    Blur is clear best played against other human beings, but online multiplayer unfortunately suffers from the same gating issue that the single-player game does, locking you out from a handful of game modes until you reach a certain level. That's a real shame, because the level of sheer chaos taking place on a track at any given time when playing online is easily five or six times what you'd find in a single-player match against bots, instantly making the whole experience more fun.

    Blur isn't the addictive, competitive online game that people wanted it to be. Rather, Blur is a palate-cleansing game, the type of experience you pop in for a few minutes with your friends when you're looking for a break between sessions of a game you really like marathoning. If you love a more hardcore racing experience, and the idea of truly chaotic combat sounds appealing, than Blur might be for you. If you're looking for a fun, pick-up-and-play combat racer, then I think you need to go back to Mario Kart or, better yet, pick up the excellent Split/Second.

    Blur's single-player campaign is fine, but it's all a bit ordinary. You compete in various races, earning lights and unlocking more of the same. There are various modes to shake things up - destruction has you taking out cars for time bonuses, and checkpoints are a fun twist on time-trials - but there's nothing really that takes advantage of Blur's unique mix of inspiration. It feels a bit flat.

    I still want Bizarre to make a true successor to PGR, but I'm glad it made Blur too. It really is a modern take on the Mario Kart formula, done in a way that feels incredibly cool and refreshing. It's a game anyone could pick up and enjoy, yet there's depth here that only the very best players will appreciate. It's a game built around power-ups that doesn't feel unfair, and features a multiplayer mode that will grab you and not let go. Best arcade racer of the year? Nothing is certain, but it'll be incredibly hard to beat.

    A deep and satisfying racing game that's accessible to all - but the sequel will have a clearer vision

    Blur is one robust package brimming with good times to be had. While the power ups are nothing new to racing fans, the way the cars react to being damaged by each adds a unique touch to the game. Plenty of side objectives, various locales and and one hell-of-a-online mode await you inside Blur. The game is not perfect, though, as there could have been more play modes within the career, the visuals for the most part feel very outdated compared to recent games like Split/Second and the offline split screen is poorly implemented.

    Its a game which you can think of mario kart but with great graphics. You have various power ups and need to play aggressively to win races. A different kind of game in racing genre altogether. If you loved split second then you're also gonna enjoy this.
