DiRT Showdown Review - Destruction Derby Meets DiRT

Take all you know about the DiRT series and throw it out the window, because Showdown is a unique specimen in this on-going series. The focus on destruction is huge, and with 13 different race types, there'll be many opportunities to twist metal. Great graphics, fluid control and lots of variety. What more could you want?

Haha, no doubt. Showdown had almost no dialogue so it was never a problem... some games can get quite bad though.
