@@Petar321_GT Sounds like you were used to racing games with come-back mechanics like Nitrous or Rubber-banding. Sounds like you sucked and couldn't get over it.
One of the best underrated racing games ever made. The cars designs, the music, the gameplay, everything is amazing. The airplane crash moment still gives me gosebumps.
Somehow, I golded every single event in this game. Yeah, it was rage inducing at points and made me wish it didn't exist. But, despite all that, I still have a real soft spot for it. I don't know why. Probably, for the reasons like you said, it is so clear the developers put heart and soul into this, and in the end, that's really all that matters and something that I really miss. But also, the soundtrack. Wow, it is really good. I honestly did not mind hearing the same song a million times repeating the same Elite event over and over again, something deep down was actually happy that I got to listen to it again.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 It's possible though, myself included also have some rage when trying to reach it. And when there's an event which it was hard for me and finally I won it, it just feels satisfiying. My favorite track was Airport I think, because the place looks quite different than other maps (there was 4 places was used for maps, I think, which is a city, canyon, harbor, and some sort of factory, but the Airport one looks different than any one of these 4)
This game was such a golden racing games that hasil different adrenaline of racing that's about destruction with the Environment, as well the soundtrack as epic So pissed, when they say "To Be Continued..."
Same here, I always got frustrated with how difficult this game was but turned out I was letting the game beat me instead of beating it, this game taught me one thing, don't let a challenging game punk you, you purchase it you rule it.
Bought this game at a GameStop around the end of the 360s lifespan, didn't have too much fun with it, and never really expected it to start to have a cult classic following like it does now. Excellent review.
Im glad you finally did this review. This is one of my all time favorite games, enough to make me wanna upload the soundtracks, along with doing a full playthrough of the beta. This game will forever be king. And you got people like me still playing it to this day!
@@mraero01 I have imagine one collaboration when I was also with FNAF community. Imagine FNAF(6)(Five Nights At Freddy's) ,TJOC(The Joy of Creation) X S/S(Split/Second)
This game made me drop my jaw when I first used one of the track-altering power moves, it's very fun overall but the difficulty really makes it hard to enjoy, i never finished it after the difficulty skyrocketed for me in like chapter 6 or so So many times I've seen a SUV just go past my car (even if im at full speed on the fastest car) on the last lap, can't even try and block or make him crash because enemy cars are on rails and they will just run over yours if you don't move over Another moment I remember is one of the races having a gas station that worked as a shortcut right before the finish line. Behind me there was a car, if i took the shortcut he'd blow it up and I'd die. If i didn't take it, then he'd take it and win. This repeated for like 4 times i had to restart the race until I got lucky
This game was absolutely wonderful as a kid. I thought games couldn't possibly get better. I even bought all the dlc. Looking back now though it definitely lacked replay ability, and there weren't really "strategies" other than mind games with the gates, so the tracks, once you saw all their demolition events, got old. That being said there wasn't much more they could've done with it given the hardware of the time, so it's still a very special game to come back to from time to time. Loved and still love all the cinematic elements, the headlight glare, the vignette, the subtle shaky cam, it was all very deliberate and makes the game stick out, explosions not withstanding. thanks for coming to my ted talk and thanks for the review
You can definitely play strategies with the timing of power plays, sometimes using sometimes not using, mind games as you say. Im a ten year veteran of the game.
This is by far one of my favorite racing games of all time. The fact that I could play the same map 100 times but something different would happen every time was just so satisfying. There were some power plays coming back to the game that I swear I never saw, or forgot about. Airport Terminal (the first map) has like 7 different route changes and I would find myself holding Orange just to see what else can happen.
Split/Second was a banger! I have had a demo of this game on Xbox 360 but never had the money to buy it. I replayed that demo over and over again whenever I could.
I remember renting this game from my local Hollywood Video back in 2010 and I couldn't put it down. Ended up 100% completing it within the week that I had it rented for. I don't remember it being too difficult personally, but I could understand the frustration of the adaptive AI for sure. I just was always amazed that Disney of all companies published this game and it honestly was one of the most memorable arcade racers of my childhood (right next to burnout).
