Blur

[AndyB]

Blur is a new racing game coming to Xbox360, Ps3 and Pc.
Now it's still in Beta stage at the moment... BUT, I was luckily enough to grab a code from a friend. So I downloaded it and off I went playing online.

The best way to describe it is, Mario Kart with real cars. That's pushing it really.
It's a normal racer, with power-ups. (Like boost, nudge, shunt etc.)
Now I've only played for a little bit, but it is ALOT of fun.

Another fun little thing added is the ability to use twitter in game, now this'd come down to showing how many wins you have, ingame fans, the different stats you have blah blah blah.

I'll hopefully get some footage of it sometime tomorrow for you all to have a look at.
So until then... back to the driver's seat me thinks!

I love racing games!

Social networking in-game... Oh gawd, what has this world come to? Now you can tweet through the game. And I thought cellphones were bad. XD

Ok, so I got a video recorded and uploaded finally.

Sorry for any jittery parts, my laptop hates me.

Andy, can you describe the Power-ups? I think I might be able to get a code from a friend.
Boost is self-explanatory, but I don't know what the other ones do.

For what platform?

I don't know, but he said he has one. I'll check.

EDIT: I MSN'ed my friend and he lied. He didn't have one >_>

i dont care for racing games usually but the beta footage on frosty looked kinda cool, not worth a buy to me but maybe a demo or borrow from friend.

Ok, so I'll run it off what it says in the game.
Green- Nitro, that's the boost obviously.
Red- Shunt, a Powerful homing missle that flips cars into the air.
Purple- Barge, a Close range attack that blasts nearby vehicles away from you.
Pink- Bolt, Shoot three energy rounds to nudge your opponents off course.
Yellow- Repair, Repairs all damage you've taken.
Orange- Mine, Spins vehicles out of control. Can be thrown forwards or backwards.
White- Shield, Protects you from Power-up impact and collision damage.
Blue- Shock, fire three EMP fields in front of the race leader.

There. =D

Haha, the Red and Blue power ups, are like the Red and Blue Turtle shell respectively.

Haha yeah, you can see what they'd match with in Mario Kart.
