Great game concept is destroyed by frustrating AI ...

Split / Second is rocking right, from the first to the last minute in terms of: presentation, presentation and variety. However, there is a serious point which slows all the up to 3 stars down, but more on that later.

What I like:
+ Really great scenes that could be imported from places dirket action movies. From the airport up to the Canyon everything is represented and each route has its own Wowmomente. All this is always a nice California touch of orange, red, sun, blue sky, etc. pp. dipped.
+ Class car range, which ensures sufficient variety. No original bodies, but often just what simulated. See the carts across the board of stylish, beefy, strong and have different strengths as drifting, speed etc. and provide a lot of fun.
+ Power plays: These are the knack of it all, because with just these can cause explosions, which are distributed across the entire stretch. It drifts well or you can take a long time in the lee of an opponent, a power indicator with which it fills your colleagues can make life difficult. By "small" power plays you can eg. Helis circling the skies and bomb throwing barrels but bring exploding trucks on the roadside or gas stations, to the explosion and scrap your opponents with it. Invite her the Power indicator but full on, there's also full of a plan, because with this "mega-Powerplay" Can you whole sections or bridges to rubble lay, and thus crash not only your opponents, but also change the course of the route.
+ No annoying HUD. All important messages no longer hanging in a corner of the screen, but at the rear of the vehicle. This not only leaves room for the eye, but also serves good overview. Because on the car you look all the time anyway, so why not clap placement and Powerplay display the stern. At a pace indicator was also completely omitted what I find super, because it is in racing games anyway somehow nonsense in my opinion.
+ Incredibly horny splitscreen. Not only that, each of the modes such as. the truck or Helirennen Included are, no it even drive CPU opponents with. TOP!
+ Great sense of speed but still good overview. So the feeling here really nothing to complain about there. The Speed ​​Class feeling comes to bear, yet you have always a good overview on the track.

What I LESS LIKE:
-Well it really does not like me and actually it is also the only truly significant point of criticism. However, in my view, this is so serious that it must bite the dust two star. The reason for this is the AI. So dear developers Seriously, you want to piss the players? I mean nothing against an AI that what has it, nothing against an AI that from time to time gets better and nothing against a rubber band effect of all NFS. But this is not gonna work times. I mean, how can it be that (!) Seconds will overtaken at the top of a projection of 4 (!) Seconds will be displayed, but I 2? Or how can it be that I drive on a straight track with top speed and me the CPU with the same vehicle is overtaking much faster? Or how can it be that the same CPU a few seconds after starting has a lead of more than 5 seconds. Or how can it be that the CPU wins hands down with a vehicle with which I had no chance. You notice already that repeats and repeats. Sorry but this AI here is pure Verarsche. The game concept is really something of whim and it bothers me, for example, also not the one as the leading (or almost always) is constantly under attack, which is nunmal so and is one of them. However, it does not matter whether one is destroyed or is keeping, because you will anyway outdated and that ensures regular frustration which destroys everything. Initially, this may still go, but in the course of the game, which increases steadily, that is what I with the frustration. From the time trial which has every episode, I do not even want to talk, because these are the hair pulling.
-a weterer criticism is that not can be personalized cars. Although you can unlock Vinyls, but has no influence on where they are placed. You can only select the paint color, that's it. Thankfully though, the cars are quite stylish, designed so that the relatively good bearable.

CONCLUSION:
I've nothing against herrausfordernde Games, but I think just arcade racing games should more than provide fun for frustration, and I want to turn off in a game and do not even more upset and my pulse blow up as in working life. As I said, basically a super cool game, but the AI ​​does a real sooner or later finished.
