Yahtzee is a Game/Critic now? Do we have to choose between one of those as well?

I'm usually okay in racing games, as long as I can shoot the guy in front of me, so I'm cool with Mario Kart, JakX etc. It's when I can't shoot the person in front of me and when the controls are trying to be realistic where I start to fail because I can't stop myself from spinning out and ending up in a lake or whatever.
Though the idea of exploding the scenery as your weapon seems an interesting game mechanic, but I doubt I'd actually play the game. Good review though.

I really expected nothing more from Disney. Goddammit I hate that conglomerate.

That fetus joke was solid gold though.

It sounds quite a lot like the burnout game series, I never really got into it or other driving games; I always have the urge to actually get out of the car.

I'm well glad Yahtzee has finally done Split/Second. And I had a feeling it would be a good one too and it was... so... waaay?

Quite humorous. I'm not big on racing games so this game didn't really interest me. The only such games I really enjoyed are the Burnout and Mario Kart games (excluding the open world versions) and those hardly count. They are to racing simulators what Serious Sam is to a FPS military simulator.

Good review, I lol'd at the part about the pregnant women having to eat the other one's foetus.

Next bloody time the august bucket would come around I hope he'll review Okami.

As for this review....ok. Never heard of Split Second.

I'm pretty good at racing games. I've gotten the S Class license in Gran Turismo 2 and 3.

Yahtzee, you failed your driving test? Here in Michigan you're not a man unless you can drive a car.

Yeah, I played the demo, and I kind of liked how the course can change a bit and all, but it just seemed so *random*.
