looks like a combination of Burnout and Need for speed. Might be fun. I wonder if ps3 will have g25 support with clutch/shifter. That might be fun. Arcadey fun!

They posted this on the US PSN two weeks ago. Looks like a great game.
 
At first look, it sounds like an interesting idea but after thinking about it, it sounds like it could easily end up as a gimmick-feature to a bland arcade racer. We'll see how it develops but it seems to me its already got a weak case if thats all its doing new.
 
This game is the biggest piece of crap I have seen piled up on a disk in a while....I got it in from gamefly one afternoon and the very next morning it was right back out to them.
 
Have the game, and it's far from being bad.
The only question is : Blur or Split second.
and that comes down to personal taste.
Direct hits (blur) or indirect hits (SS)

i love it

And Disney has made awesome games

Pure is the best quad game ever played
 
Can you explain why it was so bad?


Extremely repetitive, theme of the game is just done hokey are the main reasons I don't like it. Its an arcade racer so I didn't expect it to play that well in the physics department, which it doesn't. I played the blur demo and it was ok fun online if you just wanted to play a little but not get intensely into it. I like the "combat" system in Blur much better, I guess thats the word for it. In SS you are just going along and without warning you are out of the race because someone 11 seconds behind you created some destruction that gave you no chance of avoiding:tdown: So after leading the race for 3 laps and on the end stretch you lose your position to 6th because of ridiculous happenings like that, if I wanted annoying, cheap, underhanded gameplay I wouldn't have sold MW2. Also, I fixed your quote.
 
I can advise Blur if you want an arcade racer with real life cars and Mario Kart style destruction, very cool game. Much better than this.
 
Both games do have atrocious rubber band AI and yes, BLUR is another failure of Activision's racing games. I picked Burnout Paradise over these two and Midnight Club: Los Angeles. My reason is that Burnout Paradise has an open-world gameplay, better multiplayer mode and it's all about the ramming, the crashing as well as the jumps. I played Split/Second on the 360; it's great, but it's just too short and cheap.
