Blur

Not bad, but repetitive, like many racing games and handling is too arcadey to be enjoyable. Boss Demands can be a pointless pain in the ass too.

Another game I played a bit before deciding to sell was "Blur" a 2010 racing game produced by the now defunct Bizarre Creations studio, whose "Project Gotham Racing" series had been a highlight of the previous generation of consoles.

"Blur" is an arcade style racing game, where drivers participate in competitions taking place in rough approximations of real-world locations, such as the Los Angeles river, Barcelona circuit and Brighton Beach front. Various actual car models are available, each with particular acceleration, speed and durability statistics. The events themselves take the form of time trials, destruction derbies and more traditional races where various "Power ups", such as offensive weapons, defensive shields and speed boosts can be collected and deployed. Each race also includes specific fan sections, where the racer can earn more supporters by undertaking an additional trial, such as a lengthy drift around a corner, or long distant hit with a missile, the success in which may detract from your overall race performance.

I'll be the first to admit I am not great at racing games, and on the medium difficulty setting I could barely make any progress. Often I would find that I was racing OK, only to be hit with a homing weapon (lets call it a red shell, as that's really what it is) at which point I was overtaken by the majority of the opposition, who all seem to be racing as one throng, rather than spreading out around the course. I did switch to easy, which you can do dynamically during the career mode, at which point I started to make progress but after just a couple of sessions I felt like I'd seen all the game had to offer - with the play modes and the courses starting to become repetitive fairly quickly. At another time in my life I might have stubbornly fought my way though all of it, but right now, it feels like it's time to move on.

I did like the menu's and the odd "previously on blur" that meets you when you come back to the game, once you've got one in progress, which recaps what you did last time and reminds you of your next goal (a feature that countless open world games could do with). The presentation across the board is excellent. Sadly, that was not enough and the game couldn't find an audience, despite strong reviews and proved to be a primary factor in the demise of Bizarre Creations.

I have played this game for so many hours with my friends. Why it's not really that good of a driving game. I mean the Mechanics are balanced and there are real car brands, but it's not there for I play it.

.The level design is good and vary it. I wish there were more levels . That's mostly because I have been playing this game for 5 years,

My favourite level is the Japanese one that reminds me of Tokyo Drift well. It's just all the way down. So it's so fun to pick a Ford car that has the worst drifting but just the fastest way down the hill and just bought into my friends.

The game is fun to play with your friends it gives you a variety of ways to play it with the health and the cars and the power of and all the different way to put it on the level so I would say go forward if you want to play Every driving Mario Kart clone from the 2010s.
