A mix of excellent graphics, and realistic physics, and giant city, is a win for the PS3

Okay, let me start out this way, buy this game. For $20 you can't go wrong. To me this was a driving sim that was changed into an arcade racer at the last second. The reason I say that is because the excellent graphics and the physics are realistic. Like I said in the title. This game was the very first game I got for the PS3, and I have a hard time believing that I will find a game that I like more for it. I do have a few complaints about it, but the game is so awesome and they are so minimal that it doesn't effect my decision on what score to give it.

Pros.
- HUGE, open world to just do whatever your heart so desires. You are constantly finding new things to do, and that overall gives you an experience that you won't find in any other game.
- Awesome Graphics
- Realistic Physics
- About 75 cars, most all of which are amazing. In the first ten cars you earn, it feels like you already have the best cars in the game (but you don't)
- Good Sound Effects
- Surprisingly good motion controls
- Bikes expansion is awesome (and free)

Cons.
- D.J. Atomica (the guy in the background) in annoying
- The entire game is tainted with crappy music that doesn't fit the style of game at all
- The expansion packs are ridiculously expensive (one car is $1.99)

I really hope you like guns'n'roses because "Paradise City" seems like its playing through the entire game, that is the only reason why I wouldn't give it a ten. So other than that this is a really good game that you really should buy.

    . . . this is the first Burnout game I've bought. Truth be told I've never really gotten into Burnout games before because I didn't like their structure and style of play. Basically I was waiting for them to make an op... Read Full Review
