I'm so glad I didn't get my wireless wheel fixed, because that smoke piling out of it will be completely worth it now.

Open your mind, look outside the box, its burnout in a different way ... fine to say you didn't enjoy it, but wrong to say its the worst .. WRONG.

Man I don't know why joystiq doesn't just post that the content was suppose to be in the game the whole time. The top video even shows the island looks exactly the same as the original one shown in E3 07'....

Thanks for that. It's already nowhere near the best Burnout game. I knew bad things were coming ever since EA bought Criterion and Acclaim stopped publishing the games. I have Burnout 1-4 and Paradise was not impressed.

I was starting to get excited by the "new" DLC, but now I know better. I will get the free stuff because I should have had it at release, but I will in no way pay for anything else Burnout.

When Takedown came out and EA borked the online (let us use our servers MS so no one get get online or get booted off, and when we release our next game, people will have to upgrade) and strong armed you into listening to the EA traxx (I used a custom soundtrack, but that had to be reset every time you played the game).

The final straw was when one of my favorite games I play with my wife had no off-line muti-player. No pass the joystick party mode. No split-screen. No system link (LAN). So even if I went out and bought a second copy, EA could shut the servers off and I could no longer get any 2-player action. There are other annoyances, but without some huge 180% turn by EA, I doubt I will buy another Burnout.

I only hope Mass Effect doesn't become "The Sims" and have 20 pricey add-ons that should have been in the final game. Otherwise, it may turn into a rental.

You guys that say this isn't the best burnout are smoking crack!!!! I've owned 3 of the previous games and have at least played all of them!!! This by far is the absolute without a doubt best burnout game ever!!!! It takes things from good games in the past and puts them in an all new game. Open world driving like Test Drive Unlimited, and Midnight Club 3, various events to compete in like Midtown Madness....etc What more could you ask for other than maybe a capture the gold game type????
