Split/Second - The Racing Game that Time Forgot [Retrospective]
Everyone knows about arcade racers like those from the Burnout, Need for Speed, Midnight Club franchises and what have you. Everyone knows about the sudden explosion of cinematic games with brown color palettes around the tail-end of the 2000s. And 90s kids remember the 90s.
Today, we look into a game that was inspired by all these things and so much more, a game that crippled itself at release and failed to reach out to the public in-spite of its originality and quality.
Today, we look at Split/Second.

Addendum 2: -
Check out Rusty's comment that I pinned and read through the comment chain. I've revised several of my opinions regarding the handling system, and there's crucial info you're better off knowing.
