Man, what are you people thinking? This is just a PS2 game with updated graphics. The controls are HORRIBLE. The 6 axis gimmick really shows how weak it is here. Skip this game, it is a big waste of time. There are about 10,000 better racing games for the PS2 or xbox.

The graphics are great and the play exceptional, but if you were looking to share the experience with anyone else, other than on-line, forget it. THIS IS A SINGLE PLAYER GAME, which is hard to believe in a racing game. Isn’t the whole point of racing, to compete against someone else? Yes, you can compete on-line, but all of that side-by-side interaction is lost. I had waited for this release so that I could play side-by-side against my brothers and friends, but not with this title. Perhaps if EA Sports had released it, it would have lived up to its billing. Sorry Sony, you again deliver less than the hype.

I had a lot of fun with the demo for the first hour but after that go bored with the one track. With only 8 tracks total in the release game I do not think there is a lot of replay value here, but it is definitely worth a rental and I still plan to do so. The vehicle physics in the demo were pretty weak IMO (the motorcyle was horrible and the buggy and truck average), but the demo track did not really require that much mastery of the handling (boost and e-brake do not require much skill).
After being a huge fan of Burnout I found the crashes very underwhelming and unsatisfying. The demo track is quite interesting the first few times you play it and I especially liked the jumbotron screen you pass and see a TV version of the ongoing gameplay. The different routes also had some nice risk and reward to them but I still felt the overall racing to be pretty shallow.
All in all not bad for a 1st gen game and the visuals are spectacular but my suggestion is rent before you buy so you can decide for yourself if the limited gameplay is enough for you.

I cannot begin to explain the feeling you get when flying along the ridge of a mesa at break neck speeds, trying not to fly off!! Man this game rocks!!! The control is awesome the vehicles are awesome and each has thier own weaknesses and strenghts. The physics are also very very good. Now for why I don’t feel this is a truly-next gen game. Sony has made perfectly clear that they think thier system is better than any other and blu-ray is the ultimate format with near limitless possiblities. Now while the game lookes great, it is truly not amazing or breathtaking. You have only 8 tracks, and every one of them is some shade of brown. When every track is made up of the same colors and characteristics, whats taking up so much space? Certaintly not the soundtrack which gets really repetative really quick. And it also isn’t the people or items filling the background. Come on, are horribly rendered 2-D static spectators truly next-gen? What about the helicopters in God Valley Mesa? Is that what spinning proppellers look like?
No I am afraid not. If it is not a vehicle or directly on the track it doesn’t look so good. The far backgrounds – bland, the sky – bland. I have seen better skys on PS2. And you know its not the vehicles taking up space, there is a good variety and they do look good, but I have seen more variety and options on older games on DVD9. Oh its the 1080P taking up the room and making it next-gen, right?
Nope sorry folks its rendered in 720P. So what gives? All along all I heard is this game cannot possibly run on 360 only PS3? The only reason why that is true is because Sony paid for this exclusive, those developers didn’t even (and I doubt they still have), touched an 360 or even know what it is capible of. Over all this is a great racing game with tons of thrills, and it is probaly the best game PS3 has going for it right now. I just don’t see it as Sony promised it would be, a hands down showing of what next-gen is all about.

I’m sorry but this is the first game I ever bought that was only one player! Sure you can play on the internet against eleven other people. But what happen to people having fun in the same room with two or four players having a blast splitscreen. What is the point of having four controller support if most games are online multyplayer! A racing game that does not support two or four player splitscreen is INSANE!!!! Don’t get me wrong, the game is fairly good for single play. But that suffers too with so little tracks and you on some levels your forced to play only a certain vehicle type! While your computer racers have any vehicle they want! PS3 is going to suffer big time if it don’t get any decent made games very soon. Except Resistance Fall of Man. Now thats a game! The Only one Made Right!
