GameSpy wrote: 'Dirt: Showdown delivers bargain-basement entertainment value for the high, high price of $50. With its neutered physics, limited driving venues, clunky multiplayer, and diminished off-road racing options, discerning arcade racing fans should just write this one off as an unanticipated pothole in Codemaster's trailblazing Dirt series.'
PC Gamer wrote: 'Dirt: Showdown provides thrills while it lasts, but afterwards you're left wanting the deeper experience of its parents'.
