i love this game. but sounds missing ? where do you mean ? becouse i think the sound is (like the graphics) one of the strongest point in this game. the thing i dislike the most is that controlled drifts are way to hard. in burnout 2 i never had these problems. but hey, it looks and sounds way better. its unbeleavable that they could manage this in a multi platform release. the playstation 2 version looks just as cool !

here my mini review:

GRAPHICS: 9.6. almost perfect, with lots of details. when crashing, you can see lots of parts flying around. also amazing is that now finally the trailers and so can loose their cargo. glass flying everywhere, and no slowdown in sight. the effects of aftertouch are cool too, taking down while sliding over the road after a crash is really fulfilling when done properly. some misplaced camera points take a bit of the score, becouse otherwise this game would have scored a 10 in my opinion (becouse it really pushes every hardware really hard)

SOUND: 7.5. i know it has to do with taste, but exept for a few songs, i really dislike the music. lucky the sound effects really make up for that. with the music at volume 0, and the effects as loud as possible, crashes really are amazing. ripping and tearing iron, shattering glass, and the screeching tires add a great deal to the feeling of this game.

PLAYABILLITY: 8.5. for me, burnout 2 played a bit better becouse of the better drift controlls. but for the rest, this game really is a joy to play. when you get fustrated from those reallity games, you can always come back to burnout 3 to unload the stress Very Happy

the aftertouche is a gread addition. now you can even take down players when involved in a crash. just keep the boost button pressed, and aim your car with the stick to whatever direction you like (preferably in some opponent's car).

LASTABILLITY: 10. just like burnout 2, this game never gets boring for me. both games still get lots of playing time. the option to just pick a car, stage, and mode, really gives this game a play boost, becouse now you do not HAVE to invest a long time in the game if you have not got the time. just like outrun, you can just quickly pick up and play. witch you will do again, and again, and again.......... Razz

TOTALL SCORE: 9.8. the colabration of EA is noticable big time, but that did not harmed the game et all. i think this game has improved on its allready great prequell. thanks EA and creators, you have given me a gaming expirience i will never forget. not even after owning xbox 3 or so Very Happy
