Burnout 2: Point of Impact vs Split/Second

Burnout 2: Point of Impact puts you behind the wheel of powerful cars tearing through sprawling city streets, traffic, and obstacles. The game rewards aggressive, off‑the‑road tactics, letting you build boost by near‑misses, drifts, and spectacular jumps. The split‑screen multiplayer lets friends compete head‑to‑head, while single‑player modes challenge you to master the art of controlled chaos. With a focus on speed, crashes, and a dynamic boost meter, the title delivers nonstop adrenaline for racing enthusiasts.

Split/Second is an intense action racing game set within a reality television show where competitors vie to be the first to the finish line in a made-for-TV city set rigged to blow. Players don't just collide with other vehicles to knock them from the track, but can also trigger devastating events that drastically alter the dynamics of the race. Players must use pinpoint timing to obliterate huge structures and towering TV set pieces to tactically alter the track or create entirely new routes with the ultimate goal of becoming the season champion.
