Guys....
Just now completed split second and I am ready,eager and dying to share my experience with gamers out there, as this turned out to be a kick ass of a game.......To start it belongs to Burnout Genre, but I enjoyed this far more than Burnout. (This is on PC I am talking about).......
But before we actually judge this game, you have to understand that this racer game does not much depend on Racing simulation, rules or regulation, but just one thing ..... "How to get you bloody opponent blown off the track" .... :mrgreen: and the game succeeds very much with it.......its a arcade style combact racing game.......the idea is that we can trigger certain explosions laid on the track creating the distruction of the surroundings and thus blowing off your opponent........add to that great graphics, super speeds and thunderous sound effects and you got your self a thoroghly enjoyable game......
If anybody has seen the movie "Death Race" this game has exactly the same feel to it. Imagine an out of control airplane (triggered by an opponent)thundering toward you on a track which is the Airport itself and you somehow been able to manage zip past by that plane inches away at a speed of 200kmph......
Or when you demolish couple of your opponents by dislodging a huge concrete beam over them and you zip past by through the explosion itself.............truly satisfying man, specially with a woofer speaker system.
GAMEPLAY ::: Hows the gameplay.....amazing, fast and pacy, developeres have made sure that the action never slowes down even after you take a hit. You earn your power by drifting, drafting, jumps, when your power meter is enough, icons appear on your opponents that you can trigger the explosion, but appearing the icon is not necessarily at the correct time, so timing is something you have to adjust by your self. The interesting part is when your power meter is full and red then you are ready to trigger some HUGE explosion.....like a whole power plant, or a huge bridge, or a neuclear reacter......this not only can take 3,4 of your opponents at once but also changes the course of your game by creating an all together alternate Track ...... absolute cool......
GRAPHICS ::: Graphics are at par with todays gen games, though not as good as Burnout PC. But explosions and devastations are shown pretty neatly and are done very well. (Assuming that you are playing 1080p resolution with all settings set to high. 6.8/10
SOUND ::: That is where the game actually excells. It demands to be played on a Home Theater or a good 2.1 setup. The sound of explosions are huge and thunderous and you are simply thrilled by devastation. Developers have made the sound track in such a way that car engine is min, Game background score is second and the rest explosions and distruction is max, which is exactly the game of this kind needs...........8.5/10
