Blur Review

Posted: 16 months ago, last updated 4 months ago.

Author: @GeekDadGamer and Jo Robertson.

Overview

Blur is a four-player racing game with many Mario Kart-style features but with customisable real-model cars. The combination of such cars as the Dodge Viper, Ford Transit and Lotus Exige (to name a few) with weapons, stunts and power-ups is both unusual and exhilarating. You can up the fun by networking consoles together in the same place to accommodate up 20 players.

The combination of real racing and kart racing mechanics is relatively unusual. For example, you had a variety of weapons and boost for your car but you also have a rear-view mirror to see who is behind you.
