Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
DiRT Showdown is a brand new dive in and drive
adrenaline rush of speed, style and destruction from the creators
of the multi-award winning DiRT series. Players jump into a new
world of arcade racing with pick up and play controls, speeding,
tricking and smashing their way to ‘Showdown’ finals to compete
against rivals in front of thousands of fans in a vibrant
festival atmosphere.
There are three broad categories to DiRT Showdown’s stunning
world of action-sport racing. Players will use nitrous to blast
past rivals and negotiate courses filled with ramps, multiple
routes and obstacles in racing events. Gaming’s most advanced
damage engine is pushed to its limits in demolition derby events,
where players smash and c their way to victory in
jaw-dropping, -jarring style. Finally, in Hoonigan events
gamers can demonstrate their freestyle driving skill in huge
free-roaming stunt parks with new accessible controls.
DiRT Showdown is Codemasters’ most connected game ever -
split-screen multiplayer, eight player online racing, on and
off-line quick-fire party games, and YouTube integration all come
as standard. Players can also issue new ‘Showdown Challenges’ to
compete with friends in on and off-line modes.
In the career mode, globe-trotting Showdown players will travel
from Miami to San Francisco, London to Tokyo and other famous
locations earning the adulation of the crowd at hyper-energised,
frenzied, unsanctioned race events. Over 50 different events
across four championships challenge gamers in a variety of
conditions – sun, snow, and rain - through the day and under the
floodlights at night.
With an exciting mix of licensed and bespoke cars and powered by
the EGO Game Technology Platform for phenomenal graphical
performance and stunning damage, DiRT Showdown will be the new
standard for arcade driving delirium.
