5FUN very FUN!  May 26, 2010 By J. N. Gillespie "Wizard of Endings"
I am not a major league gamer and I may very well be the worst online racer ever! But that doesn't stop me from trying new things. I used to be great at Gran Turisimo (sp?) on Playstation (not 2 but 1). The next racing game I tried was Burnout but I didn't have the internet. I was pretty good. But when I got my 360 and got online with the same game. I was ALWAYS in last place. Then Burnout Paradise came out and now I had to drive around a city. I like arrows and directions and a track, not free open space. I like arcarde, blowing stuff up and dodging things, taking shortcuts! This all come in BLUR. I bought split/second first because I didn't like the beta of BLUR, and that game is okay compared to BLUR. I got BLUR yesterday and became addicted. I haven't been addicted to a racing game since Burnout Takedown on PS2. I love the style of the game. It feels very sleek and the cars look amazing. The career mode I never really do because I always lose, but even with my horrible driving I came in first on some races. The games is so fluid in motion and easy to play that even when I came in last, I didn't mind pressing retry. The career seems like it will get more difficult, pitting you again 20 CPU drivers. But I was glad to see my ranking for career didn't really seem to effect my ranking online. I started out a rank 1 and ending in rank 4 in one hour (even when I lost I got points!). The one person talking was very nice and it seems less skill driving then good timimg and hopefully some good aiming. I don't know how to drift for anything on this game, just can't do it! But I still came in 1st once. I will stop rambling on and give some pros and cons.

Pros
1. Fluid motion
2. Powerups (all of them) are fun and usefull
3. No great skill needed
4. Style is top notch
5. Great looking cars
6. You can customize powerups (damage and such)
7. You rank online is seperate from career
8. Fun enough to press retry if you fail
9. Haven't tried this yet but - Local multiplayers!

Cons
1. Hard as...to drift!
2. Too much down time to reset your car if turned around
3. This really isn't a con but (Hard to dodge the missle like fireball coming at your from behind!!!!!!)

5Challenging, yet AMAZING!  Jun 19, 2011 By Andrew Gulino
To being, this game is amazing. It combines the elements of a Gran Turismo with a Mario Kart. The only reason it is lock Mario Kart is because there are power ups that can used throughout the race. The power-ups are: the shunt (just like the red turtle shell), barge (which strikes any opponent near you), mine (which is just like the upside down question mark box), shock (which launches three balls at the person in 1st place to damage them), nitro (which is just like the mushroom in Mario Kart), bolt (which is like the three green shells in Mario Kart),shield (makes you impervious to any damage), and repair (which completely repairs your cars health).

I consider myself to be a very good racing gamer, but this game on normal is very, very difficult. It will take you multiple tries to win the race or complete the challenge. It is very frustrating to say the least. I have been playing for a few months and I still haven't beat it yet.

The gameplay and graphics are incredible. The details on the cars are very good. There is a numerous selection of cars you can choose from as you get further and further along in your Career.

Overall, this is a very good game that you should definitely buy if you are into arcade-style racing games.


1dont waste your money  Apr 19, 2012 By Scott Wert
I cant play multiplayer. (this is why i bought it in the first place) The retail version will not update. the developers have been disbanded the original game servers do not exist anymore. The Retail (Physical CD) version is something you'd want to avoid. there are no game patches for this. I can start the GUI, go to Multiplayer, login to my account, click ONLINE then i get a failed to download content. Activision's site has no reference to BLUR.

I'm not a novice user. i'm an IT guy with over 15 years of experience. It's not a port forwarding issue either. I've tested with and without a router connected and connected direct to the internet without any firewalls or NAT in place. My friends that all have the Steam version they all work fine with no issues. i'm the only poor slob that has the physical dvd.

The game itself is fun from what i see. i give 1 star simply because this game was released back in 2010 but the game servers and devs have all ninja vanished, and activision's site is the worst ever. so i'm going to have to buy the steam version.


5one of the best arcade racer experiences you will ever have  May 31, 2011 By Heather Sainz
this game is not for the simulation racer fan. this is just a flat out fun arcade style racer that specializes in chaos! if you love hectic racing while blasting other cars out of the way and at the same time avoiding getting taken out then this is the game for you. solid frame rate, great animations and tons of modes and options.


5Blur  May 25, 2011 By Alberto Hernandez
Multiplayer is just amazing takes skills to get first place and just shooting at people is fun but still need to keep up to finish: ) story line is alright nothing much to talk about it but the multiplayer is great especially 20 people in one race = Destruction
