YMMV / Split/Second (2010)

• Best Level Ever: The Quarry track from the Onslaught DLC. It's an incredibly twisty route set in a cool environment that's stuffed to the gills with unique Power Plays. Seriously, you can't drive ten feet without being able to blow something up.
• Complacent Gaming Syndrome: The Ryback Firestorm is basically the go-to car for multiplayer due to how it drifts.
• Fridge Logic: Look at the cars closely whenever you get the opportunity—there are no drivers. They must be remotely controlled, or the "show" is a highly advanced virtual reality simulation.
• Friendly Fandoms: With Blur and ModNation Racers, due to the games having similar premises, release dates, and fates.
• Shocking Moments:
  • "...is that a fucking plane!?"
  • "...was that a fucking cruise ship?"
  • "...are cars and trucks raining from the sky?!"
  • "...did they just collapse two nuclear reactor cooling towers?!"
  • "...was that an entire dam that just caved in?!"
• Signature Scene: The plane crash-landing on the Airport Terminal runway is basically the go-to example for how crazy Power Plays can get.
• So Okay, It's Average: The reception for the PSP port of the game. While it still retained the gameplay of its HD counterparts as well as adding one more track, the graphical limitations of the engine definitely hurt the gameplay.
• That One Level:
  • Storm Drain. Only two laps and an absolute killer deathtrap sequence from passing through a long warehouse.
  • Who here claimed a gold on the Ryback Thunder Challenge without breaking a controller or two? Hell, who here played the Ryback Thunder Challenge without breaking a controller or two? Yeah, thought so.
  • Any Detonator can be this if you're not used to the car they give you. Since Detonators are won by milliseconds, not being in tune with your car can turn an already challenging event into a nightmare.
