Blur Makes It To Shelves
Now I know what you are thinking, not another driving game right? Well yes it is another driving game but it is a lot different to what you might consider the average driving game. For me it plays like a cross between Forza 3, Mario Kart and Wipeout all in one and this is a fantastic effect indeed. The last game this studio made was Gotham racing but they do not play the same at all.
The races are always utter madness from the start to finish which is great. Even if you are first for the entire race you can be taken out just metres before the finish line which is what makes this game so great. It is actually the weapons or powerups in this game that remind me so much of the Wipeout series. There are actually eight powerups in total and they range from offensive ones like the bolt and barge to the defensive ones like shield and repair, they are great fun all of them.
As long as you drive to the right powerup you can have the one that you want and you can store three at a time which is good. It is really the weapons in the game that remind me so much of the Mario Kart series and the red shell is the shunt and the green shell is the shock, the mines of course act like the bananas do. Even if you are one of the best drivers in the world when it comes to Forza, Need for Speed and other driving games do not expect to come out on top here as most of this is about avoiding getting hit rather than winning.
Back in the real world you won’t find anything like this when it comes to car leasingand new Audi and you won’t find that your reverse parking sensors fire off heat seeking missiles, sorry about that.
