Blur barge's out in a perishable way

User Rating: 7 | Blur PC
Blur is designed in such a way that it is addictive only for couple of hours & suddenly you will totally dislike the game saying do I have to do the same homework again& again!!

Graphics: Nice & clean.


Fun: Only Multi-player


Cars:

Cars are classified in ABCD CLASS. Each car is characterized by Acceleration, Speed, Grip and Difficulty Health. There is no big difference on what basis one chooses car to race. I used only one car as such for completion of events in a class.

Game:

There are 9 bosses in single player. Race, Destruction, Checkpoint, 1v1 are the types included. There are more than 15 tracks to race on. There are eight weapons present in every race. For checkpoint only nitro boost & for destruction bolt hit power up are available. There are no accidents shown in the race, the car resets automatically. There is no damage detected between 2 cars while racing.

Game-play:

This is the part where it gets boring after some time. Respective Boss is present in every race before you go 1v1 with him. If he's present in each race there is no point in racing 1v1 with later on because you already beat him more than one time. Fan run present in the race is basically race ruin run. It acts a distraction in the race. There are fan demands also in each race but if you're at 1st position in the race fan demand always fails because no opponent is present near you to fulfill the fan's demand.
The game does not require any brakes. You just have to accelerate & turn. Some of the tracks width is of playground size. No driving skills required to win the race, just swallow as many power ups & use them.

Power ups:

Power ups are present at fixed positions on each track so one can easily memorize where & which power up is present on the respective track. That makes the racing repetitive or boring. The strategies applied by most of the players are placing mines where the power ups are positioned so that the other won't be able to pick it up. The other strategy is picking only nitro boost power up to gain speed.

Concluding the review blur is a good concept for an action racing genre but shallow implementation makes blur only a good racing game & not a great game.
