We recently had a chance to play upcoming PS3, Xbox 360 and PC racerBlursplit-screen multiplayer (more on that later today) and it was there that we had a chance to see what the game’s really about: The power-ups. There’s a lot of racers out there, so we appreciate that Bizarre Creations is trying to do something a bit different. What’s different here is that the game revolves around these power-ups. Sure, good racing technique will get you far, but being a vindictive little sh*t with these devastating weapons will get you much father.
In the video, you’ll see what each of the power-ups does. Most of them are for blowing your enemies off the road, like the Shunt projectile. Shock allows you to stun another racer and then do what you wish. You could drive on by, or fly on by with a Nitro, or better yet, blast them with a Shunt to add injury to insult. I think Barge looks to be the most useful. It pushes other cars out of the way with some unseen force, clearing up the track for you to blast by.
The end result is mayhem, with cars flying off the road everywhere, all around you. It’s quite fun. Look forward to our preview ofBlur‘s multiplayer action later today