I still play this game online in PS3 but at a competitive level and thanks to discord there's a community that still supports this underated game. I wish there was a remaster 🙏. I love this arcade fast paced racing game. Very unique in every aspect such as stage development, sound and style of gameplay. The Ryback firestorm is the only vehicle that kept me from coming back just to feel the rush adrenaline coming out the drift mechanism cause the more you drift the more speed you gain. Overall, this game is still fun to enjoy 🤘
It was kinda impressive at the time it was released, even though it had not the best driving physics and frame rate drops on the older systems. The explosions and sound design was a blast while the soundtrack does a great job to deliver the action! Sure it was very scripted and once you unlocked and seen everything it gets kinda boring! Played the PC Version by the way where the copyright protection annoyed the shit outta me and because the servers are down you can't activate the codes anymore, which means it's completely unplayable on PC! If they would re-release the game for next gen i would perhaps finish the campaign for the second time!
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 i was literally playing modern warfare 2 and black ops 1 at the time and had more fun with these games. it was good when it was released but thats it.
Try local splitscreen with your friends. Bought this brand new way back when and still get requests to host game parties where we play this exclusively.
I loved this game ever since I picked it up on the 360, I love even more that there are people still talking about it up to this day. I also loved playing vs with my friends in that survival mode where you have to dodge trucks that have barrels falling down, jeez I was so bad at it but it was such a rush anyways when you were on the lead and you have to make that gap larger for the oponent only to screw it up and seeing the gap getting smaller and smaller, such a blast of a game through and through
as much as I violently hate the name, Ridge Racer Unbounded was a really good scratch to the split/second itch when I first discovered it exists. it's sad it has the ridge racer name, but boy is it fun
It was horrible though. It has probably the worse driving model I've seen in an arcade game and that probably includes Flatout 3. Like how do you take a franchise famous for drifting and make drifting so bad?
Funnily enough, it was 2012 and while searching for Split Second in a game shop the consultant recommended I try Ridge Racer Unbounded instead (must be because they didn't have Split Second in stock or never even heard of it) RRU turned out to be my first ever Steam game. And I remember recently revisiting it and 100%ing. The environment design in that game deserves just as much props as Split Second's!
I'm very happy to see more and more videos talking about this underrated game! I'm still playing this game to this day, and it still looks as go as it came out! Thank you a lot for making this video, it is very well done and the writing is on point!
I’ve just recently gone back on Split Second for the first time in years to work on getting the platinum. Some of the events are very frustrating but I won’t be giving up on it. It’s a really cool arcade racing game. I think this and Blur were two very underrated 7th gen racers.
@@brokenhearth1826 yeah but a new game requires alot of resources and all the old one required was more attention.. if someone did a graphic overhaul fixed a few bugs and improved the framerate on it now and sold it as a remaster with some good marketing it would go boom and there would be funding for atleast two sequals
@@brokenhearth1826 disney dropped it so if someone else decided to pick it up or disney decided to pick it back up theyd need to get the attention of the company first there really isnt a better solution than a lightly overhauled game sold as remaster giving it a second breath of life it so rightfully deserves especially in this modern age when ppl are slowly becoming bored of the slow stale year by year released games.... need for speed/ forza/ fifa/ call of duty
@@bluetiger9756 the only way that we will see SS back is beside the resource and money from the developer is that there must be a some game studio that dares to bought the SS trademark from disney and let them developed the game with their own take a look at what happened to TDU and Flatout, these two games are dying in the past because their developer are gone but now we could seen them returned because the courageness of Nacon and Kylotonn that bought the game trademark and moved the game developing into their studio and the result was well like what we seen now, even everyone was hyped with TDU SC so the great thing was just hope that there was some studio that dares to bought the SS trademark from disney and let them developing the game, considering how screwed up disney in gaming world now
I'm sad you didn't mention Detonation Racing, a spiritual successor of Split/Second that made by the former devs that previously worked on split/second. i just hope that game got more exposure so this concept will stay around longer
Thanks for this. I own this game on my PSP, PS3, Steam on PC, and in the PS Plus classics collection on PS5. My all-time favorite arcade racer, with Burnout 3, a close second. I always described it to friends as Burnout Kart. I love Pure as well. Have it on PS3. Great video!
