Split/Second is a dangerous racing reality show, where the participants can set off various explosive and environment-altering powerplays to try and take down their opponents, or even change the whole race track.

Revisional Differences

The Windows version contains various small and unusual changes compared to the console releases.

Menus

• The start screen is missing the "© 2010 Disney" string. The game's logo is also darker.
• The string "v 1." is visible on most menus at the bottom of the screen.

PlayStation 3, Xbox 360	Windows

• The font used to display "YOU WON!" when finishing an event is different.

PlayStation 3, Xbox 360	Windows

• The font is more spaced out for displaying "YOU HAVE WON..." when unlocking a new car and the car name itself, or when qualifying for a bonus event.
• The font used on the button prompts in the lower right corner is different.

Gameplay

• Sound effect volume balancing is off - ambient sounds that aren't meant to be heard at full volume - are, and other sounds that are meant to be audible often aren't.
• Several icons fail to render on the screen, even if the game still indicates they should appear. Most notable during the Air Revenge event.

Examples

Cutscenes

To do: Some of the localizations also have strange oddities.

• The pre-rendered portion of the ending cutscene (EndSequence.bik) is different, and feels a lot less polished on Windows.
