A demo for DiRT Showdown has been released today on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Steam for PC.

Featuring both a single-player race and a taste of the multiplayer, the demo comes with its own trailer.

In the demo, the single player ‘8 Ball’ race, " said Codemasters. "Players take part in a chaotic, full-impact race in the shadow of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, using boost to sprint ahead of rivals and speeding through crossover points where drivers can dodge or takedown opponents. Once players have completed the race, they can challenge a friend online to unlock the ‘Rampage’ multiplayer mode. In ‘Rampage’, eight drivers feed their appetite for destruction in an online demolition derby event, earning points for crashes, smashes and eliminations."

DiRT Showdown will be released in Australia on May 24.

Doesn't look too bad, only a simple track on the demo. Takes me back to the old Demolition Derby days, shall try the demo.

When are we going to get a new age Carmageddon?
