[quote name='sublime90']after tossing and turning im getting it from BestBuy after all. i want points and 3 free cars. i really liked the demo and im actually looking forward to playing online where its harder to avoid explosions and to nail someone. im not really into racers either, the only racing game i own is burnout paradise.[/QUOTE]
With BP being your sole racing game, this should
feel familiar right away. No setups and cars
with no weight that hover like planes.
Cars have a nice grip and weight to them, similar to BP.
I played through the local campaign on normal and honestly
never felt the AI was unfair. The non-traditional races
are a bit tougher to 1st place, though with enough
Firsts and Thirds taking the championship is within reach.
[the AI treats you like family, compared to Mod Nation]
I only grabbed first for around 65% and none less than third
and finished around 12 points in front of second.
As for the online, without grabbing the downloadable
pack or unlocking everything through career, your
chances are slim. You will see the studs at the
beginning and then you will end up so far back
that regardless of them taking each other out,
it will have no effect on your placing.
I have unlocked quite a few, though there are just
some beasts out there that look like the Batmobile
that are untouchable with anything that I have unlocked.
Like plenty of games, I believe that some of the folks
playing SS against Blur have not really played one or both
and are simply regurgitating for the sake of being contrary.
Not because their opinions differ from mine, they just do not
sound as if based on actual experience.
