Blur

What happens when you combine the elements of some mature racing games that is more of a simulation and fantasy racing games which power ups are the main basis?

With the slogan "race like a big boy", Blur combines the best of both worlds. Combining racing and combat is the best description on what this game is about. In Blur, you can take control of some of the coolest cars ever made, from Japanese tuners, Euro hot hatches, sport utility vehicles, muscle cars, and exotics. When you are behind the wheel, you are ready to race against other racers from across the globe, thanks to online multi-player system.

Power-ups are the essential tools in Blur, which players find it more useful to blow away the competition. Imagine yourself playing Blur with your friends, it turns out it's not a racing game, its a racing-fighting game where may the best racer lives! Sure, these power-ups come in handy, like blasting some orb-like attack to your opponents, leave a trap to fend off drivers behind, gain a speed boost, blow away nearby opponents, and repair your car on the track. There are so many power-ups to use in Blur. Experiment on trying various power-ups but remember, you can only carry three power-ups on the race.

Fans are the main point in Blur. If you win races, you will gain more fans, and if you gain enough fans, you can unlock various features that makes it more interesting to play the game, such as unlocking different vehicles.

My thoughts:
The cars used in Blur are not just ordinary racing cars, but they are the perfect war machines. Turning a racetrack into a war zone is just perfect, making Blur the ultimate racing game with war-like elements thanks to power-ups that makes it more addicting. Play by yourself, play against three friends, or even play against the world's best Blur players to see how battle-ready you are. Whatever it takes, Blur lets you race like a big boy.
