Quotes

Here's what we said in our Dirt Showdown review: "Showdown doesn't quite have the bite to back up its bark, but it comes close. Look past some of the randomness and you'll find hours of racing entertainment."
GodisaGeek: "Destruction in racing games has been a rich theme for a while now too, with game such as Burnout Crash! and the Need for Speed series, with the ultra-detailed damage engines and spectacular crash replays almost glorifying your pile-ups. In fact, Codemasters will be releasing their latest entry in the Colin McRae series this month, entitled Dirt: Showdown, the game focuses less on rally driving, and instead on destructive driving. The idea of actually scoring points by brutalising your competition and creating the biggest crashes possible was popularised by one game; Destruction Derby." (Destruction Derby, Retro)
...in the collective mindset for everyone in the studio that Destruction Derby was the thing to do," says Codemasters Associate Producer Iain Smith. "GRiD was important, and we saw how people reacted to Destruction Derby content. People still play that now, despite how many years it's been out."
...Slocum states "Our goal is to convince as many Amgen Tour attendees as possible to extend their stay in our area and take advantage of a vacation opportunity unlike any other by attending the Mother Lode Round Up the weekend before the ATOC and the Frog Jump in the days after."
