I don't think there is a such thing as easy to control in this game mate, It's easy to pick up and play certainly, it rocks.

Been playing the single player all night, unlocking cars and stuff. I went onto Live just to see what this EA network is like. Didn't play a game yet. Balls if I was gonna read that bloody agreement thing either - bloody things the length of the full Lord of the Rings story. Not that I've read the book - just know its a longass story.

The complaints on this thread sound about typical though - I'm amazed how a company that manages to balls up on such a regular basis and release weak ports on stronger consoles, has managed to be so successful.
But then never underestimate the power of official licenses and marketing BS.

I guess you have to hand it to em, theres not many companies that can take something as poor looking as the console Medal of Honor games and make plenty of people believe that they're the cream of the FPS crop.
Would just be nice if for once the games they develop actually had a budget that at least closely matched the marketing part of the process.

"Ok guys, this game is full of bugs and just about playable - as long as its not for periods of over 10 minutes.....I guess we could maybe hire some game testers that actually know what they're doing.....but we need to cash in by releasing it in 2 weeks time......Any other ideas on how we can justify the £40 price tag ?"

"No problem, dump a few Robbie Williams and Ice T songs on it...."

After an evening of playing online I have to say that once they patch it, Burnout 3's gonna be my favourite game online. For me to enjoy it this much and not be playing with people I know shows how much fun it is.

The glitches in the system really do need to be fixed though. It did seem to get a bit better later on in the evening, managed to stay in one game for a good 10 games and 3 different game modes without any hiccups, only reason I left was because I was knackered. Still, EA realy need to sort out the servers, the lobby set-up while a bit stupid can be overcome but the constant chucking you back to main menu everytime it trys to update stars is a pain in the ass.

Excellent game though. Managed to win practically every race I played, a lot of them by a good 20 seconds in front and this was against high ranked players which suprised me. Crash Party Mode's probably my favourite mode at he moment, pity that it sometimes takes a while to load though.
