It's just a solid racing game.
Pros: Graphics, sound, and general controls are all very well done. The tracks are interesting. The cars are designed well, and look really shiny... It's almost refreshing not having to deal with liscensed cars. The game is all about the crashes, and the crash mode is really fun as always. The frame rate is pretty solid with the occasional freak out... But I have to say, with Most Wanted and PGR.... 2 launch titles still looking better then this game that was released months after them..... This game's online is really the only reason to pick up a copy. After months on the regular xbox, this game is pretty stale.
Cons: The soundtrack is HORRIBLE. If your not a big fan of this modern day emotional rock crap (I'm a Juggalo myself), your gonna hate how SOFT the music is. ICP, Slipknot, Twiztid, Disturbed, Sevendust, and even some hard techno would have me actually feelling destructive.... As it is, I can't be angry and destructive enough to play this game properly with g#y a** fallout boy playing in the background. "Until the day I dieeeeee", which I hope is soon cause your music sucks. How can you kids pretend to be hard and listen to Fallout Boy? You kids on xbox live are rediculous sometimes!!!
Final Word: Quite frankley this title started to see dust really quick considering Ghost Recon is the far superior game. If you like racing games, you can't go wrong with burnout..... But if you've been playing the other 360 titles alot..... you really begin to question yourself about living in the past with this game. I did.
