Story:Made by the masters behind Project Gotham Racing and Metropolis Street Racer, Blur is a racing project by Bizarre Creations that aims to take arcade-style action and realistic driving physics to a whole new level. The game drops players into heart-pumping, electrified racing action with 20 cars on a track all targeting the finish line and battling each other as they trade paint and collect intense power-ups, including the ability to blast other cars out of the way with huge bursts of energy, boost their speed, and more. While controlling photo-realistic cars, gamers can use offensive and defensive attacks as they battle for the lead and careen through real-world track locations ranging from L.A. and San Francisco to the streets of Hackney, UK and the treacherous roads of Barcelona, Spain.Show more

This game holds many great memories for me and my friend. One of the first games we played together when he got his 360. They truly don't make these games anymore, arcadey big budget BALL OF FUN
This game still holds up to this day, I know because I own it for PS3, and there used to be a PC version of it out a long time ago. This and Split/Second were a lot of fun but unfortunately both came out at the same time which hurt each other. Most gamers couldn't afford to buy both games and so a lot had to choose one or the other back then which probably hurt the sales of each of them. This was like Mario Kart but with real vehicles and is a lot of fun. It is also quite challenging at times. But just like the burnout games there was parts that really made you feel like you were going REALLY fast. I doubt this will ever make it back to stores because of the licensing which is why it got removed way back when. I would suggest to others to sail the seven seas if they want to play this again on PC cause that's the only way you can really do it. And like the other person said, they don't really make games like these anymore. Which is a big shame. I don't care about realistic racing, I care about having fun! Which games like this, split/second, and the Burnout games did!

Best feeling combat racer to date. I showed my friend and he tried to find where to buy it and it's nowhere now? I still have it, so I can play it, but he can't find a copy... It would be a dream come true!

Genuinely one of the best racing games of all-time that could have, and should have been given the ability to grow further than the initial release. This had the the potential to start a new racing franchise that would cover a niche that's essentially primarily dominated by Mario Kart and has not been expanded upon in years. It's a massive shame that the second game that was in development got cancelled. It would have been truly an amazing game..

This game is so fun, it was about the only game I could play that had real cars that normal people could easily pick up. Bring this back with split screen and online and my money is yours.

This game was cool back in my Xbox 360 and is a direct competition to Split/Second Velocity. Disney and Activision going hard on is very rare to see. Played this via the disc release and it's suffers many issues. Go to PCGamingWiki and search Blur, then you see what I mean. Polished it up a bit and this game is golden!

my friend and i played this all the time, loved it!! we still talk about it to this day how much fun it was and how we miss playing it, what ended it for us was all the hackers towards the end of its life, apparently the developers were planning on a BLUR 2 but their were so many hackers that they just canned those plans. please bring it back!!

I loved playing this game on ps3 when it came out and I would love to play it on pc. Hopefully, if it gets released, I want to play it online with some of my friends.
esse jogo marcou a minha infância, eu sei que a probabilidade dele voltar é baixa por causa das marca licenciadas de carros, mas o sonho fica. ele é um mario kart "realista" com uma física que deixa os carros pesados e possui um multiplayer local de até 4 jogadores!!!

Combine Need For Speed ​​with Mario Kart and what do you get? Blur! Playing this game with 3 friends in split screen will always be one of the highlights of a gaming night! But even if you're alone, the story mode will keep you hooked for countless hours! Activision has to bring this classic back, preferably remastered! Who knows, maybe Blur's true potential will be explored and that long-awaited sequel that never came out will come out one day! Come on Activision, team up with GoG and make it happen!!!
