Item Description

Twenty cars pour into the first corner of a Blur race, and within seconds the air is full of crackling Shunts, dropped Mines and the shockwave of a Barge clearing space. Bizarre Creations built its reputation on precise street racing with real cars in Metropolis Street Racer and Project Gotham Racing, and Blur is what happened when that team decided to arm them. The machines are licensed and handle with real weight, but the races play out like a demolition derby with power-ups, and the combination feels like nothing else on the Xbox 360.

The power-up system is the heart of it. There are eight in all: five weapons (Shunt, Bolt, Barge, Mine and Shock) plus Nitro, Shield and Repair. You can carry three at once, and most weapons fire forward or backward, which turns every pickup into a decision between attack and defense. A Mine dropped behind you can protect a lead, a backward Shunt can swat away an incoming one, and holding a Shield into the final straight is often smarter than spending it early. Because the handling is grounded rather than cartoonish, drifting a heavy car through a corner while lining up a Bolt shot feels like skill, not luck.

The career wraps all of this in a social-network style of progression. Guided by Shannon, you earn fans for podium finishes, stunts and clever use of power-ups, and fan icons on the track trigger quick side challenges such as landing a particular weapon on a rival or holding a long drift. Each group of events ends with a boss driver whose defeat unlocks their car and mods, and the bosses all return for a final showdown. Tracks are set in real-world locations, from Los Angeles and San Francisco to the streets of Hackney and the roads of Barcelona.

Blur shines as a couch game too, with four-player split-screen on one console, and it was built around 20-car online races that critics singled out as its highlight. Reviews were strong, but sales disappointed in a crowded release window, and Activision closed Bizarre Creations in early 2011, making Blur the studio's penultimate game and its final racer. A planned sequel was cancelled, which has only sharpened its cult reputation. It is the game to reach for when you want kart-racer chaos with real horsepower behind it.

About the game

Made by the masters behind Project Gotham Racing and Metropolis Street Racer, Blur is a racing project by Bizarre Creations that aims to take arcade-style action and realistic driving physics to a whole new level. The game drops players into heart-pumping, electrified racing action with 20 cars on a track all targeting the finish line and battling each other as they trade paint and collect intense power-ups, including the ability to blast other cars out of the way with huge bursts of energy, boost their speed, and more. While controlling photo-realistic cars, gamers can use offensive and defensive attacks as they battle for the lead and careen through real-world track locations ranging from L.A. and San Francisco to the streets of Hackney, UK and the treacherous roads of Barcelona, Spain.
