Like all modern games online play requires a VIP pass, £ 6.29 for scoundrels who dare to buy second-hand, but Showdown also goes against the trend of modern gaming, Showdown features My Old Friend Multiplayer in split screen. In head-to-head competition, you’re tasked with reaching the finish line as quickly as possible, performing specific ‘tricks’ along the way, ranging from drift and donuts to crazy jumps. One of the few non-destructive play types is Hoonigan, which looks like Jools Holland on New Years, it plays out like a Super Special scene like the Boy Racers do. You will often be swept up in the last place, unfairly punished for something almost totally out of control, but rather than feeling like a burden it adds a wonderful degree of unpredictability and will give you as good as you get.
8-ball is a tidy mix of racing and chaos, unbridled Banger Racing on an often crossover circuit. The game modes have a welcome degree of variation, and while Showdown isn’t exclusively a smashy-smashy affair, the best game modes are the ones with the most carnage. Likewise, the yet nimble feathers gain enough speed advantage to be considered, but as much as a gentle goad will have you spinning wildly into oblivion. Heavy and bulky cars feel like such and your opponents think twice before a direct confrontation. Yes, it’s clearly an arcade title but that doesn’t mean cars have to feel like they’re made of paper and dreams. The turns are sufficiently weighted so that the drifts are both stimulating and rewarding, without being too “realistic”. It really is a pleasure to drive in Showdown. That said, for everything Showdown does worse than Burnout, it does come up with something better. In that sense, it almost looks like the FIFA Street of the series, while taking a different direction from the main franchise, it still seems to be based mostly on the same game engine as the previous games with just a few tweaks to make. The ‘Crashback’ replay feature, which pops up for particularly brutal encounters, seems pointless when really big crashes very rarely seem to bring on the kind of spectacle that would warrant a repeated memory in slow motion, without the finesse of Burnout: Paradise. You can’t hear exactly what he’s saying, but you know he’s still there, making painstaking attempts at spiritual observation making Stryker, and to a lesser extent Atomika, look like David Bloody Attenborough.īitter mumbles aside, the impacts between vehicles have a satisfying impact, but you often feel like they have something to be desired. At least they had the decency to let the player turn it off, the best I can do with irritating criminal Christian Stevenson is send it half volume, which is almost worse. It’s fine to take inspiration from the Big Book of Burnout, but the decaying, termite-covered branches of this tortured metaphor? I doubt there is a single person alive who fondly remembers the parts of Burnout 3 where DJ Stryker was speaking, using the word “radical” like ordinary people use cutlery, as Criterion looked at Bill and Ted and thought ” Yes ! This is the kind of person we want to play our game ”. In the era of Monster Khaos, with a K and True LAD, we can’t just worry about what kind of suspension setup would be more appropriate in the gravel-laden New Zealand countryside, we’d rather cause serious damage to the the backbone to fictional Europeans in Vauxhall Corsas.ĭiRT Showdown is pretty much the grandest racing game ever, even the menu drops from the sky like a concrete donkey, with the whole game covered in a thick film of bright, vivid colors.
Languishing after Mister McRae aside, Showdown seems like the logical progression of the series, and as sad as it sounds, a thoroughbred rally game wouldn’t cut it anymore.

That said, a game whose primary focus is free destruction wouldn’t exactly be a fitting tribute to a man who tragically died in a helicopter crash along with his 5-year-old son and several close family friends. With DiRT 2 the last title to bear his name and DiRT 3 still possessing his “influence” and “ethics”, apparently DiRT Showdown is the perfect microcosm for this new era in the proud racing history of Codemasters, the first child of the game.

From its humble beginnings in 1998 as a licensed and official World Rally Championship game, the Colin McRae series has come a long way.
