The stage is set for a T.V series that features racing, explosions, dramatic route changes and over the top action. You must race your way through 12 dramatic episodes where anything can change in the blink of an eye. Be aware of your surroundings or your race could be over quicker then you had hoped.
Split Second is at its core a racing game, there are different tracks; beat the clock campaigns, elimination campaigns and much more. When you take away the explosions and the dramatics you are left with a simple racing game that does not exceed any racing game already in existence. And to be completely fair, even though I like the explosions and the dramatics there is nothing special about this game once you get passed episode 3.
The further you go in the game, the more you realize it is all the same just a newer level with a faster car and a nighttime setting. The game gets boring after you realize you get an achievement in game play every time you do something. Games with too many achievements are absurd because you can do anything even if it is completely simple and then you get points. With a game like this I expect the challenges to be as insane as the concept is.
After episode 3 you realize that the computer cars don’t have the same dramatic timing as you do. My advice to anyone looking to play this game would be strictly online play (which I have yet to try) but playing against users would be more intense for the reason that they would be able to mess you up instead you just continuously messing with the computer cars. When you play a racing game you should never expect to have a distinct advantage against even the computer because in real life the same driver does not always win every race.
Split Second is a game for racing fans, and to play online. It is fun and the idea was there, but when you think of a game like this you think out of this world intense and never boring. Split Second just does not soar; the engine barely even gets hot before you realize every level is the same.
