceremoniously chopping out the sleek, nippy racing from the esteemed series, alongside the simply gorgeous cockpit views, and replacing them with bitesized events and team-based challenges, Codemasters is attempting to tap into our collective love of crinkled bonnets, battered doors and hyperbolic collisions.

For its part, multiplayer does add some options.