THE BEST arcade racing game for sure. Last lap red button changes of the map, especially the air field control tower collapse when leading cars have already gone to the old route. Absolutely maddening chaos :D
Finally this game got the attention it needed , unfortunately it is too late now that the studio was shut down , I remember thinking about split second when you were reviewing the burnout series and I was surprised to see that no-one on UA-cam posted a proper review for this game . Luckily you saw my suggestion on patreon along with your subscribers who voted for it. Now if anyone stumbles apon the name "split second " and searches for it , they will have a well done and written review that i guarantee will bring lots of new players to a game that's only fault was to be released along giants.
I still remember accidentally entering a competition through the 360 many years ago and ended up receiving a free copy of this game from Disney themselves as a result. I still have it with me today with the piece of paper it came with to thank me for entering the competition and "Here is your free copy of Split/Second Velocity. Happy Racing!".
Oh it's not that hard, you just need to git gud /s Although on the more serious side, opponents getting ahead and taking yourself out more than opponents with the moves is something that you learn. The game puts the opponents ahead specifically for you to take out, otherwise you just sit at the front waiting for the shortcut or track layout moves. I hate that this game never got a sequel. And that disney owns it so any imitator will be taken to a dark alley and shot, even if they're EA or something.
this. I used to race my cousin splitscreen on every track, and after a few playthroughs you could win every race if you just drifted well and knew the power plays.
This game was to me pure fun. I never thought this game as very hard. I played it when I was a kid, but difficulty wasnt something on my mind. I didnt won every single match obviously, but when I lost I tried again until I won.
Split/second was such a fantastic game, I personally loved every aspect of it and is up there as one of my all time favourite arcade racing games, it don't do enough to knock off burnout 3 from the top of that list for me though. I feel like this is one of the very last great arcade racing games and man do I miss that era
A true forgotten banger, I recently played through in full on PSNow having only ever played the demo when it came out. Still slaps, the sense of speed is phenomenal and for sheer white knuckle excitement I can't say I've ever felt another driving game hit the heights.
I played this as a teen and loved it! I just recently got the game on sale for $5 and it is one of the best racing games I've ever played! This is a seriously underrated game, and any fan of the racing genre owes themselves to give it a shot. Especially if it's only $5!
Honestly, I thought this was a really cool concept which could have used a bit more refinement in future installments. Pity we won't see them. That being said, if someone ever brought the Stuntman series back, this would be a great competitive online mode. Racing around the sets and backlots of the studios with some explosives that the crews had, ahem, left over from the shoots.
My best friend growing up gave this to me on my 10th birthday party. We played it all night. What we especially loved was the one gimmick power play at the airport terminal where a fuckin C5 Galaxy crash lands into the runway to take out opponents. We were practically pissing our pants with laughter for not kidding, 10 minutes. Oh take me back to simpler times 😂😭
When this game was free on Xbox, it allowed me to get the final achievement I was missing. A criminally underrated game and I'm sad there has been nothing like it for years. I was an early adopter of this game, I even got a special DLC car that was exclusive to pre-order at a certain store in the UK, which has also gone defunct since.
I got this game 2 weeks early. It was, and still is, the only game I have ever gotten the Platinum Trophy for and completely 100%'d the whole thing. It does take dedication, but I eventually got to a point where I just didn't lose anymore. Against AI or Players, I was consistently in first place. Eventually sold it one day to make ends meet xD but boy was it a great time
Words can not explain how much I love this game. This is not your typical brainless car game , where you just drive from point A to point B and pimp your car a little bit. Nope this game literally gets my adrenalin going, because you don't know what danger lays ahead and you must be ready to make a decision in a split second to stay alive. There's really nothing else like it and that's what makes it so special. I wish they could make a part 2, but the studio who made this is no more. 😭
Love ya work ColurShed! Split/Secound is my childhood and i absolutly love this game. It's trully hard game (but i don't think it's that hard)! i re-played it last year and i'm super sad about Black Rock Studios. Today we don't get that much crazy ideas in games.
I got Split/Second when the game first came out, and it must have been doing something right since that main theme song has been stuck in my head ever since.
I really loved this game. I played on the ps3 and it always reminded me of Death Race without the gore. This would be such a good game with todays graphics and with maybe a rated M rating for a more grim experience.
