You can rate this game in 2 words... Fun & Fast This maybe isn't the deepest racing game... but it's lots of fun, and that is what matters.

The speed is abosolutely astounding, and the crashes make you cringe as your car loses wheels, blows up tankers, and flips up mountains, all at 200+ mph.

AMAZING!!!!!

Beautiful game only flawed by the choice of music in the soundtrack. If they could have only added some tracks in a different musical genre, it would have been acceptable - but all this guitar-violence is not my cup of tea. Graphics are very nice - both scenery and animation. Gameplay is what this game is all about and it is close to perfect. Too bad EA had to implement their new copyright-protection thing on the discs - my second original is giving me "disc could be dirty or damaged" errors.… Expand

Other companies will find it completely disadventageous to release another racing game, unless the addicting element is something other than feeling of speed, control, cars physics, replay value. The only reason I give this a 9 instead of a 10 is because i would have liked to see more brand cars. But, that being said, with the superb gameplay, replay value and graphics, as Gamespot said, even if you aren't into racing games normally , "ANYONE WITH A PULSE WILL LOVE THIS GAME"!… Expand

I am in pain... the pain in my eyes is unbearable... why you might wonder? Its because my eyes were glued to the screen for the past 10 hours of nonstop BURNOUT 3 action. First, the EA TRAX are of my liking, but if it isnt really your cup of tea you can always put in your own soundtrack. The Graphics are Splendid... and all of the effects run smoothly and really shine. The addicting factor is definetely 10/10 as with this game once you pop you just cant stop. If you didn't get the game go ahead... even if you dont like racing games in general you'll like this one... XBOX Live is not working at the moment but I can gurantee that it would be fun to have 6 player road rages! bottom line: Get The Game... Its really worth it.… Expand

Amazing game! I don't know why some people don't like it *cough* Uter and FooAtari *cough* because it is amazing. The gameplay is awesome, custom soundtrack feature rocks, graphics are kickass, multiplayer is perfect, and the list goes on... wow... this game is amazing!!!

This game takes the racing to a whole new level. With the new added gameplay like Road Rash this game really delivers. You take a fast, high paced game and add crashing to the mix then you get an amazing game. Defenitly worth the money!

I'm not exactly a big racing game fan but this has got to be the most addictive game I've bought in the last year! Road Rage RULES!

This game is so exiting.

Fantastic. Extremely fast with gorgeous graphics. The single player section is enormous (i've played for about 12 hours and done about 25%). I haven't tried the online section yet but everything i've heard about that is good also - i can't wait. My 5 year old son particularly like the road rage section where you get to bash cars from the track. Highly recommended.

This game has the best replay value i have ever seen. AMAZING.

The best arcade racer game! It's amazing!!

Truly amazing racing gaming.

So quick your eyes will bleed.

This game is is insane!! crash junctions are the most fun and taking down other cars rocks!! i can't see another racer beating this for a while.

Excellent game! There's so many people that don't realise how good this game is and are too busy waiting for over-hyped games that turn out to be crap. One of the best games of the year is already here.

These fools who gave this game a low score dont know what theyre talking about this game is the best racer ive ever played.....The number one factor when it comes to racers should be the fun factor and this was just that, it was the most fun Ive had since fzero on nes systems....I was disappointed that it didnt have system link capabilities.

The only thing that keeps this game from getting a 10 is the soundtrack -- it's freaking HORRENDOUS. The Ramones is the only decent song; the rest suck. Thank god for the custom soundtrack. The gameplay is fun, and sense of speed crazy and the crashes too much fun. For those that say it's too short -- sorry, but not all of us get to sit in our parent's basement and play games for 12 hours a day. Some of us have jobs and kids and families, so we play an hour here and an hour there. So, IMHO, it's more than long enough.… Expand

This is my favorite racing game ever made. What can I say I'm addicted!

I feel as though this game didn't get enough credit for how amazing it really is. This game keeps you occupied for hours upon hours even after everything is completed. I'm still tryin for to more cars.

This game is just fun, pure fun. I hate racing simulators, why would anyone want there racing games mind numbingly hard and frustrating, when you can have it fast and destructive. This is by far the greatest racing game ever, the graphics look like they should be on a 360, the cars are beautiful. Heck even the sound track isn

AWESOME........SO COOL.

Wow holy crap this game is the best racer ive ever played.

This game is in my opinion the best arcade racing game ever! It has got all the elements to make it fun and competitive: 67 cars, 40 tracks, best crash engine ever, insane sense of speed and recklessness, and take downs rock. This is by far the most fun xbox game I have played. It is very polished and packed with content. If this isn't a A list game, I don't what is. Sure, this game would feel different to new comers, but after the initial learning curve, there isn't much not to like about the game. This marks the first time I've paid full price for a xbox game, and it is worth every penny. Short life span? 170+ events not enough for you? And since when is unlocking thing for almost event a bad thing? Only negative I see is that fact you'll want to try some of the stunts when driving in the real world. - DO try this at home, not on the road... -… Expand

This game is flawless! i knew that upon purchasing this game that it was going to be good but its much better than i could ever have imagined!!! the amount of cars and tracks is like 5x the amount of burnout 2 and the graphics are suburb especialy when u take out an opponent or crash. i could sit here all day and try to fault this game and maybe just say that the d.j is a t**t lol nice ones criterion!!!!!!!… Expand

Burnout once again delivers a grounbreaking racer which combines a brilliant racing element with destructive crashes. Best racing game this year.

Wat a game, this is so awesome and fun while it's really big and has good online and multiplayer options. Best racing game by far.

Not generally a huge fan of recing games, but this one is simply incredible. The speed is phenomenal, the crashes are beautiful, and the competition is as determined to win the race as you are! the only gripe I have with the game, is the lack of replay's. With such beautiful crash sequences why not allow a user to save their most spactaular and share among friends?

Very very impressive soundtrack, race and crash physics, track variety, and theme. 10/10!

best racing game ever.

Absolute must have. My 5 year old son and i were thrilled by this one. Hands down the best game i think i have ever owned.

By far the best arcade racer on the Xbox to date. The pace is incredibly fast and the crashes are spectacular. Definitely worth buying.

I'm confused... this soundtrack has some forgettable punk tracks, but seriously, The Futureheads, Atrayu, The Von Bondies and Franz Ferdinand are all on this soundtrack too. EA is branching out with the music selection, so unlike the last game not ALL the damn songs are crappy nu-metal. Take a friggin second to make a custom soundtrack and enjoy the best racing game ever made, ya losers.

Absolutely amazing. Best soundtrack for a game in many years. Intense gameplay, nearly 200 events, and never-ending car destroying fun, make this game the best to hit shelves in a loooong time.

This it the best game i have seen in my life the crashes are nice so are the explosins music is good if u like rock so overall the best game.

Absolutely kicka$$, far better than pgr2 and all otha racers apart from maybe midtown madness 3.

I never reall liked racing games untill i played this one. this game is amazing. its not even all about the racing; its about bashing the other cars and watching them fly back and hit other cars putting u in first.

The single most addictive, incredible racing experience that I've ever had. I was a big Grand Turismo fan (and still am), but this game is definitely more fun (to me) than ANY other racing game. Believe the hype folks, it's that good.

My friend and i often tire of first person shooters so we switch to this, and we end up playing for 4 hours. The best racing game money can buy.

The gameplay is absolutely adorable. It is SO fast! The graphics are so great, and I loved it in 2004 and still love it in 2012! The game was great on both Xbox and PS2. Revenge was really good too but it wouldn't have existed without this one!
