    This game is really beautiful and spectacular. Driving is both exciting and interesting.
    Unfortunately there seems to be so much going under the hood (for example the helicopter moving its supposedly locked target at the last minute sometimes) that you don't really have control over the outcome. You can be great one race and finish 4th while being first the next one without doing anything    This game is really beautiful and spectacular. Driving is both exciting and interesting.
    Unfortunately there seems to be so much going under the hood (for example the helicopter moving its supposedly locked target at the last minute sometimes) that you don't really have control over the outcome. You can be great one race and finish 4th while being first the next one without doing anything special. Collisions are a bit random too: sometimes they get you into a crash and sometimes not. Crash are in the same state: sometimes they make you go from 2nd place to 8th, sometimes they seem to make you gain places oO (though it may just be that opponents had troubles while you where crashing). All in all it seems pretty random to me. Don't be mistaken, it's still pleasing but you have to relax, enjoy the ride and don't care too much about the outcome.    … Expand

    Очень приятная и драйвовая гоночная игра. Основная уникальная механика с учинением проблем соперникам и изменением трассы не только органично вплетена в мир игры и геймплей, но и привносит высокий уровень реиграбельности, да и эффектна сама по себе вкупе с замечательным саунд-дизайном и неплохой одиночной компанией.
    Крайне удался и сплит скрин мод - очень весёлый.

    Только жаль, что Саундтрек подкачал. Наверное, не хватает лицензированных треков.

    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    It's not bad. But it gets boring very fast, because nothing changes. No new mechanics are unveiled. The soundtrack is almost nonexistent and boring. The only thing this game has is the graphics, but that's basically it. You should play a different racing game. This one is not bad, but I won't be coming back to it. Pickens exists.

    This shallow but rambunctious arcade racer may have only one trick up its sleeve, but it's a really good trick.

    Split/Second may not revolutionize the genre, but its screenfilling explosions and stunning looks are making it a title, that may not only be interesting for racing-fans, but also for everyone, who simply likes to blow stuff up - Hollywood-Style!

    Black Rock has proved the concept, shown what kind of polish they can muster, and given arcade racing fans a reason to get back in the game. The explosions and thrills will certainly last until the inevitable "Split/Second 2" throws a couple of different buildings at us.
