Burnout 3 first impressions…

Burnout 3 first impressions… Sep 15. 045

We have a copy of Burnout 3 for the PS2 at work. We’ve given it a little play over the past few days.

Why no race replays in Burnout 3?

It’s a fantastic game, a definite step forward from Burnout 2… But there are a few things which aren’t quite right:

There’s way too much motion blur at the screen edges in 2 player modes. It’s like someone is smearing large lumps of lard on the screen everytime you round a corner. Not good.
The ‘Takedown Camera’ breaks the flow of play in race mode (Thankfully you can turn this off!)
There are no race replays!!! What!?!?

No race replays! Watching a replay of a race where you totally whipped your mates was one of Burnout 2’s best features. What happened to race replays Criterion???

I think they were just trying to save you the shame of watching your defeat at the hands of the EvilDrew.

(or something)

Har har Mr Drew. I challenge you to a Burnout 3 duel at dawn tommorow. Well, maybe at lunchtime anyhow.

Ha!

Isn’t there a saying about all work and no play??? I can’t remember what it is though… :)

To be honest with you, I never played a bad Burnout game, the series is pretty darn good. I for one love the slow mo shots, but yes, there could be a lot less blur.