I loved this game back in the day. Got it on PC and the destructible enviroments as well as the format were something fresh. Also there’s a plot twist at the end of the „tv show” which had teenage me confused. Still, highly recommend, an amazing game.
This is one of my favorite racers on the ps3. Such a original game. All the racing was so original. I really hoped for a sequel. But we all know that aint gonna happend.

The fact Disney of all people published this game genuinely shocks me
Maybe Disney wanted to have something similar like the Speed Racer movie from Warner Bros. in their portfolio.
The same company that made Frozen
Also made Pure!
PC port was crap.
@@Petar321_GT Yeah just blame the port. Games on consoles will always function without issues. The same can't be said for PC games.

And what is your favorite map?

@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 I think my favourite one was probably the DLC Quarry one or the shipyard, which had my favourite power play.
I've golden everything too. I love everything about this game. It's mario kart for real men.
Split Second is truly a unique game. I wish they came out with a second game.
The original soundtrack is honestly amazing. It might get a little old but saying it fits the tone perfectly is an understatement.
Attaching the HUD for the game to the back of your car is a really neat idea, and should be done in more racing games.
This game was such a golden racing games that hasil different adrenaline of racing that's about destruction with the Environment, as well the soundtrack as epic
So pissed, when they say "To Be Continued..."
Yeah these guys from 1982....
I played this gem on my PS3 a while back, it was amazing! It's a shame that a sequel/prequel set in the early 80's for this game was cancelled.

We want more reviews per month ! These are great !
Thanks for this. I own this game on my PSP, PS3, Steam on PC, and in the PS Plus classics collection on PS5. My all-time favorite arcade racer, with Burnout 3, a close second. I always described it to friends as Burnout Kart. I love Pure as well. Have it on PS3. Great video!
I love Blur and Split/Second. I wish there was a mashup of both.
THE BEST arcade racing game for sure. Last lap red button changes of the map, especially the air field control tower collapse when leading cars have already gone to the old route. Absolutely maddening chaos :D
Split/Second and blur made have a mark in my childhood. Wonderful and energetic!
i'm happy to see finally your channel start gain big subs.
I remember watching Nerdcubed play this game and I was hooked, this was a throwback for sure!
This needs a remaster already!! It’s one I truly enjoyed
Finally this game got the attention it needed , unfortunately it is too late now that the studio was shut down , I remember thinking about split second when you were reviewing the burnout series and I was surprised to see that no-one on UA-cam posted a proper review for this game . Luckily you saw my suggestion on patreon along with your subscribers who voted for it. Now if anyone stumbles apon the name "split second " and searches for it , they will have a well done and written review that i guarantee will bring lots of new players to a game that's only fault was to be released along giants.
I played ten years before retiring but it's still one of my favorite games
I still play this game to this day. I wish so much for a spiritual successor. I feel there is nothing else like this
I still remember accidentally entering a competition through the 360 many years ago and ended up receiving a free copy of this game from Disney themselves as a result. I still have it with me today with the piece of paper it came with to thank me for entering the competition and "Here is your free copy of Split/Second Velocity. Happy Racing!".
Oh it's not that hard, you just need to git gud /s
Although on the more serious side, opponents getting ahead and taking yourself out more than opponents with the moves is something that you learn. The game puts the opponents ahead specifically for you to take out, otherwise you just sit at the front waiting for the shortcut or track layout moves.
I hate that this game never got a sequel. And that disney owns it so any imitator will be taken to a dark alley and shot, even if they're EA or something.
this. I used to race my cousin splitscreen on every track, and after a few playthroughs you could win every race if you just drifted well and knew the power plays.
This game was to me pure fun. I never thought this game as very hard. I played it when I was a kid, but difficulty wasnt something on my mind. I didnt won every single match obviously, but when I lost I tried again until I won.
Man I really wish they would make another one of these this game was lit
This was my childhood, this game is so great.
This game is like burnout, f-zero, and THUG2 smashed together into an awesome arcade racing experience
This is absolutely one of the greatest arcade racing games ever.. so, so briliant and massively fun .. absolutely fantastic
I am glad people know this game despite being criminally underrated. I wish this game gets a sequel from the new developers.
Great game! Great review! Thanks for putting in the time and work.
