Default Split/Second

Played some quick online earlier. Some people are such sore losers! A guy was actually saying I cheated by using a powerplay on the last lap "play the game man, you couldn't beat me without cheating. Your a bitch dowg". Surely "man" that is the idea if the game.

Also is it just me or are the biggest gits online either from the USA or Frogville? Guess it's just luck of the draw...

Anyway, knobheads aside. This is great fun online too!

I got this on Saturday and have played a few chapters of the single player. Whilst there are 12 episodes, I cant see it taking to long to complete. The track designs a quite clever although, they do all seem to be variants of each other. I suppose instead of having numerous tracks to learn, there are less tracks but the skill is learning the most effective power plays on each one.

I have also put about 2 hours into the online and had a blast on it last night with randoms. Like Motorstorm, it can be very random with luck being a major factor of whether you win or lose. I have only played the elimination mode and won the first four elmination events I played. Then came 2nd or 3rd in all the others. I also like the way your car number decreases as you win races.

This has left my horse in RDR hitched outside my house. Whilst this game is a bit limited in the variation stakes, its a thoroughly great game to play.

I've enjoyed blowing the shit out of people, it's a lot better than the demo.

Can't wait to try this online.

I completed the single player career last weekend. I don't think I will grind out for all golds as, skill is only 20% of the battle, the other 80% is when you either play or, suffer a power play. I have turned this game off in anger several times due to feeling very cheated by the AI.

It does cheat, like all "combat/kart racers". However, I found it a lot fairer than the hateful Blur.

I like Blur online, mainly as it helps me perfect my Yoda impression

"Hit you I did, hurhurhur"

"Beat you I will, yess, hurhurhur" lol.

I'm getting to the point where the AI is cheating.

Next stage Ace is where your cars are underpowered compared to the opposition, about Episode 10. Don't worry though, by the time you finish, you will have decent cars for mopping up golds.
