Review
Split/Second surprises in its style of racing with combat. The runners are participating in a "reality show" where they can trigger traps in the environment, ranging from simple explosions to entire buildings collapsing. The gameplay follows the "arcade" model, with drifting that requires a bit of alternation between acceleration and braking to be executed well.
