Sorry KIDS, I like it, the jumps are awesome, the sounds are meaty, good stuff. Its basically Midnight Club if it didnt suck.

Wow, jumps and sounds! AMAZING

Too busy blowing shit up in Heavy Weapon. At least I don't have to drive my tank to the beginning of a level to retry.

Thats awesome different class types get boost in different ways. I unlocked two cars so far, I put in my pre-order code for the steel wheels but i guess I gotta do something else to get it in my junkyard.

Yea, i thought that was cool until I read that the boost/speed cars don't actually go any faster.

I hate that avatar sorry. Just earned Hunter Vegas. I love having to earn cars by chasing them through the whole city trying to take them down.

Midnight Club II was the best racing game of last gen (Paris FTW)

In Burnout Paradise, can you restart in the middle of a race? I've heard conflicting reports.

I bought Burnout Paradise, too. After spending an hour with it, it's much better than the demo lead me to believe.

Im close to a C license, I got the cool pimped out Hunter Vegas

Akala · « **Reply #28 on:** January 23, 2008, 12:25:09 AM »

I'm digging it. The online "freeburn" is more fun than expected. Seems like a good drinking/pass the control around game.

Got it on 360 for custom soundtracks.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #29 on:** January 23, 2008, 12:41:09 AM »

Apparently it's like a viral achievement. You take down someone with it, and you get it. I'll be on tomorrow if anyone still needs it. I have no idea if it's supposed to be hard to get or not.

Yeah, it's in sweet awesome good games like COD4 and Ass Creed, not ~~Need For Speed~~ Burnout

FatalT · « **Reply #43 on:** January 23, 2008, 02:40:03 AM »

I bought it and I like it. Fuckers.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #44 on:** January 23, 2008, 02:46:36 AM »

360 version here, no tearing or slowdown. Buy either, the game is FUN

TVC15 · « **Reply #45 on:** January 23, 2008, 02:49:23 AM »

I like it. . .but I have to say that I WOULD HAVE been disappointed had I not known to readjust my expectations a bit, post-demo.

It has a Crackdown-like exploration element to it. It's fun to just cruise around the city. Game looks fuck great. I would try online but I am torrenting lots of european TV.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #46 on:** January 23, 2008, 02:51:52 AM »

I just didnt play the demo. As half baked as shit is these days, best not to play a demo anymore

Anyone know how to get the pre-order car you unlock with the code? Is it an event thing? I want! AHHH!

Press start and use the L and R bumpers to change menus. There's a menu somewhere in there with a Promo Code option. You need to have certain classes of license for the promo cars, though.

Also, this is GOTY 2008.

It is GOTY by default! Nothing else has come out. Advance Wars is more of the same and it is teh old and boring at this point. It's more pizzle than strategy, and even if it were more strategy than puzzle, the gameplay isn't deep enough for someone that's played MAN strategy games.

I told Willco last night that the comparison to Crackdown might go even further, in that the game might have a short shelf life once the exploration element starts growing thin.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #53 on:** January 23, 2008, 04:24:43 PM »

Burnout is plenty fun, haters be damned. If you approach it like the last like 8 games that all did the same things, yeah youre gonna get pissed.

Yeah yeah I did that and its unlocked, but its not in the junkyard I suspect there's an event or its cruising around town and I need to trash it.

Anyway, this is a tinkering game, which I appreciate more and more these days as life has more crap going on. Some nights I just wanna grab some drink and fuck around with a game, and this, like crackdown, is that kinda game.

If you go to Gamefaqs, it says the requirements for the promo cars. For most of them you need an A or B class license; some even higher.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It'll be a good game to hop in and fuck around with for like an hour. Easy to play, good scenery, and you can wander around.

i got the ps3 version because i feel bad for my ps3
