    I've had fun with this version. It kind of ashamed me that this version of the game wasn't really as exciting as the bigger versions were, since there's no camera shakes, no slow motion effects, and basically not a single worthwhile special camera effect of any kind, but it was worth my time.

    CAR PHYSICS - 6.5 car physics are ok, drifting just feels weird. Collision detection is perfect overall. HANDLING - 7 CAR DESIGN - 8 CONTROLS - 5 GAME MODES - 10 FUN = 5/10 it feels underwhelming and boring, the destruction doesn't feel intense, the sense of speed is not great, overall it's kinda boring, but it gets more fun once you get better and faster

    it feels underwhelming and boring, the destruction doesn't feel intense, the sense of speed is not great, overall it's kinda boring, but it gets more fun once you get better and faster cars.
    ATMOSPHERE - 4
    TRACK DESIGN - 10
    the track design in this game is probably the most impressive I have ever seen
    OVERALL = 6/10
    overall, it just lacks excitement to make the destruction feel intense. other than that, the game is pretty cool, it's not as fun as you might think but it is worth checking out, and the game gets more fun as you progress.

    Interesing but offering nothing new at all, the handheld version of Split / Second: Velocity is basically a port of the PS3-X360-PC versions of the license. Visually amazing, its delivers the fast-paced racing that conquered the audience a few months ago.

    It's an endearingly anarchic twist on arcade racing. [Jan 2011, p.119]

    Stripped of the mass destruction, Split/Second: Velocity is just a mediocre arcade racer. [Feb 2011, p.100]
