This unique story-driving social network evolves dynamically as players compete in different races, make new friends, rivals and fans, and connect with other racers both in-game and in real life.
Looking beyond Blur's single player story, gamers can engage in competitive and team-based multiplayer races with up to 20 players online, or on a single console via 4-player split-screen.

Blur Overview Blur is the ultimate racing experience, dropping you into heart-pumping, electrified in-the-pack action with 20 cars targeting the finish line and battling each other as they trade paint.

Featuring a slew of varied licensed cars and a made-up one , which can all take damage and even burst into flames, the trademark authenticity is in evidence. However, this doesn't extend to tracks, which are based in such diverse locales as California, Barcelona and Hackney. As Ward explains, "We haven't really gone for absolute realism this time, we've tried to make it like Hollywood-real.
Now we can be a bit more creative with it So with Hackney, we've taken the best bits of Hackney, the more interesting bits to race round.
Interestingly, the single-player element of Blur will feature a story, told through cutscenes from the same people who did those in Gears of War and, fashionably, by using an in-game social network. The social network element will also apply to the all-important multiplayer, with groups set up to compete in certain types of races.
And yes, the purists will be able to turn the power-ups off if they so choose. Blur was playable at E3, and a quick multiplayer play revealed its accessibility, with arranging power-ups into the available slots and using them at the appropriate time proving a key strategy.
Through largely dirty tactics I managed a couple of mid-table positions, and, unlike my driving test I didn't mount the kerb while attempting to reverse round a corner. If only they could come up with a power-up for that. When It Was seen last year, Blur was a bit average.
But 12 months make all the difference in the wonderful world of game development, and Liverpool-based Bizarre Creations - responsible for the excellent Project Gotham Racing series - has put some roar back into its racer's whimpering exhaust. However, Bizarre have now clearly decided to make a racer that lies at the Mario end of the spectrum - and it's all the more fun for it. Firing Shunt - a sort of electric red shell - is now a violent, satisfying barrel roll of death cast on your unlucky motorcar target, and, like the Mario Kaii projectile, you can fire it backwards in your chasing opponents' faces, which is ever so satisfying.
Likewise dropping a mine, unlike the dull tin cans in last year's build, now casts an angry and massive black hole waiting to explode in the faces of any unlucky BMW that drifts into its path; while getting annihilated by a first placehoming Shock inches from the finish line is now part and parcel of the experience. All of these attacks on your car will leave you shouting and swearing at your monitor, while grinning wildly.
Having the acclaimed racing house finally pick a side of the fence is great to see. Last year's game had a clear identity crisis as Bizzare attempted to please both hardcore fans and less corner-carving savvy gainers, and ended up satisfying no-one at all.
This year's Blur is slick, focused and smartly edited. But it'd be naive to expect the creator of five highly praised racing games to simply pump out a mindless mum-and-dad Kart entry: power-ups are clearly well-balanced and abilities like the aforementioned Shock limit their payload to a few yards in front of the lead car, meaning skilled players can dodge them.
The cars handle well too: ignore the Mario influence and you'll believe you're behind the wheel in a proper arcade racer. The selection of motors on offer range from slick speedsters, drift-happy muscle cars, and the obligatory rough-and-tumble jeeps and vans. The most impressive aspect of Blur's race is the sheer physical oomph of battling 19 other vehicles - and their magical zapping skills - around Hackney yes, that's one of the race courses.
The traditional first corner pile-up was simply one of the most intense racing experiences we've had: Audis being blasted out of existence, and scenery thrown 10 feet in the air - it's mental. The boosted driver count means that Blur is a racer In which your opponents are never far away. In fact, most of the time they'll be scratching up your body work, trying to send you flying into a lake or a corner shop with the Force Push-like Barge.
Like the current king of the FPS genre, Blur includes game changing perks called 'Mods' , Challenges and experience points for levelling up and unlocking goodies.
