It features a racing style that incorporates over 50 licensed and customs cars, 14 real locations, and realistic car physics and damage modeling with arcade vehicular combat. This combat consist of 8 [[power-ups]] like [[shunt | missile's]], [[shield | shields]], and [[nitro | speed boosts]]. All the power-ups are energy based and don't represent any actually objcects. The progress a player makes in the game is based on fan points, a new version of Project Gotham's Kudos system. Fan points are rewarded for drifting, using power-ups, and more. However, [[Career| career mode]] fan points and [[Online Multiplayer|online multiplayer]] fan points are separate. Blur is designed to tie closely with the game's website and also integrates with the popular social networking sites Facebook and Twitter to post race results, stats, and activities a player is doing. Some special car models have been designed by Bizarre Creations themselves. There are also some heavily altered versions of familiar urban environments, such as the Los Angeles river halfpipe. |
