This Friday! Friday! Friday! Codemasters is offering the first in-game look at Dirt Showdown. Virtual drivers smash! dash! bash! and crash! for your amusement in a trailer and screenshots, giving a gander at how Codemasters is amping up the action in this offshoot of the once-sim-y racing series.

As well as a Demolition Derby mode, Dirt Showdown will pack stuntastic freestyle driving in Hoonigan mode, and full-contact racing on obstacle-strewn tracks. If you're simply looking for a quiet drive in the countryside, you'll have to look elsewhere--doubtless there's a niche German simulator to fulfill your desires.

Dirt Showdown is slated for release on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in May. Check out the first batch of screenshots here.

      As someone on facebook said, this is probably what FlatOut 3 should have been. I look forward to checking it out and then patiently waiting for a more rally focused version later.

      Anyone remember that top-down arcade game Demolition Derby from the late 80s. I loved the shit out of that game. It was always better to drive backwards.

      Looks a lot like Reflection's Destruction Derby games for PC / PSX in the 90s.

      Anyone play Test Drive: Eve of Destruction? This looks to be somewhere between that and the old DD games. Looking forward to it. Codemasters does a fantastic job with their racing games.
