Destruction Derby vs Split/Second

Destruction Derby puts you behind the wheel of heavily armored cars where the goal is not just speed, but survival. Navigate treacherous tracks, ram opponents, and watch your vehicle crumble as you fight for the top spot. The game blends classic racing mechanics with intense vehicular combat, offering both single‑player challenges and split‑screen multiplayer mayhem for up to four players.

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.
