There's fun and then there's Burnout...meaning it's not fun it's just soo annoying. I think this is probably my least favourite Burnout game in the series so far - Revenge was my favourite. My main complaints for this game are basically what has already been mentioned, the fact that you have to drive all the way back to the start of an event....the absense of Crash, one of the best modes in Burnout all gone...and the idea that if you wreck (which seems all too easy in the first place) you're basically finished for the game
All in all, I've had this game for a couple of days and can disappointingly say I'm not impressed - it wasn't worth trading my Orange Box in for and I'll probably be trading it back in over the next 2-3 days
Such a shame really.
