An unexpected combination of weighty arcade racing with kart-esque powerups sounds like a recipe for disaster, but Bizarre Creations managed to create a potent genre blender in Blur. The game's fantastic racing action is offset by it's somewhat flawed progression system, which requires you to arbitrarily complete set challenges rather than win races in order to unlock new events, and a lack of depth in personalization in any aspect. The sheer novelty of the gameplay, however, still makes this game worth revisiting.
