Burnout 3

None of these are fatal flaws, but the omissions are really odd. I'd guess it has something to do with the online component.

As much as I'd love to jump on and blame online for it (because I don't like online gaming), I'm pretty certain none of the complaints have anything to do with it, and have more to do with developer preference or times constraints on art.

All the more to look foward to for part 4.

FYI about the street date thing.

ALL stores get games the same day. Its just some store dont put the game out since they are A. Have an ad with it. or B. they are lazy.

So EB type stores dont hold much of an edge unless they go to their shipper and pick it up a night early.

I want to choke the life out of the DJ, thankfully the options let me turn him off. Along with the lackluster music.

[Rumpy]

I guess you "aquired" this one too? Wonder how it got out.

[Chux]

Well, it's a PAL release, since it has the language options. Regardless, I'm getting this Day One, for Live.

[Rumpy]

So how is it?

[Chux]

It's pretty, so SO pretty. Impact Time is great, and I get alot of "Revenge" takedowns because of it. Crash mode is great, as always and there is some retooling. Of course, when you wreck, or jump, you get Impact Time, so you're going to want to throw yourself into whatever you can. At the beginning of the crash session it'll say something like "Crash Breaker in 8" That means you gotta wreck 8 cars before you get Crash Breaker.

You might ask, well what is the crash breaker? It's basically a bomb in whatever car you're riding in. When you wreck said amount of cars, it's armed. Hit B and you explode, now you can go back into impact time, and swing yourself into any other errant traffic.

So far I've only unlocked Europe, and haven't gotten around to playing any of the tracks there, but so far it's a riot, and I'm sure Live play will be awesome.

Good shit. Drop some more impressions when ya get more into it.
