My 10 year old son really wanted some sort of demolition durby game that allowed him to smash into other cars. He says this is "awesome". It fit the bill exactly of what he was expecting and desiring. There are a lot of options to choose from and the graphics are really cool, according to him.

4.0 out of 5 stars Destrucion Derby for this Console Generation
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2012

Simply put, this game is fun. There's no need for long, drawn-out reviews with numerous paragraphs. It's a destruction derby game. You have 8 cars on track trying to smash each other and score the most points. You also have other modes like 8-ball which is amazingly fun. Elimination which is your typical last-man-standing event. Head-2-Head includes actual licensed cars and is essentially the gymkhana from DiRT 3. There's also a mode where the track is divided into 4 sectors and the goal is to set the fastest time.

I believe I'm forgetting a few other modes (I'm still just 5 hours into the game) but my least favorite mode has to be Knockout. Not because it's bad, but because the scoring is very...fickle. It's essentially random as to who gets the points when there are cars piled against the edge. Hopefully Codemasters fixes that.

Multiplayer is the same, except against human opponents, and this is where Showdown shines. Playing online with friends is a blast. I foresee many hours being spent here taking each other out. For anyone on the fence, do yourself a favor and try the demo on PSN/XBL. If you are at all a fan of destruction derby's/smash-em-up games, this is for you!

EDIT: one thing to note is that this game CAN be frustrating, if you let it get to you. There are numerous times when the AI manage to hook you and your spin out. This usually happens on the last, or second to last lap. It take a bit of time to get used to the AI tendencies, but once you do, it's a bit easier to predict their move and try to counter it. As I said, if you don't let it get to you, it shouldn't be a problem. Most races last roughly 3 minutes so you can always "restart" if necessary :)

dirt showdown has to be the worst "racing" game I've ever played! If I could have given it 0 stars I would have. It's not even really a racing game at all! It's 25% racing & 75% bull-s**t tricks that are so frustrating & difficult to do (even at the casual difficulty setting)it takes absolutely all of the fun out of it. I played dirt 3 & I loved it! I would recommend dirt 3 to everybody. Do yourself a favor - don't buy this game! I've had it a week now & I've given up on it. TOTAL CRAP!! I CAN"T EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, but not a must-buy
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2012
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase
I've never played a DiRT game before, so I'm not biased. However, I have played lots of racing games, so I know a good one when I play it. Since there are very few PS3 dirt racing games on the market, I really wanted DiRT Showdown, so I bought it. I had already read the reviews so was expecting the game to be about a 7.5/10.

The single player mode, called the Showdown Tour, just isn't engaging. The gameplay itself is good, but there's nothing to keep you glued to the screen. There is no storyline, which is the main reason the campaign isn't engaging. You just go from race to race with pretty much just loading and saving in between. There's no repairing or customizing cars. The upgrade system is boring and unsatisfying. Once you get 1st in a race, you can't win any more money if you do that race again, which means you have to play multiplayer to get more money to buy and upgrade all the cars. However, my biggest gripe of all is the stuttering. In the majority of the races, for the majority of each race, the game would stutter every 2 seconds or so. This sucked a lot of the fun out of the game. In most ways, Codemasters didn't do a very good job with the Showdown Tour.

After I (quickly) beat the Showdown Tour, I played th Joryide mode. I actually had more fun with this mode than I did with the Showdown Tour. The game gives you "missions," which are really just tasks, to complete and there are collectables to find all over the map. There are two maps to explore, each with three areas that you unlock one after another. But once you unlock them all, it just becomes one big map. Each area has a certain amount of collectables and 25 missions. While the collectables can be hard to find, the missions were very fun. I enjoyed doing donuts around forklifts and drifting through warehouses.

The multiplayer can be summed in up in three words: fun but buggy. It's challenging, hectic, and enjoyable but there are many bugs. Luckily, stuttering isn't one of them. In the Rampage and Knockout modes, sometimes you won't get the points you should get for hitting people. In all modes, if you hit someone, there's a chance the person you hit won't be affected. For example, in a round of 8 Ball, someone told me they hit me at an intersection and was wondering how I was able to pull so far away from him after that. However, on my screen I went right through the intersection without hitting anyone, so that's why I was able to be so far in front of him. Also, it's hard to earn cash in multiplayer. If you win a race, you'll get $10,000+, but if you lose, you won't get more than $1,000 or so. This makes it hard to get enough cash to buy and upgrade all cars for the Trophies (one Trophy for buying all cars, one Trophy for upgrading all cars). The same goes for leveling up: if you win, you'll get a ton of fans, which act as XP, but if you lose, you'll barely get any. This means it's very time-consuming to reach levels 10, 20, and 30, earning one Trophy for each. But despite all of this, the multiplayer is still fairly fun, especially if you and the people you're competing against have mics.

Playing the game with a friend is actually pretty fun. My buddy and I were playing all the Demolition modes and we were having a blast. If you like playing games with friends, you might wanna check this game out.

Overall, I give DiRT Showdown 6.5/10. There are too many things wrong with the game to give it a higher score. I'd only recommend this game to hardcore arcade racing fans, as this not a racing sim, nor does it claim to be. It tries to be a fun, arcade-y dirt racing games, but it fails to do many things right in the campaign, and the multiplayer is very unpolished.

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2012

Dirt just keeps heading downhill with every game! What is up with this game, it can't decide if it wants to be a demolition game or a drifting game!? The drifting was the worst part of the game in part 3 and what do they do they throw it the middle of a somewhat decent demolition racing and derby, it makes no sense to me? If your gonna throw in something extra how about some rally courses?
