Split/Second is an intense action racing game set within a reality television show. Competitors will vie to be the first to the finish line in a made-for-TV city set rigged to blow with the ultimate goal of becoming the season champion. Players in Split/Second don’t just collide with other vehicles to knock them from the track, but can also trigger devastating events that drastically alter the dynamics of the race. Players must use pinpoint timing to obliterate huge structures and towering TV set pieces to tactically alter the track or create entirely new routes.

A game undeservedly missing without a sequel...
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version

It's driving, it's challenging, it's cinematic... and it doesn't work well on modern systems in some aspects.

However, this does not prevent you from enjoying it at least once... maybe twice... Again, the game is unique in its own way, and those who tried to follow in its footsteps did not find much success, and the sequel got lost during bureaucratic problems, so the chances of us seeing it are almost nonexistent, and the story only began to unravel towards the very end...

If you have free evening or two and you love racing games - try it.

V1CGaming's review of Split/Second
This review is for the Xbox 360 version

After playing it for an extended period of time, I think it is a great game and would recommend it to anyone who is on the fence and loves racing games. Unfortunately, the candle on this game burns out a little too quickly, with only a few modes supported for online play. If you are a fan of arcade racers then make sure you don't miss out on this title. If you aren't a fan of that type of racer be sure to try out this title anyways as this might be the one that turns you into that fan.

My save-file got corrupted halfway through the game. Apparently, I was supposed to create a backup of it or play until autosave magically repairs itself in 1-2 chapters. Since this is a pretty known issue on the forums, that totally avoided me until now, I wish Steam would pop-up an alert or something before you spend money on a broken game. The gameplay is good though, so I will probably swallow my pride and start again when I cool down a bit. In my childhood, this probably wouldn't have angered me so much, as it is now.

  • Only retired because the camera shaking in this game gives me motion sickness every time I played this game. It shakes way too much.
