It’s a fine racer but they clearly hadn’t found their secret ingredient which is why it barely feels like a Burnout game and overall came off as a bit dull. I mean there isn’t even a crash event in this game which I think says it all.

I like the handling of the cars but only being able to use your boost once the meter is full (which takes quite a while and often doesn’t happen at all), takes away the high octane gameplay of later entries and gives us a fairly standard racing title which visually isn’t that appealing and the races take far too long. It’s not a bad game by any means, I think it’s actually well made for its time but I have no desire to complete it.
