| 1. Crash mode is quite a bit different than in 2. I was doing the same crash
situatoin over thinking if i got past 140K(like in the demo), I could move
to the next one(in single event mode). No, you have to do the story mode. I
was saving the story mode for last.
2. Way way WAY TOO MANY DIALOGS. Do we need to hit OK to say our rankings
are updated after every online race? Just do it, and don't bother telling me
if it didn't go through. It really doesn't matter. I think Metal Gear Solid
is the only other game I can think of that rivals this. Too many screens of
stats fly by that I don't care too much about after any event.
In story mode, I once won 5 cars after a race. I had to sit through 5
showcases of 5 cars via a crappy camera angles.
3. Can we please skip the driver training video? No, really, I've seen it
before.
4. Online mode:
a. This rivals Counterstrke in terms of bad connectivity to other servers.
I can't tell you how many times I get "unable to open communicaitons to
other players in the game". I get less disconnect excuses than I do FTP
servers.
b. I started my own game of 6 players, 5 other players showed up, and "start
game" was grayed out without any explanation
c. I join someone else's game and we just sit there for eons, probably the
other side of b. Hey if we have a room set for 6, and only have 5, just give
us an option(race type allowing) to start anyway.
d. Most servers are no series lock. That means you have about 100 hours of
story mode to get the top-speed cars since 99% of the other players have the
super high end cars. BTW that guy in the dirt-slow super car you see in
races is probably me(TriumphLynx). Case in point, in any road rage game I'm
in as red team, I can do sevreal laps and never see the other cars. *sigh*.
That means about 200 more dialogs I have to go through
5. When doing a retry on crash mode(single event), dont have that initiali
screen where the DJ tries to be funny. We can skip it entirely. No, really,
EA's own Ryan Seacrest can leave for the day.
Ugh. I aced Burnout 2. I can do the story mode races just fine. But when I'm
in any online race mode I'm
a) scrapin' walls
b) crashing into peds every 10 seconds(not being sarcastic about this)
c) finish dead last, or elminated
d) (red team) end up AHEAD of the blue team.
e) thankful after waiting for 10 minutes I can even be in an online race.
Whee!
