Burnout: Ultimate Box dated, exclusive to PC in North America

But people don't buy boxes anymore for PC!?!?!

i held off buying this game after hearing about the ultimate box because i wanted to save HD space.

Does this one come with retry button?

Why does the interface looks so...fruity?

cause its a PARTY! lolz

My absolute favorite driving game. I have it on both PS3 and 360 to play online with different friends. I've never bought a game twice before!

...did we already know that this was PC only in North America? I see this game every time I stop at a game store for 360 for $20, and I come thisclose to picking it up, but I don't because I was going to wait for the Ultimate Box.

Guess I should have picked it up months ago, then?

I actually plan on getting this. I Gameflied BP when it first game out. I'd like to support a developer that dedicates an entire year to supporting their product with free DLC.

Finally! This game dropped off the face of the earth after it was announced for PC. Pretty psyched about it, had so much fun with Burnout 3 for xbox.

I used to love the firts Burnout game on the Gamecube. Played it for hours on end. Did anyone else stick with the series from the start? Are the recent Burnout games anything like the first one?
And what would you recommend to a Burnout 1 fan, Revenge or Paradise?

Definitely Takedown. I tried the others, but takedown just has a smoothness that i love.

PC Only?!? Well, there goes every last ounce of respect I had for Criterion. I guess being part of EA this has long has FINALLY clouded their previously good judgment.

I don't understand why they hyped the Ultimate Box on the Playstation Blog when it's not even coming out on the PS3.

What is this? PC gaming is still alive? I'll keep an eye out for this one.

I won't be getting this because of the inane game mechanics that I think Criterion has implemented in Burnout.

The fact that I cannot Warp to a race I want to run from the in-game map, or I cannot Retry a race really kills any enjoyment I get out of actually racing in the game.

If I spend two minutes racing, I spend 10 minutes trying to get to the next race, or worse getting back to the starting point of the race I just lost.

This mechanic doesn't encourage exploring, it is just an exercise in tedium, and it is a mechanic that I understand Criterion is dead set against changing.

NFS Undercover does it so much better. You want to explore to discover shortcuts and hidden trophies etc. then you are free to do that. You want to go directly to a specific race? Then bring up the mini map click on the race you want and there you are. Simple, quick and user friendly.

omg i can believe you whingers. Everyone who didnt buy this game because of minor complaints is a fool.

If you need to restart races so much maybe you should learn how to play the game properly and also learn how to press that back button ( pauses race so you can check map duhhhh)

If you cant handle this game without restarts i can even imagine how bad you would be at a racing sim. Probably smash into every corner? I lost about 3 events on the way to elite, one was a road rage that my car got wrecked.

2 hours to find an event? are you serious, i went from start to elite in 2-3 days and racing games are not my forte. It takes me about 2 secs to find an event they are at every intersection ffs!

Every complaint ive heard about this game is stupid and no one ever says anything about the real problems like traffic spawning on your bonnet.

People who say this is not a burnout game should try actually playing it. They will find that this is a burnout game, a great one if not the best and has all the burnout hallmarks except a true crash mode.

Funny how everyone who gets good at this game loves it, while everyone who cant go one street without wrecking says its no good, blaming the open world or lack of restart rather than their own lack of skill/patience. Maybe in the next burnout there will be a " hold x button to win race" option so all the A.d>d kids will love the game too.

Most ppl suck at this game until they learn the map and how to dodge the traffic, seems most people have too much a.d.d. to even learn a small map.



Honestly just learn the map, pause the race at the start to check which way is best, boost in speed car until you win, repeat until elite.

Anyone halfway decent at racing games will tell you how easy this games offline races are.
