What is Blur?
Blur is an arcade racing video game for Microsoft Windows published by Activision in North America and Europe.

Some special car models have been designed by Bizarre Creations themselves. There are also some heavily altered versions of familiar urban environments, such as the Los Angeles river halfpipe and several parts of London.
