I purchased Burnout today. The main reason I got it was that it was supposed to support HDTV resolutions, but have yet to get that to work. The game is fairly entertaining, but not the best racing game out there. It simulates crashes, and even almost rewards you for them. The realism of driving is not that great however. If you are a driving sim snob, you probably won't like it. It's more arcady. If you like that kind of game, you'll like it, but I'd think it's more of an own it type game than a rent it type game. You have to win races to unlock features in the game. For this reason, it will take a while for you to get to enjoy the entire product. It's not the kind of game I'd want to sit down and play for 10 hours straight, but rather every couple of days for an hour or two.
