Zack Warren of TheBitBag writes, "Split Second is a revolutionary racing game that has put a very different spin on the racing game genre. It has put more of an attack oriented racing style then the pure skill racing spirit most racing games have. Now that being said this is no kart racer, Split Second is a racing game that has you drift, draft and jump your way to filling your power play meter. And with the power play meter you can use the environment and the track you are driving on to take your opponents out of the race until they respawn. Be it a helicopter that drops explosives or even a giant building crashing down into the track not only crushing other cars but also changing the track for the rest of the race."
There were a number of cult classics that didn't sell like gangbusters, but still worked their way into gamers' hearts. Here's WWG list of nine great titles that deserve a second chance on newer consoles
I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?
The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s
Problem with sequels is that they aren't very likely. Activision dropped Blur like a bad habit, and Disney isn't doing games anymore. So I'll happily take the originals.
As much as I'd kill for a Demon's Souls remake, isn't likely. We'll probably get Bloodborne 2 instead.
Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...

James Pettegrow talks us through an arcade racing title that didn't get as much credit as it deserved.
As it was said, Disney shut it down due to it not being successful enough. With that said, a sequel could definitely have improved on Split Second's arcade madness.
Split/Second and Blur were the two most under rated racers last gen. They were great games and wish there were potential sequels.
Personally, i prefer games like that, more so Split Second than Blur. I also remember when i was playing Destruction Derby Raw back in the day.
GRIP is a game going to early access on Steam, because there wasn't enough people backing it on Kickstarter (unfortunately).
That's one of my only hopes for racers i enjoy.
Hoping for BC as I still got the XB1 disc and still play it time to time. This and Midnight Club LA along with Project Gotham Racing 4 are hidden racing gems from the X360 days.
Great Review! I really liked the pointers and flaws that you pointed out about S/S.
indeed, good review
Split / Second has been really fun to play i really like that with the lan support you can have a great time with your friends sure the Carrer mode isnt that awesome after like 1 hours play but the multiplayer im sure many people like me think is great!
I haven't got the game but the demo was pretty good i must say.
Great review! short and sweet!
