my guilty pleasure

i've been playing burnout 3 for a few months now. and all i can say is that it's one hell of a game!

i've finished all the races were i was pitted against the computer ai and now i'm left with crash mode (where you're goal is to wreck havoc and raise hell as much as you can on the streets by succesfully ramming your car onto traffic) and time attack mode (where you race against the clock using a super duper umphed car, imagine an f1 cart with nos). crash mode is what sets this game apart from other racing games. it's easy, straight forward and very much enjoyable. it's like playing with your matchbox cars and causing a major pile up, digitally. on the other hand, time attack mode gets to be a pain and tedious when you're on your nth time racing trough the same track at 200mph trying to steer that fragile tin can on four wheels avoiding huge trucks and what nots.

i think i would've thrown this game out the window (because of that frustrating time attack mode) if not for it's other modes and it's wonderful soundtrack.

the soundtrack features exceptional bands, jimmy eat world, ash and franz ferdinand(woot!), just to name a few. actually, imo they are the only exceptional bands in the soundtrack. hehe.Ü other bands like yellow card, new found glory, etc, fills the gap between these three bands. but don't get me wrong, they still deliver heart thumping and adrenaline rush inducing music none the less.
(particulary, this band called my chemical romance. i really like their single, "i'm not okay." but i don't like how they look. reminds me of good charlotte. bah!)

i want to finish this game na. then gt4 will be may next target. hehehe.Ü (now if only i could somehow find a way to squeeze 180 bucks in my expenses...)
