Burnout 3

Anyone here get a chance to play the latest in the Burnout series? I've never really played the other titles, and finally decided to rent the third one. What a freaking blast! It's like SSX meets Destruction Derby meets Project Gotham Racing... mass automotive carnage, excellent visuals and gameplay, and a hell of a lot of replay. Didn't care for the music soundtrack and the annoying voiceover a la SSX3, but those were minor quibbles. The constant loading did get on my nerves, though. If I were to rate this, I'd probably put it somewhere between 8.5 to 9.

Any other opinions? Also, anyone got a perfected technique for aftertouch takedowns? I have yet to register my first one, got a load of signature takedowns, though...

Yeah I've managed several aftertouch takedowns. The best ones are when you land the car right on top of the others.

I have this on Xbox so I play it online with my own soundtrack. I hate the emo-tarnished soundtrack EA have provided (although, there are some fantastic tracks by the likes of Franz Ferdinand and others - but most of it is annoying americana pop rock rubbish)

I had Burnout 1...it was fun.

It didn't have voice-overs thankfully.

This one looks good, so I may go try it out.

alright alright....I have to get this one now....i've heard too much....one game to pick up before i do, but i think im sold.

Hey Superfly, is online the only way to customize your soundtrack... or can you pull it off in single player as well? If so, I'm having a difficult timing figuring it out... damn Hollywood Video doesn't really give you the detailed manual when you rent from there.
