Split Second

Yes, it's by Disney. So was that one racing game "Pure." Beilieve it or not, Disney knows how to make racing games. And this one looks epic. The essential theme is: blow crap up. By driving well (using drifts, overtaking opponents, getting sick airtime, etc) you fill up your "Power meter." Once this is filled enough, you can activate certain events on the map. The more power you have, the bigger the events you can activate. The biggest thing you can do is a "route change" in which something major happens to the track (ie a bridge blowing up while racers are on it or a helicopter firing missles into a tall building that proceeds to collapse onto the track) changing the entire track for the rest of the race. It looks intense and the replay value looks pretty high since no two races will ever be the same experience. Comes out May 18th. What do you think?

Could be interesting. I've always hated racing games, but this just might be fun. Explosions ftw.

Wow, that looks pretty impressive for Disney... I recently got Need 4 Speed: Most Wanted and haven't gotten the chance to really play any other racing games but this one looks fun.

I got the demo on my 360. It was pretty fun, I can see it being a hit online.

I haven't played a racing game in a while. This definitely looks good. I'll probably get it before the end of the year. Hopefully summer.
