Split/Second vs. blur

This is a pretty tough choice since both pretty much have the same attributes and are lacking in some. So lets look at the pros and cons of both games.

Pros for Split/Second

1. The graphic design isn't bad for this game , they made good use of the colors.
2. This game has unique game modes, such as Helicopter waves.
3. The power-ups are fun and cool to use.
4. The power-ups are separated in higher level attacks and other things.
5. They don't give you the power up (like in mario cart) you earn it.

Cons for Split/Second

1. Even though this game is mainly racing there isn't a cockpit view.
2. There's no speedometer. (digitally on the HUD)
3. There's no e-brake (there wasn't one in the demo, I'm unsure if there is one in the full game).
4. The drifting dynamics aren't that great.
5. The HUD is kinda empty (this could be a pro as well as a con).

Pros for blur

1. It was mean't to be unrealistic and somewhat retro as where Split/Second was mean't to be realistic.
2. HUD is full and has rear view (again this could be a con as well as a pro).
3. Unique multiplayer vehicle upgrades.
4. Good car dynamics (such as drifting and realisticness).
5. More dynamic attack system (you're able to defend not just attack).

Cons for blur

1. Crash system isn't very advanced.
2. Doesn't have as much intimate detail as Split/Second.
3. The game is based to much around the car.
4. No real obstacles.
5. HUD isn't customizable (I could be wrong, I'm basing this con on all the videos from blur's channel on youtube).

Final Verdict:

If you just want to have fun racing in cinematic environment of explosions in exquisite detail then go with Split/Second. But if your looking for a good challenge and competitive gamplay along with your dream car then go with blur.

Personal Choice:

Its a tough choice since both of them are lacking and don't have the full package but if I had to choose it would have to be...

I'm choosing blur because I like the challenge and I'll be playing it on PS3. Don't buy blur just because I am; base your decision on the pros and cons.

PS: I based all the pros and cons on all the trailers and gameplay as well as user submitted gameplay videos on youtube and official game websites (blurgame.com, http://disney.go.com/disneyinteractivestudios/splitsecond/).
