Criticism of 'Alaghi's review

I can say for myself that I'm a very ehrfahrener Racing Enthusiast (have also been playing Flatout 2). And a few reviews of Alaghi I can not confirm that.
1. The graphics are not OK, it is fantastic (unless you have the necessary hardware)
2. 'You can never hold the first place' - Who writes this, may well not even be described as experienced Racing Enthusiast. Split Second is a bit difficult for beginners, that's true. But if you only get out the arc to drift, and has developed a feel for the car, it is quite possible to keep the first place from start to finish. In addition, the AI ​​are very light off by power plays. How else is it that my record could be due to lead to more than 22 seconds?
3. 'The KI are getting faster and faster' - Yes. But only as long as one takes always better cars. If you take a car right at the front of sequence in 6 for example, the car of the opponent be 'demoted', that is, they go as fast as a result in Fig.1.
4. 'own abilities are not rewarded' - No. Who spent enough time with Split Second, learn better to drift, remembers the positions of power plays and is prepared and can hold the opponent by masses of power plays in chess. To this end, it must be said that there is always longer relevant in the career to stop the opponent by power plays. Therefore, it needs a lot of ambition, insert several defeats and not to give up. There comes a turning point (was with me that way) and everything gets easier.
5. 'If you move fast, catch the car to drift' - Jain. There are two types of drift cars. One of them is the one who drifts automatically in curves (uncontrolled, MMN), and the other of, where you have to tap the brakes first, so that it comes in an inclined position (I prefer).

In my opinion, Split Second is with Flatout 2 one of the best racing games for me. Unfortunately, there are some little lines and the power plays are predictable over time, but that should not deter from the purchase. Who already has experience in racing games, is the initial difficulty of this title have no problems.

From me there is an absolute buy recommendation.
