Review: Blur (360)

+'s

-lots of cars to unlock

-interesting mod system (mods are similar to Perks in MW2)

-decent number of tracks

-good control

-several multiplayer modes

-'s

-story mode difficulty is very unbalanced (is gets MUCH harder half way through and then easier at the end. Also, boss races are the easiest events to pass, which seems very odd.)

-Multiplayer is fun for about 20 hours or so, then becomes extremely repetitive

-little reason for replaying story mode

-needlessly difficult to unlock boss races

Neutral

-The controls are a bit more floaty than I expected (not much like Burnout at all), and the tracks are basically made for you to continously crash into walls, with not much benefit to cornering correctly (you won't take damage if you corner correctly, but you'll slow down almost even more by doing so)

Overall, it probably is my own fault, but Blur is a bit of a disappointment. I was hoping for Burnout with pickups, but this game falls short of that. I don't regret buying this, but the eventually monotony of multiplayer (more tracks, modes, etc. might help?) and unbalanced single player make this one hard to recommend.
