Split/Second Power Plant trailer

If you have yet to play the demo for Split/Second on Xbox Live, I suggest you do so. It’s very short, and includes a quick race around what looks to be an airport under construction against CPU racers.

The intensity of a constantly shifting and threatening environment is on par with what the videos have shown us. I didn’t necessarily like how cut and dry the commands were, however. It seemed to take away from the fun of being vindictive when power plays are dictated by on screen queues. Nevertheless, racing around explosions is still exciting, and – in true testament to its name – the winning of the race all comes down to the very last few seconds. Meaning, of course, that you can still make a comeback even after an epic crash through a bridge.

Check out the new Power Plant trailer below.
