Not the actual racing, cars, tracks, or power ups. Yes, power ups. Blur is Bizarre Creations’ attempt to merge realistic racing with the arcadey action of a Mario Kart game. Throw in a Call of Dutyesque leveling system complete with challenges to complete and you have what on paper sounds like a rock solid hit.
