| 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"

(User Info | Send a Message) | Hello all, to answer the questions:
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:

(User Info | Send a Message) | I would like to reconsider my review. This game is so awesome.
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. |
