Split Second - hands on

When the racing genre is done to death, where else can you turn to to refresh the game? By blowing up the track, of course!

While other games use powerups and weapons, Split Second gives you the ability to blow up the course to take out the competition, sometimes altering the entire course altogether!

While the concept is interesting, it appears to be the only thing going for it now. I enjoy the hub located underneath the car, though, minimizing the need to search the screen for your data.
