Between the two which is better:

Split Second

or

Blur?

I haven't gotten these yet and the verus between the two have died down very quickly. All I know is that Blur has official cars and smooth online races. For Split Second I know the car runs decent, the graphics are great and the explosions are AWESOME!

I've only tried the demo of Split/Second, as for Blur I've only seen some gameplay videos. It wouldn't be fair of me if I picked one over the other, but I gotta say I really, really loved the Split/Second demo and I'm looking forward to purchase it further down the line because right now I have waaaay too many unfinished games.

I haven't played the racing mechanics in Blur. Are they slippery like MNR or stiff like Split Second or a combination of both like Burnout Paradise?

have you ever played a PGR game? blur feels like pgr with power ups to me (made by the same dev). the cars handle very differently, but to compare game to game, its a lot tighter than MNR and looser than s/s

I've only played a tiny bit of Split Second and none of Blur so I'm not going to vote. Split Second was pretty fun though :)

I haven't played Blur, and while it looks great, I doubt I'll like it more than Split/Second. Split/Second is just amazing!

Im going to get Blur but im going to finish Split / Second first.

So far Split / Second has just been great. True it starts to get repetitive after about 40% of the game, but it never feels old and i can play for hours. Im just anxiously waiting for Multi-player. You race with your cars you won in single player so you pretty much got to beat the game if you want to stand a chance. I think this is the correct way to handle it.

I still say WOW at parts of the game. Its just better than firing a rocket or dropping a mine. Its something i hope to see in future arcade racers.

I think we should throw ModNation Racers into the discussion. It's different visually but the idea is still the same. I'm trying to decide between the three of them.

yea modnation is good but i wouldn't contend it as a arcade racer. Wouldn't be something you could play at a arcade.

all three are good, i just went ahead and got all three lol
