I think it might just be a rental to be fair.
It just doesn't seem like a big enough leap from 3 to 4, as 2 to 3 was.
I know thats not fair, because it was always going to be hard to top 3. But I can't justify spending so much money on a game which is just the last game but a little bit different.
I'll try it out first.

I agree that it isnt near the evolution of Takedown, but that doesnt bother me that much(plus I never actually bought Takedown 😛 ). It is simply more of what I love with many minor improvements. And this had to be expected, Burnout 3 was a huge hit, so EA instantly decided to make it a annual game, so less development time. ❌
Bottomline, I bought and I love it, having XBL just makes it better.
Yeah this game is awesome. Despite my earlier concerns there are actually enough changes made to warrant a purchase. Graphically it looks stunning - what else would you expect - the boys that made Burnout created the damn Renderware engine (GTA uses Renderware).
The thing I love about the Burnout series is that even if you buy Burnout 4 first, Burnout 2 and Burnout 3 are still quite different enough to actually warrant a puchase too. Each new installment breaks the last ones rules. It started out with Burnout 1 where you had to dodge everything in sight, and it's evolved into Burnout 4 where you still have to dodge mayhem aswell as create it.
The tracks are also amazing, with forks in the road, better aftertouch and multi-tierred race tracks where you can drop from one highway down to a lower one.
And the graphics never slow down.
Im not into racing games.
But I have been hearing about this series for a long time and it's crash modes and stuff and they seem intriguing, but like I said, I own no racing games.
So would anybody recommend a non racer gamer such as myself to purchase this game or would it be a waste of their money and not enough to convert them or catch their attention?
When did this game come out?

Came out about 2 weeks ago.
I would recommend that everyone, racing fan or not, atleast rent this game. It isnt an overly serious simulation racer, it is an easy pick up and play, incredibly addictive arcade racer.
The speed of the game is incredible. probably the fastest non-future racer. And the entire emphasis is on crashing and driving dirty. The graphics are beautiful and the sound is incredible. If you have the abilitie to play online on PS2 or XBL then you will be in heaven.
