Split/Second - Video Game Review

Split/Second
Release Date: Available Now
Developer: Black Rock Studios
Publisher: Disney Interactive
Multiplayer: Split Screen(2), Xbox Live
My Time with Game: Uncompleted (2 days)
One Sentence Review: A decent arcade style racer whose literally explosive gimmick actually makes it worth your time.

 Split / SecondSplit / Second

I don't like racing games. I'm not sure if its because I frustrate easy or because I generally seem to get enough enjoyment at risking my life in the real world by poorly controlling my Nissan around Orange County. Split/Second is an arcade racing game. It has enough speed and pretty cars to count it as a racer, but its easy enough to get into, lacks excessive accuracy, and is crazy unrealistic which earns it the title "arcade." Damn good thing that its really fun.
