Also, how did you take that screen-shot?

I took a pic of my screen with a digital camera. 😛 I didnt notice anyway to play splitscreen, once you startup you go through the intro and then you start playing, never an option to play splitscreen.

I was pleasantly surprised that the Revenge Rivals system online from the 360 version of Revenge was brought back. I hadnt heard anything about it leading up to the game, so I was thrilled to see it back, thats the reason I loved Revenge 360 the best.

Darn it, I won't be getting this game then.

Yeah, they seem to have gone into this game with the assumption most players would be online ready, its a bold move and one I like, but it will be off putting to some. If I remember later ill check out the box and see it it really is 1 player only.

Make online multiplayer free of charge then I might even forgive the lack of SS.

Get a PS3. 😛

Still not worth it.

Nope. You better off paying the 50 bucks for live. 😛

Well I don't really get that much time to play these days, so not such a biggie yet.

Does anyone have any good comment for this game? I'm not really a racing gamer, but I was blown away by the PS3 demo, and I'm considering this game as my next buy. I just wanted some good feedback, is all.

I hate racing sims. I dont like playing a game that feels like a chore and driving, to me, is a chore. Most racing games as of late have been complete sim...,even need for speed. I was disappointed with pro street and the last installment of burnout. Need for speed pro street made me feel as though i was playing a ghetto Turismo. The last Burnout game had me feeling exhausted with redundancy. I have been very tempted to add this game to my gamefly Q, after reading the user reviews on the site. Everyone raves about the damn game, but it seems much of the focus in their reviews is for the online portion. I dont do online, so, i was wondering if someone could tell me how the single player game holds up. Is it typical arcade burnout carnage?

I actually just downloaded this Demo and will be seeing how it is hopefully tonight to make my final decision as to whether I'll be buying this or not.

I got bored with the Demo after a short while. I also didn't really get a feel for the actual game. I didn't come across any events or anything. The only thing I found that I was able to do was jump ramps and get those slow mo snap shots of my car in mid air.

I was put off that I wasn't able to "Check" other vehicles as well.

For those who have this game and have played online, are you able to race other players or do you just roam around the city together like a pack of wolves?

Currently hooked on NBA Live 08, just sent my Unreal Tournament 3 back to Gamefly after playing it for a game. What a dissapointed Unreal Tournament 3 was for me... Next up in my GameQ is Burnout: Paradise, I hope they'll send me it next.

I love it. Its fast as hell, the city is huge, there is always something to do, the online is terrific. There are nags like not being able to restart, but wherever you end up, there is an event 2 seconds away. If you liked the demo, you will love the game. I hated the demo and the game is great to me. 😛

You can do both, I only join races though. The freeburn acts as a lobby while you wait for the race to start.

You know, i wanted to wait till i beat Mass Effect to get this game. (which i beat yesterday evening) And now that i beat all 3 game and got my money's worth, I might trade in either Assassins Creed, COD4, and Mass Effect or 2 of them for Burnout.

Been waiting for this racer to come out for almost a year and i think i'll finally pick it up now.

Sucks that it doesn't have crash mode but i hope something in the game will make up for it.

I was never a big fan of crash mode, the appeal wore after doing it again and again. I was always into the races and road rage kind of things, so the loss of crash mode doesnt bother me.

Had no idea they took out crash mode.

That sucks.

One would think they'd be able to really take advantage of it in THIS particular game.

You have showtime mode, where at any moment you can send your car into a barrel roll which you can keep going and build up crashes as long as you have momentum and boost.

Oh ok. Well at least they have something like that in the game.
