Best current racing game for the PS3. August 1, 2010
Slyder (Houston, TX)
I think this game is a good mix between old fashioned Need For Speed racing and Burn Out. It can be rough racing with everyone blowing eachother up, but that's part of what makes it enjoyable.

The "What If" Baby June 28, 2010
Travis H. Wilson (Home)
I know most people out there have always wondered what would happen if Mario Kart and Need for Speed met and had a baby? Well folks, "Blur" would be the result. Imagine you are in a ZR1 (Corvette for the vehichluarly challenged) and first place is just out of reach. You probably tell yourself, "well...second place aint that bad". Now in Blur, second place is the least of your worries. At best, you got one car in front of you and 18 behind you. When I say MK, I don't mean Mortal Kombat, I mean Mario Kart, alright? You have shields (MK equivallent..Ghost which ironically, there is a perk that lets you convert attacks that hit you with your shield active to power-ups, but they dont steal them), mines (MK version of Green Turtle Shell...both forward and backwards firing), shunts (MK version of Red Turtle Shell)nitro (MK version of Mushrooms) The beauty about the nitro, if your team racing and you got some jackass behind you, fire the nitro backwards and airbrake (yes....AIRBRAKE) and have him slam into you, while your team flies past him to the finish, then it boosts you back up to speed. Gotta love it. Shock (MK version of Lightning...duh. Only thing is it doensn't shrink your opponents. It's more like the EMP you saw on "2Fast 2Furious". Then there is the Barge (NOTHING LIKE IT ON MARIO KART). If there are a couple jerks in front of you, hit the barge and kindly give them a nudge out of your way. I mean sure your running at 150+ MPH, but if they weren't driving so slow, they wouldn't be wrecked now would they? Unfortunately, there is no Blur version of the infamous Spikey Shell that owns everything until it reaches the unsavory victim who happens to be in 1st. Another thing about Blur, is the ranking system. Those that are familiar with the "challenges" from the last few COD games, will feel right at home. THERE IS NO PRESTIGING, so don't think you are gonna talk crap to ppl telling them to "get your gold cross, noob". Blur has various game types such as Team Racing, Hardcore Racing (with radar and HUD), Extreme Racing (No powerups to save those that cant drive) and my fav, Motor Mash. If you remember that game many MANY moons ago for Playstation called "Destruction Derby"? If you liked it, you will go Ape TIHS over this game. BOTTOM LINE, get the game and play. Its worth it
