They've always done this (removing some features and focusing on others). You can always just turn on BO3 if you want that style of play.

It shows you the crash course and then "rewinds" back to the car. Unless I haven't pushed the right button, you can't skip that "rewind" section and that seems to take the most time (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Yes, it's helpful to a point but is overall just crappy and needs to not be in there. And damn does that wind mess with me sometimes.

p.s. The bass in this game in incredible. It gets me so fucking hard when a Crashbreaker goes off.

p.p.s. Rank 7, bitches.

That would be awesome. Although I have to admit that this is making a better first impression than BO3 first did since it gives you bonuses for never wrecking...which is really helping me fly up the ranks.

No doubt, but I'd like to run the new courses old school style.

Burnout Revenge is still in my backpack, and I'm looking forward to getting home and spending all night playing it, but I've got to ask- why did they even bother with an instruction manual? 8 pages, black and white, thin and flimsy. They couldn't have made it feel cheaper if they'd used newspaper for the pages.

No way to kill rewind? That makes no sense, Crash Mode is all about instant action. If I remember right, they'd had the "feature" in Burnout 2, fixed it in 3, and now it's back?

No you don't, you whined for hours about it. You were all miffed that you couldn't just get way out ahead in Takedown and hold it because your boost would run dry and eventually someone would overtake or atleast be on your tail. You said that made the game 'broken', and I sagely corrected you that it made it 'intense'.

My eyes burn from playing this game. Holy shit is it autistic math capabilities fast.

Rank 9, 49%, just finished off completing chapter 5. Good god are there a lot of goals to run through, but at least now I'm getting to more Crashbreaker races.

Counting last night I've fallen through the road twice, and that's also the amount of times it's frozen on me. Thankfully neither has yet to happen during a grand prix but that combined with the incredibly glitchy takedown camera (which is a non-issue since it can be turned off and would be anyway in multiplayer) makes me wonder how rushed this was. The takedown camera in BOL works the same way as the one here, as it doesn't help you drive as much as it did in BO3 and removes total instead of partial control, but they're each buggy in their own way. Oddities abound.

Aside from those small (and surprisingly easy to ignore since one can be turned off and the other is very rare) technical issues this game is like brilliance pressed onto disc. So amazing.

Just stop procrastinating, log online and be prepared to get shunted, wrecked and to have your ego shattered indefinitely.

I haven't had this much fun with a game since I started playing WoW last November.

Damn, didn't know the game was out.

I suppose the X-Box version naturally is the best one to get for the graphics and online features?
