What didn't you like about it? I was thinking about buying it, Gamespot gave it an 9.5, IGN a 9.4.. http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/driving/burnout3/index.html?q=burnout http://ps2.ign.com/articles/544/544152p1.html Andre On Wed, 01 Dec 2004 01:17:00 GMT, Destroy <[email hidden]> wrote:

Its nothing but a twitch fest mash and hold the accel button arcade racer. Its fun for 1 hour then gets old and the hollow gameplay shows through. Only interesting thing about the game is the sense of speed and 'intersection crash levels'. The racing part gets tiring quickly due to extreme no physics zero car handling arcade-ness. Rent before you buy is my suggestion then you'll know if you truly think its worth it or not. Andre Warringa wrote:

Destroy loved their monkey enough to say... > Its nothing but a twitch fest mash and hold the accel button arcade > racer. It's a twitch gaming arcade racer, as that is exactly what it's supposed to be, then i'm not suprised ;) It's an excellent arcade racer, but don't expect any kind of sim aspect (unless they have started to use aftertouch in F1). The menu system is dreadful though. -- Trooper [email hidden] (remove the obvious) GamerTag: TrooperNeil

As said by others... This is a pure arcade game, nothing sim-like whatsoever, no real life cars, no real life tracks and certainly not real to life physics. Having said that, it is a lot of fun to just blow off some steam, especially the crash mode where you earn "money" by creating the biggest crash you can, and the race mode where your goal is to wreck the other drivers via "takedowns" and still try to end up in 1st place at the end of 3 or so laps...
