Blur is an action/racing game developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Activision. Aiming to steal Mario Kart’s throne, it tries to steal the target audience by stating that this game is for “grown men”.
The game’s main focus is an action-intensive racing game where each racer can use various power ups to gain an advantage over the other racers. The cars are modeled after realistic vehicles by different real life car manufacturers.
However, the game fails to achieve its role. The amount of power-ups made available to the player is very limited. The vehicles in the game are very easy to handle. However, the lack of race tracks and different game modes put this game at a disadvantage. While Mario Kart’s tracks are filled with colorful patterns and challenges, Blur’s courses are all standard looking race courses with very little variability.
