Destruction Derby 2 vs Split/Second

Destruction Derby 2 builds on the chaotic fun of its predecessor, delivering fast‑paced racing action where crashing opponents is just as important as crossing the finish line. Set across a variety of tracks, the game rewards aggressive driving and strategic vehicle upgrades, making every race a high‑octane showdown.

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.
