Slam dunk

You’ll be able to quench your thirst for crumpled bonnets today, when Codemasters smashes a demo for the upcoming DiRT Showdown onto the PlayStation Store. The teaser will feature two events, including a solo single-player race and a “devastating” multiplayer demolition derby event.

The single-player race will see you participating in a “full-impact race in the shadow of San Francisco’s Golden Gate bridge”. Meanwhile, the multiplayer event focuses on the Destruction Derby-inspired mode we mentioned in our recent DiRT Showdown preview.

If you download the demo, you’ll also be able to register for RaceNet, a new social network service designed to unite all of Codemasters’ racing games. There's a trailer embedded below.
