This thread has been linked to the game 'Burnout'.
Have any of you got (or played) both Burnout 1 & 2? The reason I ask is because the Woolworths near me has got 2 Xbox games for £30, and I was going to get Burnout and Quantum Redshift.
However, if Burnout 2 is MUCH better than the first, then I may well just buy that at full price. I know that 2 has the online scoreboards, but I don't have Live, so that makes no difference to me.
What I don want to know is how much bigger/better Burnout 2 is over the original.
Cheers.

Burnout 2 is much better than the original. Its got crash junctions, and lots lots more unlockable cars etc etc. I can't be bothered to write a big long reply.
I thought the the first Burnout game was crap. Races were too long and boring and the crashes just became stupidly annoying.
Didnt bother with the 2nd one, it would have to be a huge improvement for me to cosider it. and i usually love driving games...

Same as Ortega for me. The first one was very poor despite it being fun for about 10 minutes. The second is a lot better though but I still don't think its worth £30 +.
Quantum Redshift is really terrible, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
Burnout 2 is much better - I had the original on Gamecube, 2 on Xbox, you can customise soundtracks, pursuit mode, ton's of race modes, crash mode, plenty of cars and unlockables etc Worth the cash.
The basis of the game can be completed in a weekend though and I didn't enjoy it enough to want to go through the crash junctions etc. Its good whilst it lasts but its over far too quickly. Out of the 3 I had ear marked (Def Jam, Burnout 2 and NBA Street 2) the one I least expected to appeal on a long term basis - NBA Street 2 - ended up the one I enjoyed the most.
Burnout 2 is awesome and that's all I'm gonna say.
Its brilliant. The crashing mode (what ever it is called) is alot better than the first one and you can have hours of fun on it. Over all it is alot better. To put it this way if you liked the first one you will like this one alot more.
I'd reccommend Burnout 2. It's great fun, if a little short lived.
