Single player is marred by the far too common checkpoint and destruction modes
Abstract: Blur is certainly an interesting title. Developed by Bizarre Creations (the same studio behind the famed Project Gotham Racing sim series), Blur is a mix of arcade and kart-style racing. It's definitely an unorthodox mix, but leave it to the team behind o...

Abstract: Blur comes to town but not quite as we expected. A mix of Karting and racing vie for attention and this mixed experience asks a lot of the player. Those that get it are in for a considered racing treat - but the danger is that there will be many that n...
Abstract: With Forza 3 taking 2009 as its own and Gran Turismo 5 looking to cap off 2010, developers looking to release anything in the racing genre were opposed by two hits that were sure to prove nearly impossible to compete directly with. Hoping to sneak in s...
Abstract: Blur offers up a nice change from the standard arcade racer as the addition of kart racing like power-ups brings a new wrinkle to the genre. The ability to earn fans and open new cars and modifications as a result of your performance also adds a level of addictiveness..
