Split/Second


It’s messy fun that slightly under-delivers. The episodic, reality TV conceit feels tacked on (with the sound turned off, you’d mistake it for a standard racer), but thankfully it’s so flimsily attached that it’s irrelevant and spoils nothing. Consequently, Split/Second is better than Hollywood, less impressive than Burnout and more amusing than both of them.

We’ve just darted underneath a crashing jet while fiery sparks peppered our glasses, crushed a tailing car with a container and almost had our face smashed into sinewy chunks after foolishly detonating fifteen barrels of awesome at the base of a radar tower before pitting our vehicle against the combined power of thirty tons of concrete and gravity. We did win. But just barely. Phew. » Read Full Split/Second preview
