Shipping this week: bad driving edition

You know, in most cases -- most cases, mind you -- driving around like a maniac is a bad thing. It makes people angry, which in turn makes them drive more recklessly. Most importantly, it puts the life of the driver and the lives of those around that driver in danger. Burnout, however, is not most cases. In Burnout, you'd be crazy not to drive like a maniac. It's like some kind of road rage fantasy. Do whatever the hell you feel like. Drive on the wrong side of the road. Ignore that red light. Pass on the right. Yeah, we know it's naughty, but that's what makes it feel so good.
Oh, and just so you know, Burnout Paradise is the sole Xbox 360 release this week. Hope you enjoy it.

Yeahhh, i read that one online ;-) , hmm but the truth is i never played the other burnout games.
I have tried this demo ..... im really not sure if i liked it, because it was fun, good times... ;-) , but not really interesting i thought....
A week later im still loading up the demo, just to driver around and trying stuff, and....having fun - i think with the whole map it will be ...greatness..

same here, it's my first time trying a burnout title so I didn't really have the same reaction as fans of the previous burnouts

I enjoy Forza, but sometimes I just want to trash those AI cars.

anyone know who is releasing this with any bonuses?

It's weird that it seems the majority of people interested in picking this game up are newcomers to the series. Once you taste crash mode, you can't go back to this.

I tend to pass on the right because of jerks in the fast lane who never move. :)

Hmmm... road rage simulator. I've never thought about it that way, but that explains why I like it so much!
Number one pet peeve-- there's only about two cars that can actually fit in the intersection in the left turn lane. Everyone who goes through the red after that is just cheating.

oddly enough...yesterday i was driving and some guy was driving the wrong way on a 4 lane 1-way street...pursued by a cop...LOL
