I miss the traffic checking from Revenge. Taking it out of Paradise is a mistake, as it causes unnecessary crashes during races. Plus, it was much more fun to destroy the traffic when it got in your way rather than swerving to avoid it and crashing into the scenery instead.

"I've owned every Burnout game since the first one, and I can easily say that this is the worst Burnout yet. Ever since EA took over and added their 'cool' presentation, it's gone further away from what made it great in the first place. Even the last game - Burnout Revenge - omitted what I would call a pretty standard feature... single race. Why, when I wanted to race on a particular track, did I have to negotiate that god-awful career map? Open ended city? No thanks. Licensed music? Rubbish. Burnout 2 will always remain the pinnacle of the series for me, and EA won't be getting my money this time." Burnout 2 was the best of the series for crash mode. Crash mode was phenominal. Most people don't understand the traffic patterns could be changed by driving in reverse from the start - or waiting for a certain time before racing down to the impact site. Who cares? the different between an air launching pickup and a moving van could be in the 100 million point range. fantastic stuff. Burnout 3 nailed the blazing twitch racing.

Many of the responses to this are amusing to say the least.

Related to the demo, although I have been busy over the past few days, I still haven't tried it again to see if my opinion has changed. All my enthusiasm was deflated after playing the demo the first time. Unfortunately, it looks like the Burnout series is going too far from it's roots in this one and it might just be a series killer ... like the last SSX game. The SSX series, from the first to Tricky to 3, were some of the best games I have played on a system and had fun with. The last one they put out was too far out there and lost me as a fan. This Burnout might do the same.

As far as the SILVER members upset over the delay and the ones that feel they should get it right away without having to pay because they do not believe in the capitalism of Microsoft, you all need to wake up and smell the world. First off, quit being cheap. It is $50 for 12 months. It isn't like it is $500. Secondly, if you choose to not pay for it, do not complain when you do not get the benifits from it. Running the service costs money, and you all (Silvers) should be thankful you do get some features. YOU ALL are clogging up some of the servers without paying to download things, so it is only fair that GOLD members get things first since we pay to play and support the service.

I still do not understand the PS3 fans on a blogsite for Xbox360. That is like sitting in MacDonalds and complaining about their food when you prefer Burger King instead.

Think people.

Hope this game is as good as the last one.

The burnout game on the original xbox was the game that pushed me over the fence to pony up for xbox live. I'll be getting this game. Also to all the people giving the ps3 love in a 360 site obviously have beat ratchet, heavnly sword, uncharted, resistance, and the other 2 sub par games for the blu-ray player while they anxiously wait for the once again delayed metal gear solid 4...

Sorry, this isn't Burnout. I was hoping it would have been Burnout: Revenge mixed with Test Drive Unlimited. Where is the crash breaker? How come when I check traffic I slow down and sometimes even wreck? How come I don't feel the same kind of speed when I hold down the after burner? I think the concept is great but I miss the pure bat out of hell experience that was Burnout: Revenge.

I wasn't too impressed at first.The wide open format seemed confusing.The SP events seemed kind of dull.Then i jumped into multiplayerf for 4 hours and only quit becuase i had to sleep.Spent half the time doing jumps barrel rolls and crashing opponents all at the same time,at one point i drifted at an intersection with an opponent inside of his drift circle.The fairly big section of the city in the demo starts to seem small and makes you want to explore the rest of the vast map.

All i can say is this game is AWESOME.

It takes a little to get used too but is insanely fun in MP.At first i thought,oh a NFS clone.This game is way more than that in many ways.

Can't wait to buy the full game in Jan.

And some Gold members still completely fail to understand that some people don't care for multiplayer and therefore don't consider it worth paying for. Amazing.

Would you all happily pay money for something you wouldn't use? If so, I guess you've got more dollars than sense.

Could the silver members get off it already. Can you seriously not wait seven days to play a one level DEMO? Maybe it's time for a new hobby.

And what's with all the PS3 love all of a sudden? Did you people make a wrong turn at Blu-Ray.com?

No thanks, I'll wait for Midnight Club.

Besides, the fun part about the demo is the online play. If you don't have Xbox Live then the demo isn't worth your time anyway.

Hahah. Anyone else notice how all the silver members just happen to have a PS3? Maybe if they didn't spend 400-600$ on that they could have afforded to get Xbox Live.

"Also available to all users on the playstation network"

Good for them. Their free network blows chunks. I would rather pay $50 a year for the real thing...XBL, and it's universal features, messaging, friends lists, texting, chatting all in any game, and any time.
