    = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    This review is from: Split / Second (DVD-ROM)
    A combination made in heaven. This was like when I watched the movie SNAKES ON A PLANE, my reaction was: of course, why did no one ever think of this before?!

    There is a great number of driving and racing games, some better than others. There is even a number of shooting&driving games. However, SPLIT/SECOND is a breed on its own.
    When was the last time you had to race a collapsing overpass, dodge the load of an out-of-control crane or a wrecking ball, drive under a crash-landing cargo plane, survive a missile-firing helicopter attack, drift in an exploding airport hangar, or survive a Terminator-2 canal race?

    Drifting (no wall-slamming penalty!), drafting, sling-shooting, close-calling crashes and General-Leeing your car will fill your Power Bar. Once it is full you can unleash PowerPlay attacks onto your AI opponents. And, trust me, you will hate them! From start to finish they will be scrapping your tailpipe - and you only need to slip for a split second... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Splitting Hairs..., May 23, 2010
    = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    This review is from: Split / Second (DVD-ROM)
    This game, as a previous reviewer had stated, is simulator quality with the playability of an arcade hit. The fact that you can manipulate track layout with the "Power Play" system adds a whole new dimension. There are a multitude of track variants with some being quite nerve wracking with planes crashing and towers falling down throwing your car all over the track. Some areas appear to have compound mutations where you could use power plays to manipulate a track section more than once re-recreating an environment broadening the scope of the game tremendously.

    Lighting, environmental elements, and particle systems come together with a solid focus producing a professionally polished platform title that can be quite expansive; coupled with the fact that the game can be played over a network connection says allot but also, throw in the fact that there are already un-lockable vehicles of varying types being released by various retailers. This all screams depth of play. You're... Read more

    2.0 out of 5 stars Poor controls, unless you use a game-pad with your PC, December 12, 2011

    This review is from: Split / Second (DVD-ROM)
    Very dis-appointed. The option to configure a USB joystick is clumsy. At first I didn't think it was possible, but with some work, I got it to connect to my Microsoft Force-feedback 2 joystick. People report being able to use a wired xbox game pad controller - that's probably best. There is no way I'm going to steer with the keyboard.

    The game is not a high end simulator, but more of an arcade style game. There are several point of view camera angles to select from, but I didn't find one that would put me in the car behind the wheel. That's a huge fail in my book. This game is getting un-installed right now, less than 30 minutes after installing it.

    Before I go, I'll share that I have a high powered i7 (quad core) Win7 Pro 64 bit machine, with a top end graphics card, and more memory than I know what to do with (12gigs) and I was able to max all the settings out in this game and it was still performing ok. That said, I'm proof that it will run under Win7,... Read more
