Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Where is crash mode?
I don't like many games where the driver can't get in and out of the car your driving but I was so pump when I knew a need for speed oops.. i'm sorry burnout was coming out. this francise was my favorite racing games the first one was ok and after that they ROCKED! because of crash mode I would get platium award on all of them and then play the rest of the game. when takedown came out with the takedown racing those are great too but, I drive to work, I drive to the store. driving games like gran tursmino (realistic)don't do it for me I like mayhem. I LOVED CRASH MODE!
I know the big thing about this game is the online gaming that's ok but again where's crash mode. I know they have "showtime" but it's not the same it's just a cheap version i would expect someone else to knock off this francise with. I mean there's no real objective to ityou just keep rolling and rolling which is lame, I guess and ironicly i like controlled chaos. I don't want realisic driving but some what realisic wrecking. yea it's fun to race with your buddies online but I like going two hunreds mph in to a tanker in slo-mo as it explodes and gracefully pirouette and pinball off of buses and cars instead of just bouncing off of cars like sonic or mario. for the next game they should have you and 3 of your friends at a oncoming and off going ramp of a interstate and see what happens.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic fun and variety from start to finish.
The living city feel takes away many of the repetitive retries that might normally creep up. You'll have fun for hours and never do the same thing twice.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Only average overall
All of the previous Burnout games were great. This time around, you drive around in an fairly large (but not gigantic) open world and as you drive around you can choose different racing events. There are cars to earn as you move up in the ranking. The opposing car AI isnt bad and in general the racing is fun.

So why the average score? The world may be large but it is terribly bland. Sure there's mountains on one side and water on the other but the general color scheme is gray, gray, gray. This actually matters because it can be difficult to discern crossroads as they come up (remember in Burnout you are driving REALLY fast). There's so much gray that the road looks like the buildings as they zip by. When you race you can take any path to the destination you like. That's great, but good luck trying to see visual landmarks so that you know when to take that hard left turn.

So the game is fun, but best bought at a discount and enjoyed for what it is: a solid arcade style racing game that doesnt in any way surpass the previous Burnout games.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Average game
When i purchased it, it was listed as a lightning deal so the price was great. Its a OK game, just lacks some of the creativity and excitement other similar games have.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun game
I do like the idea of the game, where you can drive where ever you want, and start an event and any red light. But for some reason, I seem to keep driving on the same road and can't find all of the events. It's not like the map is that big, but I like to drive looking at the map, not the road. DJ Atomica is kind of annoying. Overall, it's a fun game for many hours, it just seems like I'm stuck. On races, I can't seem to slow down and make the turn on the correct street, and it seems like I always get separated towards the end of the race and it's too late. That is frustration also.
