Now i REALLY won't buy this!

The crashes always did bug me, but now they have decent physics engines, it really will seem like a kick in the balls.

Haha. Not the best, but certainly pointed out the main flaws in the game.

Extreme laughter at the Street racers and Princess Diana reference.

"Hey, every one. Come and see captain 'crashes a lot'."
"Like GTA, but a hell of a lot broken."

Praise to you and hopefully, I'll donate some money (not soon).

For the second week in a row I decided to risk plugging in my headphones and watching the danged review IN CLASS. Thus for the second week in a row, my muffled gaffaws attracted the professor who cast a steely eye at my computer screen and remarked "That's not Maya..."

I'd blame Yahtzee for being so funny as to get me in trouble if that wouldn't be a really stupid move. Moral of the story: don't watch those reviews in class. No matter how tempting it is.

Fine form as ever: a friend of mine owned the game and he called me over to play it and I proceeded to crash five times in around ten minutes and wrote off the whole thing as largely pointless.

In completely unrelated news, according to the LA Times, around 100 people in the LA area alone die yearly in illegal street races. Especially since racing in traffic is gaining popularity.
It's not stalking! It's artistic reference!

It's fun with a room of friends, and crashing 5 times every ten minutes is not bad at all.

Good review. Especially liked the post apocalyptic landscape with only cars remaining interpretation.
I liked the original burnout, but not enough to purchase any of the sequels. Yahtzee has steered me clear of this one as well it would seem.

Has anyone watched the De-rez thing linked to in the update.

Don't. Just don't. I watched the whole thing looking for the Yahtzee parody Yahtzee mentioned...by far it was the best thing there, as it was only utter shite. Do these people really think they are funny or something?

Yeah, watched that and one other De-Rez.

I can see what you mean, humour is subjective and not everyone likes the same thing, but personally I didn't think it was funny enough. They seemed to take the most obvious and blatant route with most of their humour, and as most good comedians know, good humour is often about taking your audience off guard.

Honestly though, I feel a bit envious in that at the very least, the guys managed to link up with other guys and make things like this. I've always been interested in filmmaking, but I'm not sure how to get people to help me make these sort of things. Then again, maybe I just need some more gall to go up and ask people. You often hear of skilled filmmakers being able to "rope" people in.

I agree it was the sort of immature shite me and my mates used to cobble together when we were 15 years old but I sat through the whole thing thinking it was going to get better; it didn’t. I can only assume Yahtzee recommended it because the escapist told him to, they must be trying to milk a few more hits from the ol ZP cow.

And dreamer two good pieces of advice for Fullyramblomatic.com

1) Don’t watch the reviews in a public place because people will think you're insane when you start laughing to yourself.

2) Don’t follow any of Gobblers links if you're in a public place, in fact it would be best if you didn’t follow them at all...

Even though its only been out a few weeks, the price has already dropped to £25 on the 360 and £30 for the PS3.

Well...I thought it was kinda funny. I mean, Yhatzee getting drunk and molesting animals? Funny.


BTW, has anyone started on that "homework" Yahtzee gave us at the end?

I haven't even done the homework that he gave us six years ago.
