DiRT Showdown gets first gameplay video

Codemasters today launched the first gameplay video for DiRT Showdown, a brand new dive-in-and-drive rush of speed, style and destruction.

The ‘Crash and Burn’ video features work-in-progress gameplay footage, showcasing the full-impact, destruction-focussed racing featured in DiRT Showdown’s 8 Ball event.

DiRT Showdown promises to be 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 will also be able to issue ‘Showdown Challenges’ to compete with friends whether they are online or not.

DiRT Showdown will be unleashed May 2012 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
