Buy this game and cure your boredom! (Side effects include: Major frustration, constant yelling, Impatience.)
Now let's talk about the flaws. The free roam feature is still in effect when doing an event which gets very annoying because now there are no arrows blocking the wrong way and you must find the correct way to the finish the race yourself. The direction system is a flaw I find most frustrating because even though it tells you where to go, it tells you to turn when you're about 100 ft. from the turn and since you're going so fast, you usually miss the turn. There's no retry button, so now you must either finish the race all the way on the other side of town even when you have no possible chance of winning.
Although I have gone through all these side effects listed in my review title, I would still have to say that this game is fun and with it's price lowering, its a decent buy. I still say that the previous Burnout's are better though.
