It has a sort of career mode. It doesn`t have any of that stupid driver specific progression, but it does require you to compete in championships, and as you go along take on head to head challenges and other different tasks. Thats pretty much a career mode.

Its good fun, but its not quite what you say. Its more of a "hurl your car into a busy junction" type thing from what I`ve seen so far. Its not a destruction Derby affair, more of a ditch and hope.

Me too. If this was released in the Summer, it would be a definite purchase - but because there are so many high quality games released recently and coming soon, I'll purchase those first. Or win the lottery and buy them all.

I have played the demo and i thought that it was god, although because their is no career mode it might not have a very good life span. Never the less i expect i'll get it eventually, but their are too many good games coming out that i'll get first, so it'll probably go platinum before iget it. My friend has rented and said it was brilliant, their is a crash mode which looks fun - It requires you to drive around a course causing as much dammage as possible.

Um, no?

I dunno.

I`ve played the game, is that an indication of how good the demo is?

Yeh, I should be able to have a third go sometime tomorrow, so I`ll try and give the Oval Racer a decent test run... until the next beastie racer comes along :D

Yeah that siren can get annoying in persuit mode, and you can't even turn the damn thing off unless you play as a different persuit car to the police car.

The Oval Racer is good, a bit slow at turning corners, but bloody fast, it's probably my favourite car in the game, but I haven't unlocked them all yet so that could change.

I had a second go last night, again only managing to play for a short while, but I was able to unlock some sort of Oval Racer. Dunno if its any good, but it seemed quite fast. The Police car is nice as well... but I have the feeling that when I play my brother he`ll have the siren on ALL the time :D

SLOW!!!!! You sure your playing the same game I have downstairs? Burnout 2 is possibly the fastest game I own on any sytem, only matched by Extreme G3. The graphics are amazing and no pop up or slow down what so ever despite the speeds you can reach.

I really don't know how the X-Box and GC versions are going to improve on whats already a near perfect arcade racer. Slow indeed.
