Published May 24th 2010. Written by Ian Dickson. Starting up Split/Second is a bit like taking a wonderful stroll down memory lane, back to a simpler time when racing games were about sliding around corners to impress your girlfriend, or driving as fas...

You’ve got to love Split/Second: Velocity. While other, more po-faced racers are influenced by real motorsports, classic marques or the hip-hop styles of underground street-racing, Split Second’s key influences are the big dumb-ass action movies of Je...

Black Rock Studio must be sick of hearing about the Burnout series. Tough. We’re not done comparing Split/Second to Burnout yet, so belt up. Burnout Paradise has to be one of the most divisive games of this generation. It was a critical and commercial...
A game so good at getting under your skin and poking you directly in the adrenaline glands, that it’s almost a bit worrying. Made us punch the air and shout ‘YES!’ on more than one occasion, and we’re not embarrassed to admit it. 9.0/10Print this pageU...

Reality television has gone stale. Big Brother is droning to an end, jungles across the world have been touched by so many celebrities that hacking them down no longer seems a crime, even Simon Cowell has pulled the plug on his American Idol tenure. We...

Split/Second is what I would call a beautiful tragedy. It starts out memorable, and initially blew me away as I imagine it did with so many others. With its tight controls, a wide array of vehicles and expansive, twisting tracks, it has a lot of things...

I had a chance to preview this game a few months before it came out in the Middle East. Since it was demoed inside a theatre, the demo showcased how the game would look like. At that time, it reminded me of the Burnout games I used to play before. Neve...
Superb graphics. Awesome visuals.
None to mention.

Simulation racers and I don’t generally get along. I appreciate their attention to detail, and how accurately the digital cars recreate the experience of driving the real thing, but it’s all a bit boring. Outside of Mario Kart, arcade-style racers have...

At its core, Split/Second is a racing game. What is unique about this racing game, however, is the action. By having the game based on a TV series, Black Rock Studios set themselves up to milk everything that is glamorous about Hollywood: fancy compute...

I first downloaded the demo for Split/Second about two weeks before I received the full game for review. I came away from the demo with a poor taste in my mouth and it made me apprehensive about playing the full title. Then I played the first few races...

Explained simply, Split/Second is a tour de force of cataclysmic track destruction that challengers gamers to alter the circuit they're driving around, rather than use weapons or power-ups, to hinder opponents and ultimately drive themselves closer to...
Split/Second is an original concept made irksome by a lack of depth and highly questionable balancing in the gameplay. Nonetheless, we can't help but feel that there's a lot more mileage left in Blackrock's big idea. If a potential sequel were to injec...

Speeding down an airport runway in a shiny red sports car is cool; speeding down an airport runway with an out-of-control aircraft thundering toward you is insane. That's the idea behind Split/Second, an arcade racer in which you wreck your opponents b...

by Arthur GiesAs much a Kart racer as an arcade racing title, Split/Second is as predicated on screwing over other competitors as finding a perfect driving line. The premise is simple: as a contestant on the television show Split/Second, you'll race ag...
In the end though, Split/Second has so much going for it that it's easy to recommend for kart and arcade racing fans alike. The visuals are great, the sound impresses, and there's enough game between the singleplayer season mode and fun multiplayer to...
