Britxbox: Split/Second Preview

Jasper Kashap writes: "Commonly perceived as a spiritual successor to Criterion’s Burnout Revenge, Split/Second actually shares more in common with the ill-fated Stuntman series. After a presentation from Black Rock Studios’ Nick Baynes, hands on with the game itself provided a chance to get to grips with one of the most explosive games next year has to offer.

In a conscious attempt to undertake a brand new premise to the arcade destruction racer, the premise of the game is not to use your car as a weapon, or to use weapons on your car, but instead to use the environment as a weapon. With the absurdity of the idea handled by having the races take place as part of a reality TV show with a limitless budget, Black Rock Studios have gone all out on creating the loudest and most bombastic racer imaginable."
