Split/Second

Anyone else eagerly anticipating Split/Second? It's an action racing game that's based upon a reality TV show. The basic premise is that you drive around tracks like a lunatic and try and dodge whatever the environment throws at you, like falling buildings and explosions which you earn the right to set off by driving like the aforementioned lunatic! It sounds very similar to the film "Death Race" only without the chain guns and missiles to look forward to.

It looks great (quite like Burnout: Paradise) and I think it could be a genuinely fun game to play as long as everything isn't completely scripted (i.e. a building doesn't fall down in the exact same manner every race). The multiplayer (up to 8 players) has the most potential but I think it will have to sell well for the potential to be realised!
