Burnout 3

Played this for a few hours on Sunday on PS2. Single-player only.

Initial impressions are that the core game is a very good arcade racer. I can't get on with all the fluff around it though.

"Congratulations, you successfully pressed the X button.

You unlocked a new car! *music* *FMV*

You unlocked a new track! *music* *FMV*

You unlocked a new series! *music* *FMV*"

as Sync Undertaker pointed out when we were playing it, you don't give a shit you've unlocked a car because it's some random bollocks design not a real car.

especially when you get the three Type #'s in a row.

Absolutely. Is it faster? Slower? Better-handling? *shrug*

It's like a kid with too many presents at Christmas. You get given so many things that none of them are special and the "risk=reward" thing becomes meaningless because you're just showered with gifts right from the start.

Is there a Ninja Gaiden Remix of Burnout 3 available?
