Racing splits into hate & love in couple of seconds

User Rating: 6 | Split/Second PC
The game has too much to show but it's meaningless due to lack in basics. The game looks very attractive at first but later on you get bore.

Attraction:

Explosions, big explosions, Destruction's, power-play, air strike, survival, race. 5-6 challenges to complete in each episode.

Cars:

They look like toy cars. They are characterized by acceleration, drift etc. but you can only see that difference via its handling (controlling), speed is unknown.

Menu:

Not good. There is no need of animation in the backgrounds or on the Tabs.


HUD:

No speedometer!! I don't know at what speed am I driving & it come under racing genre. Display of position, lap & power at the back of the car.

Camera:

The view from behind the car while racing is at very low height. The ground clearance of camera is almost zero so the player can get a nice view of explosions, destruction's but it doesn't help while racing.


Game-play:

You earn power by drift draft. Use of power-play at fixed places only. 2 types of power-play level 1 & level 2. Most of the times you have to use only level 1 power-play .Control of the cars are bad. You mostly crash in the race at the corners & get wrecked if you're at 1st position. There is no way that you can maintain the lead. The car crashes when you try to dodge missiles in air strike & detonator. It is very difficult to destroy the helicopter in air revenge & get 4th or 5th place only. You just need to press two buttons (power-play) to win the race. The power-play can only be used for the cars that are in the lead.

In spite of such great animations of Massive destruction's & explosion you will not experience fun while racing. Graphics are just OK but the main issue is of low frame rate. So a good concept but some of them look really great on paper only & not after being implemented.
