I've played in both, and to be honest, I feel that I'm missing something in both of them. I remember that a couple of years ago (or maybe a bit more than "a couple" - time flies like crazy!) I was playing a lot in such games as Excessive Speed and Mashed. I think that I'm missing something I would call "intuitive gameplay" and this "feeling" of damage (caused by weapons). In Excessive Speed and Mashed controlling your car was relatively simple and easy to steer, even for someone who is not too keen on racing games (to be honest, I'm not playing in any "normal" racing games, rather "combat" racing games). in BlazeRush I feel that steering your car is not too intuitive and it's quite easy to lose control (choosing slower vehicle with better grip on the other hand is causing frustration, because you have to fight like a crazy to be the first one). In Speed Kills it's slightly better, but still I've got the feeling that it's sometimes too hard to collect any power-up, and the engine is so unoptimized that it's not causing comfortable gameplay.

Weapons... In BlazeRush it's terrible. It's hard to aim properly and the lack of "power" is annoying. In speed kills it's slightly better, at least I can feel that I'm making damage to enemy's car, but still, it's not the thing I liked in games mentioned at the beginning.

But well, I must add that generally there is more "fluent" gameplay in BlazeRush (and it's generally better in technical aspects). And yeah, definitelly bigger variety of weapons. And multiplayer mode.
