To give it its due, "Split/Second" tries its utmost to ape and overtake the "Burnout" series, twisting the racing formula into an episodic television series (not unlike this month's psycho horror "Alan Wake", review coming soon) involving explosions aplenty as you blast your way to victory. The problem is, much like "Burnout: Paradise" eventually wore thin with its constant smashing and crashing, "Split/Second: Velocity"'s action-packed gameplay does tire somewhat after a few races, and once you know the courses the novelty does start to wear off. Yet, modes such as "Survival" and "Air Range Target" prove capable of providing experiences not unlike "Terminator 2" (from which they were inspired), and along with the plethora of offline and online multi-player modes, will keep gamers interested. I got this title for a tenner, and thought that for the amazing graphics scheme and innovative camera system it was more than worth over double that price, but be warned: at the £40 retail recommended price, Disney Interactive are laying their hopes an inch too thick. As soon as "Split/Second" comes down in price, however, grab yourself a copy for guaranteed party fun.
