GameSpot: Split/Second Updated Hands-On

"Split/Second is a racing game, but you’re racing through an adventure game." So says Jason Green, ambassador for Black Rock Studio, the developer of the upcoming action-packed racing game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Black Rock is no stranger to racing games–it has previously been behind the earlier incarnations of the MotoGP series and, in 2008, put out the off-road ATV racer Pure.

Split/Second, with its emphasis on raw speed amid increasingly turbulent and explosive backdrops, blends the studio’s racing expertise with its love for Hollywood blockbusters and big-time special effects. The result is a game that’s full of surprises.
