The only thing I can really say against it is that it is not Burnout Revenge (aka Burnout 4), which isn't exactly revolutionary but is evolutionary to the point where once you've gotten used to 4 it feels awkward to go back to 3.But I digress. Burnout 3 is an amazing racing game, and nothing can match the Burnout series for sheer sense of speed. When you're blazing down the busy highway at 200 mph, it feels like you're blazing down the busy highway at 200 mph.It's worth mentioning that Burnout, as a series, is very arcadey. By that, I mean the focus is more on over-the-top action than on simulation, like Project Gotham Racing is. One style is not inherently better than the other, it's all up to your personal tastes.The crash mode is entertaining as a diversion, but gets old fast. Thankfully, the crash mode is not the whole game, it's just the thing that stands out and sets Burnout apart from the crowd. Once you actually play it, you'll find the racing to be very enjoyable. It almost plays like a hybrid between a racer and a fighting game... While you're taking short cuts, drifting past curves and making huge jumps, you gotta keep an eye out behind you for enemies just waiting to take you out. Similarly, you have to try and find opportunities to take out your opponents as well, as that's the fastest way to get boost and the only way to extend your boost bar.</blockquote>
