@@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.
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)
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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
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!
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 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).
@@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
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.
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!".
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.
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 RUclips 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'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
I found that if you build a red power play as fast as you can on lap 1 and trigger a map altering one on lap 2 before they get too far apart and ahead, you can pretty reliably gain a fairly big lead and past that it's just a matter of keeping it clean, though ideally you need to know the layout in every permutation and be able to keep track of where the opponents are to do that consistently
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
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
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 bought Split/Second at launch and loved it. But yes, it can get bloody difficult. I was majorly disappointed to learn Black Rock Studios got shut down given how this game ended. I really wanted to see Split/Second Season 2 but alas, it’s never happened. I still revisit this game on occasion. Always a good, if challenging, time.
Just so you know at the time before the closure, Black Rock already worked for the sequel, there are many concept art for the game and even someone found the lost prototype build of the 2nd game, its basically still reusing the original game assets just different physics So actually we almost got what we deserve for this game, yes the sequel but well thanks Disney Studio and screw y'all forever
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.
Split second to be continued ending is probably can becoming the one of the most desperatelly clifhanger ending in the history of gaming beside HALF LIFE EPISODE 2 ending or XENOGEARS disc 2 ending
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!
Please pleas do the motorstorm series. I was a xbox 360 through and through back in the day. But I got a taste of the first motorstorm on my cousins PlayStation. I them had a PlayStation for a short time and rented motorstorm 2. the game absolutely hooked me. Its soundtrack. It's aesthetic, the cars. The setting. A truly appreciated gem. I feel you channel really needs to cover the triology as they fit your edgy arcade racers you cover sometimes. Long time sub and supporter. Much love. Adam xx
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 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.
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 😂😭
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.

Finally this game gets the recognition it deserves
imagine real life TV series in S/S lore man
@@jacpia96 that would be sick
It needs more
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.
This is one of the most underrated racing games ever. I loved it. Played it so much on my psp
i broke my psp display because of it. it was a pretty unfair game..
@@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.

Along with blur
This and blur were incredible!!! So underrated.
blur can be amazing specialy now with all those amazing lighting graphics on ps5
Ah blur. I am also sad about that game. Second game looks cool.

No
@@Solomon_C well thank you for respecting my opinion😊
I respect yours, too!😊👋
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.

I gotta say the difficulty was always spot-on. Never too easy but also possible to win.
Golden in every race? Didn't know that was possible but congrats.
And what is your favorite map?
@@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.

@@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.
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....
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.
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.
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.

I hope the devs are aware that we all are grateful for this masterpeice
Split Second had the best music and presentations (in the previews) of any racing game I’ve ever been able to recall. The main theme is a masterpiece.
A true hidden gem. An amazing game that deserves a sequel.
This game got my heart beat faster. The explosive seems exaggerated, but at least they made an enviroment feedback.
Now I want a review of Pure, man what a game. Would love a re-release.

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.
Another great review by youtube best racing game reviewer!!
I still have this game and it runs amazing on my xbox one x
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!".
Split second is by far one of my most favorite games lol, they really focused on everything with this game.
Thats some pretty fucking insane editing you did on this video!
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.
I played this as a teenager. I enjoyed it enough to look back on it fondly and buy a new copy 2/3 years ago cuz my old one is long gone
oh hell yeah colourshed coming in clutch with a new review
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 RUclips 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 loved this game...
I love different destruction models and this ship falling down, or a skyscraper, damn.
Next you gotta do the legend that is Ridge Racer Type 4
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
I’ve never heard of that. Is it as good as S/S? And what platforms can it be found on?
@@shadowgandalf Apple Arcade for iPhone
That’s disappointing. Was hoping you’d say PS4, or at least Steam. Thank you for the answer though.
@@shadowgandalf Are you seriously dismissing the game just because it happens to be on mobile?
@@thereviewerplays1932 I don’t have access to Apple Arcade
Loved those 'glitch' transitions
Great game! Great review! Thanks for putting in the time and work.
This was my childhood, this game is so great.
Amazing video like always!!
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!
Great review!
Honestly this game absolutely needs the sequel, but more so it needs an FPS boost on the Xbox BC version!
Never been this quick on a vid. But this gonna be gooooood
i remember seeing an ad for this game on discovery channel back then and it made me buy it
The fact that i saw this at 2 in the morning scared me, i need help
This needs a remaster already!! It’s one I truly enjoyed
Split/Second and blur made have a mark in my childhood. Wonderful and energetic!
Absolute beast of a racing game
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
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 found that if you build a red power play as fast as you can on lap 1 and trigger a map altering one on lap 2 before they get too far apart and ahead, you can pretty reliably gain a fairly big lead and past that it's just a matter of keeping it clean, though ideally you need to know the layout in every permutation and be able to keep track of where the opponents are to do that consistently
Feels fresh
Dang your fast
Because it aged well
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
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
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.
Man this brought back some memories
This is absolutely one of the greatest arcade racing games ever.. so, so briliant and massively fun .. absolutely fantastic
Loved every split second of this game.
and it was gone in a split second
Funny thing is there is actually ost named like that:
ruclips.net/video/o3QplDH_7sk/видео.html
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 split second music sounds like its from a movie, btw just heard the gone in a split second song....instant nostalgia
I am glad people know this game despite being criminally underrated. I wish this game gets a sequel from the new developers.
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 bought Split/Second at launch and loved it. But yes, it can get bloody difficult. I was majorly disappointed to learn Black Rock Studios got shut down given how this game ended. I really wanted to see Split/Second Season 2 but alas, it’s never happened.
I still revisit this game on occasion. Always a good, if challenging, time.
Just so you know at the time before the closure, Black Rock already worked for the sequel, there are many concept art for the game and even someone found the lost prototype build of the 2nd game, its basically still reusing the original game assets just different physics
So actually we almost got what we deserve for this game, yes the sequel but well thanks Disney Studio and screw y'all forever
I love Blur and Split/Second. I wish there was a mashup of both.
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.
Man I really wish they would make another one of these this game was lit
I played this game and finished it. It's to this day my most favorite racing game. I came with very original concepts.
You know what's even sadder? The game's Season Mode ends on a cliffhanger so we'll never get to see any conclusion.
Split second to be continued ending is probably can becoming the one of the most desperatelly clifhanger ending in the history of gaming beside HALF LIFE EPISODE 2 ending or XENOGEARS disc 2 ending
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!
Please pleas do the motorstorm series. I was a xbox 360 through and through back in the day. But I got a taste of the first motorstorm on my cousins PlayStation. I them had a PlayStation for a short time and rented motorstorm 2. the game absolutely hooked me. Its soundtrack. It's aesthetic, the cars. The setting. A truly appreciated gem. I feel you channel really needs to cover the triology as they fit your edgy arcade racers you cover sometimes. Long time sub and supporter. Much love. Adam xx
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.
This game is like burnout, f-zero, and THUG2 smashed together into an awesome arcade racing experience
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.
Yes, This, Blur and Pure (ATV racing) were great gems of the time!
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.
One of the most underrated game of all time, it deserves a sequel
There was gonna be a sequel, but it got cancelled.
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 😂😭
this game is literally my childhood, i can say spllit second is the best race game ever made!
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.
