Split/Second

In this action-racing game, players compete in a fictional reality-TV show and race through environments pre-rigged with explosives. Players can set-off large fiery explosions that destroy buildings and structures, unlocking new paths and shortcuts. Players can also strategically detonate explosives to cause damage to other racers. Jets, construction vehicles, and buses can be found throughout the tracks, and they often explode or crash on top of the racers. Slow-motion effects sometimes highlight car wrecks during the competition. In a "survival" mode, players must avoid incoming missiles fired from a helicopter; players can use a "deflect meter" that sends missiles back at the helicopter.
