->''Race like a big boy.''

Released in May 2010, ''Blur'' is the first racing game from Creator/BizarreCreations since their takeover by Creator/{{Activision}} in 2007 (and their second overall, following ''VideoGame/GeometryWars Retro Evolved 2''). The best way to describe it is a MascotRacer with the look of a standard racing game (sort of ''VideoGame/ProjectGothamRacing'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''VideoGame/MarioKart''). Up to 20 real-life cars at once engage in weapons-based combat.

For the Brit rock band, see [[Music/{{Blur}} here]].

----
!!''Blur'' has examples of
%%* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: Blame the bright neon lights.
* {{Cap}}: The fan level maxes out at level 25 in single player, level 50 in multiplayer.
%%* CarFu: How most races end up as.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Remember that hippy chick that served as your very first boss in the main game, Shannon? Turns out she's both the announcer, your coach and the final boss. She also happens to be driving the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity+1 Car]].]]
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: The powerups are colored so you can tell from a distance what to aim for. Nitro is green, Repair is gold, Shield is white, Shunt is red, Bolt is pink, Mine is orange, Barge is purple, Shock is light blue.
* CompetingProductPotshot: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPqRue51GZ8&feature=related ad campaign]] mocks ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' and other cutesy {{Mascot Racer}}s with a Toad {{Expy}} named [[PunnyName Brock Lee]] expressing a desire to "race like a big boy".
%%* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Not as badly as ''VideoGame/MarioKart'', but it's there on higher difficulty levels.
%%* CoolCar: Let's just say most of the class A cars, with special mentions to the Ford GT, Audi R8 and [[AwesomeButImpractical the Ford Transit van powered by a Formula 1 engine]].
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Every car has a health bar, and if you lose all your health, you respawn but lose valuable seconds.
%%* DoWellButNotPerfect: Averted: unlike [[VideoGame/MarioKart some other racers]], it takes more skill than luck to win.
%%* FragileSpeedster: Most of the sports cars are like this.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Each car class has some cars that are viewed by almost all players as completely terrible (notably, the Corvette C3 (Race) in class A, the Audi TT in class C, and the Renault Megane in class D), yet with skilled enough driving and use of the powerups, one can quite handily win a race in any of these vehicles. What someone started out using as a joke becomes their favorite car in the game.
%%* MightyGlacier: All of the off-road vehicles are like this.
%%* NitroBoost: One of the power-ups.
%%* OneWordTitle
%%* PreviouslyOn: Used to update you on how your friends are doing and how close you are to the next boss.
%%* RubberBandAI: It's not as bad as ''VideoGame/MarioKart'', thankfully.
* ShoutOut: Surprisingly, to its biggest rival, '' VideoGame/MarioKart''. At the end of the round several awards are given out. One of these is for the most Shunt hits called ''Crimson Carapace'' followed by a shell icon. May count as a TakeThat.
%%** Mount Haruna, while not accurately modeled, is a shout out to ''Manga/InitialD''.
%%* VehicularCombat
* WackyRacing: Between the arcade-inspired driving physics, the improbable challenges, and the use of powerups, the game can best be described as ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' but with real-life vehicles.
