I bought the game after I played the demo. I have never played a Burnout game before but the demo totally grabbed me, so I thought I'd get the full game.
It's pretty damn awesome. I go from thinking it's the best 'car game' I've ever played to being kind of disappointed. Racing can be exhilarating beyond belief (it has to be the fastest game I've ever played), but the lack of a retry kind of takes the wind out of it all. As well as this, the navigation seems really really bad. Like, just knowing what races you've done, where you're going, how to get to a specific place, all are really shit. If they are going to drop you into a large city with thousands of roads they could at least provide a navigation system of some sort. It doesn't have to be Test Drive Unlimited calibre. The wrecking gets kind of annoying too, only because you can't skip the damn cut scene. Once you've seen your car hit a Gillette truck a few thousand times it starts to get old.
Other than that though, I'm having a blast. It most positively is the most exhilarating racing game I've played. The sense of speed as you're boosting through the streets is mind blowing. The sound track is pretty good for the most part (until Avril comes on, you've never seen me press right bumper faster).
I haven't gone online yet. But how does it work exactly? Is it actually interesting or is it like TDU where you go online, have a race with your friends then sort of realise you may as well play single player? Are there a large variety of races to have and can you 'stick' to your friends for the duration of the game?
