Jigsaw's Blog: My thoughts on games (and other stuff)

Blur is Great

I talked about Blur before when the beta was running and now that the full game is out I’m loving it.  The single player is a lot of fun with a mix of objective based races and normal races.  The destruction races in the single player might be my favorite because all you do is follow other cars and try to shoot them off the road.  Each section of the single player is broken down by race types and finishing with a one-on-one race. I really like this format because each section gets me to focus on a few aspects of the game. This leads to me playing better in the multiplayer races.

The multiplayer is still a riot. The World Tour section is quickly becoming my favorite as it is a mix of all the other game modes randomly sorted.  This keeps things interesting and fresh.  The number of cars and tracks is quite substantial. There are literally dozens of cars and the tracks feature a much wider range of layouts than the beta showcased.  You can have a lot of fun just racing and using power-ups whenever but if you put a little strategy into it you can really dominate a race.  I’ve put together a few tips to get beginners started.

Overall, I love Blur.  It is not a perfect racing game but it is a great car combat game that features races.
