It is quite a bit different than all the other Burnouts of the past, but as a Burnout fan, I've gotten used to the fact that Criterion changes this game every time a new version comes out. If the open world style of NFS:Most Wanted and Test Drive Unlimited were enjoyable to you, then I imagine that you'll dig this game. I managed to tear myself away from Mass Effect and Mario Galaxy long enough to play it, and I'm glad I did. I enjoyed playing Paradise very much.

It's pretty freakin awesome. Next Gen burnout... *drool* Wait, that's current gen. Oh well, the only "Next Gen" system I have is the Wii, and it's HARDLY next gen. I mean, the IR control is awesome, but the motion controls are terrible, Devs are having a really hard time using them, at least that's what they claim. I mean, they work for flicking and stuff. Like in metroid where you flick the nunchuck to use the grapple, that works well, or the finishing moves in No More Heroes (I have the JAP import, you can envy me now) those are TONS of fun. But anything more complicated doesn't work that well. And FPSs. Gawd. They all suck. I mean, Metroid got it right, but for a action oriented game, I would much rather play with Dual thumbsticks. Microsoft's next console should be the power of the PS3, online of the 360, with IR from the Wii, but with Dual analog controls. Nintendo wouldn't be able to do anything like that, because they're so damn set on getting "non gamers" Sony sucks too much at getting online to work, not to mentoin getting good games on their system. Microsoft has good games, and the best console online experiance. I just got Burnout 3 on my Xbox. It’s pretty freakin awesome.

Make sure you spend some time playing online with friends. I fooled around crashing into one of my buddies for over an hour tonight. It’s freakin’ awesome, period.
