| BLUR | | Posted on Monday, August 09 @ 11:25:40 EDT by Suislide | fhouse writes "Another vehicle combat game with shitty graphics and boring tracks, but with better multiplayer.
Ok well everyone compares this game to Split/Second. I'll tell you it's fun with more variety and tactics in gameplay but it's shit compared to SS in terms of production value.
Graphics
Well the game lives up to it's title because the graphics are blurry as hell.
The game tries to aim for this neon glow art style which looks ok in the menus but fails in the game.
The effects are overused especially the bloom effect.
There are low-res textures used everywhere and the cars don't look very special either.
I understand that displaying up to 20 vehicles on track takes a lot of processing power but still, this is not an excuse for the awful track design.
Sound, music
Boring! The music is mostly drum & bass, which creates an annoying, chaotic mass of NOISE along with the shitty engine and powerup sounds.
Music: OFF
Gameplay
You take your licensed awfully understeering vehicles and pick up powerups placed around on tracks to shoot the crap out of other racers.
These powerups are really boring and standard: Mine, Shield, Shunt (homing missile), Shock, Nitro, Barge (shockwave), Repair. But at least you can play tactically and fire some of them forwards and backwards as well. Later on you'll be able to mod some of your powerups and add some extra gameplay mods to the races.
The single player campaign has only 3-4 types of races, but the multiplayer part can become quite addictive, as there is a level up system used.
Get prepared for the PC port issues: You cannot customize your keyboard mapping, you'll have to choose from 2 layouts. Brilliant, so you might want to use your trusty gamepad instead. Fuck these lazy developers and their console ports.
By the way, I hate when I can't see my X360 controller's mappings in the menus, even when it's connected you still see the keyboard icons displayed. (Note: This issue is also present in SS.)
Summary
Audiovisual crap that can be fun with friends. (If you have any)
6/10"

in the beginning cave men jumped around rubbed their armpits and threw rocks here and there, much like the planet of apes and by accident the rocks bounced back and made some sort of rock music.....and so in the future one can assume gigahertz would be the new sound spectrum, a farcry from the limited 20hz-22khz, where d&b would become insignificant, unheard of....same fate meets for any type of non-synthesized music....synthesis is the way |

And they dance ALONE holy fuck, anyone who dances alone in a floor full of people has to be dickless. they actually believe that their music is superior thus compensating the weakness of their own.
but the truth is: they exist on a lesser level of being only able to comprehend and digest all things in their lowest basic primitive form. they watch and listen shit, and can't understand anything that's at normal or high level. but because of their arrogance they think that other music is no good. they don'r understand it because it's just more complex for their tiny brain.
yes, we have the stuff of gigahertz but still use it for music that can be produced by cavemans with rocks. rythm is only a single part of the bigger subject that is music. it's like hearing only the cymbal from a symphony of a thousand instruments..
but that can't fit through their extremely narrow range they chose to sense the world. |

I like d'n'b, it's a very good music to listen and dance to, I just found it's annoying together with all the sounds you hear in this game. I hope it's clear now.
And they are licensed tracks, for example:

I can't put it down, multiplayer is so addictive.
Now I kinda like the graphics as well. There are some cool technical shit programmed in it. the motion blur has some cool noise effect on it so it's not jut a blurry crap.
The photo mode is also awesome. |