Loved those 'glitch' transitions
Split/second was such a fantastic game, I personally loved every aspect of it and is up there as one of my all time favourite arcade racing games, it don't do enough to knock off burnout 3 from the top of that list for me though.
I feel like this is one of the very last great arcade racing games and man do I miss that era
Great review!
A true forgotten banger, I recently played through in full on PSNow having only ever played the demo when it came out. Still slaps, the sense of speed is phenomenal and for sheer white knuckle excitement I can't say I've ever felt another driving game hit the heights.
Loved every split second of this game.
I played this game and finished it. It's to this day my most favorite racing game. I came with very original concepts.
Thats some pretty fucking insane editing you did on this video!
I played this as a teen and loved it! I just recently got the game on sale for $5 and it is one of the best racing games I've ever played! This is a seriously underrated game, and any fan of the racing genre owes themselves to give it a shot. Especially if it's only $5!
I still have this game and it runs amazing on my xbox one x
Absolute beast of a racing game
Amazing video like always!!
Honestly, I thought this was a really cool concept which could have used a bit more refinement in future installments. Pity we won't see them.
That being said, if someone ever brought the Stuntman series back, this would be a great competitive online mode. Racing around the sets and backlots of the studios with some explosives that the crews had, ahem, left over from the shoots.
Yes, This, Blur and Pure (ATV racing) were great gems of the time!
My best friend growing up gave this to me on my 10th birthday party. We played it all night. What we especially loved was the one gimmick power play at the airport terminal where a fuckin C5 Galaxy crash lands into the runway to take out opponents. We were practically pissing our pants with laughter for not kidding, 10 minutes. Oh take me back to simpler times 😂😭
One of the best racers I've played. The split screen mode is brilliant! Funny it was never mentioned.
I loved this game back when it came out. I thought it was fun and it has good graphics for the PS3/Xbox 360 IMO.
When this game was free on Xbox, it allowed me to get the final achievement I was missing. A criminally underrated game and I'm sad there has been nothing like it for years. I was an early adopter of this game, I even got a special DLC car that was exclusive to pre-order at a certain store in the UK, which has also gone defunct since.
this game is literally my childhood, i can say spllit second is the best race game ever made!
I got this game 2 weeks early. It was, and still is, the only game I have ever gotten the Platinum Trophy for and completely 100%'d the whole thing. It does take dedication, but I eventually got to a point where I just didn't lose anymore. Against AI or Players, I was consistently in first place. Eventually sold it one day to make ends meet xD but boy was it a great time
Both Pure and Split/Second are hidden gems for the PS3. Also: Describing Pure as "SSX Tricky on ATVs" is exactly how I've always described it😁
Another great review by youtube best racing game reviewer!!
Words can not explain how much I love this game. This is not your typical brainless car game , where you just drive from point A to point B and pimp your car a little bit. Nope this game literally gets my adrenalin going, because you don't know what danger lays ahead and you must be ready to make a decision in a split second to stay alive. There's really nothing else like it and that's what makes it so special. I wish they could make a part 2, but the studio who made this is no more. 😭
This game the only game what I played with me older borther. No other had such a good grasp of terror and pure excitement in a racer game.
Love ya work ColurShed! Split/Secound is my childhood and i absolutly love this game. It's trully hard game (but i don't think it's that hard)! i re-played it last year and i'm super sad about Black Rock Studios. Today we don't get that much crazy ideas in games.
I got Split/Second when the game first came out, and it must have been doing something right since that main theme song has been stuck in my head ever since.
I really loved this game. I played on the ps3 and it always reminded me of Death Race without the gore. This would be such a good game with todays graphics and with maybe a rated M rating for a more grim experience.
A surprise review to be sure, but an extremely welcome one.
I loved this game back in the day. Got it on PC and the destructible enviroments as well as the format were something fresh. Also there’s a plot twist at the end of the „tv show” which had teenage me confused. Still, highly recommend, an amazing game.
This is one of my favorite racers on the ps3. Such a original game. All the racing was so original. I really hoped for a sequel. But we all know that aint gonna happend.
This use to be our groups LAN racing. This and Race Driver Grid. To hear everyone go mad. Over someone using the map track change is epic
One of my favorite racing games of all time, I wish they made a sequel
oh hell yeah colourshed coming in clutch with a new review
