Blur for PS3

"Hooray, I'm the first and only two corners to the finish ... damn ***** only third"
Like right now? No, there were no cars in front of me. For this, I was completely taken apart in just under 20 seconds. This is blur. The winner is only when the first and the finish line is crossed. In the Action / Arcard Racer is the real thing. I take my time as a model and get time to a few facts.

The graphics are decent. The richness of detail can not be compared with titles like Gran Turismo though, you also do not have to, because who here has time to focus on details travels almost certainly at the end of the field and should rather wait for Test Drive Unlimited 2. The routes and the surrounding area are very nicely designed.
The sound leaves me with nothing to be desired. The engine sound is not uniformity. The cars all sound different. The engine noises occur at the races, however, quickly into the background because it crashes due to the power-ups at every nook and cranny.
From the power-ups there are plenty that are distributed on the track. Picked up they are, by simply driving over it, like in the good old Mario Kart times when I have been reminded after the first race. The power-ups are very diverse. There is a kind of targeted levels, what the opponent in front of you is true (as the red turtle shell at MK), 3 small projectiles (exactly how the green tanks at MK), nitro, a repair kit and so on. You can record and select 3 power-ups that you want to use and how. On the one hand you can almost all shoot backwards and forwards and attacking opponents with it, or repel enemy bullets it. Even Nitro can be used backwards. This one is a moment extremely slow, which can be very helpful in tight corners. It is thus also a certain degree of tactics called for.

There are many licensed cars and models that have been designed by the developers. The cars differ in speed, acceleration, traction and drivability and not just in the Data, but also on the track. One should make the choice of his car and not on preferences so depending on the route. The tracks are also very different. Whether narrow and winding, or rather broad with many straight lines and the different road surfaces that bring also noticeable changes in driving behavior with them. In addition, always busy, because you drive partially against 19 opponents. So boring never.

In the single player career, there are several station and at the end always waits a boss. To go against this would have previously made her a series of races and fulfill individual tasks. Need to unlock the next level free earn points, called quite simply the "lights" you at the races. These are available when you finish the race in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, the optional Fanrun completed (you have during the race 12 gate in a certain time pass) and when you have won a certain number of fans during the race , The number of fans increases when using your power-ups employing sent and for good maneuver. The Fanzähler is quasi the level up, because that you unlock gradually new automobiles and others.
All his points obtained, times etc. can share with the community online. A race results can also be sent to a friend as a challenge. Sharen is very important to blur and the focus is on the Muliplayer. The SP is fun, no doubt, but the MP is again a completely different story. Because it goes against real opponents again a whole corner harder. Even online there are plenty of unlockables and also because you can re-gather fans.
For gameplay is thus also ensured over a longer period.

Conclusion:
The creators of Project Gotham Racing have tinkered with blur a great Arcard racer who has a lot of action. I find the game a huge success and it is for me the victor in a duel with Split / Second Velocity.
