Well, I got a little pissed when I heard that there was no crash mode anymore, or split screen multiplayer mode.  But after playing the game and spending hours on it with friends, I didn't really care for it much because the game is so much fun.

I see people complaining about getting lost while racing, thus losing the race, like they haven't done so in real life.  This is an open world racer, you're not in kindergarten anymore, you won't see giant road signs telling you which way to go.  Instead you get a little pointer, use it.

Also, another complaint is when you lose a race there is no retry option, well boo-hoo, I'm sure Hamilton wanted to retry the last race of the 2007 season when he lost the championship to Raikkonen in F1.  Point is, if you don't get to retry in real life you don't get to retry here, I like it, deal with it.

A few words to fellow gamers, don't be a wuss and pause the game every ten seconds and go to map screen.  If you want to enjoy the game live the game, learn the roads, that's why you are paying $50+.  I too lost races making a wrong turn at the last intersection, don't make a fuss about it.  If you're gonna cry like a baby don't buy this game, go play Mario Cart Racer or something.

As you can see I like this game, I highly enjoy it and recommend it to all true Burnout fans.  It's a different experience and I will be happy to see crash mode or offline multiplayer mode in the next installation but it is what it is now, enjoy it.

*** UPDATE - March 2009 ***

Company Support for this game is great, when I finished the game 100%, I thought I wouldn't go back, yet even the free content adds so much to the game. I rearly touch a bike game but I love it in this game.  Bikes are nicely balanced and easy to control.  Now, with the price cut, it's even better, not that it matters to me :)
