    I have it, gets real old real soon. The racing isn't fun, and it takes forever to find an event to enjoy later on.

    pretty fun on road rage, not too good on the rest. Marked man is fun also. It's pretty speedy, but like I said it gets old pretty soon.

    Marked Man is a basic mode avalible since launch on PS3/X360.

    LongLiveLife - I bet you're just sayng that because you suck at the game :)

    Love the game, finished the orignal on Xbox 360 now doing it again for Ultimate Box on PC. The bikes sorta suck but just stick to the cars and its mad fun. It does get annoying at times because you can't restart a race and have to find the starting point again after losing (and driving across the whole city) but that is a minor hiccup in what I think is the best Burnout title yet.

    That's not true anymore, if you open the in-game menu thing (right on a gamepad) you now have the option to restart a race, or redo the last finished race. This was added to the PS3 and Xbox360 version when the PC version was released and was native to the PC release.

    I also LOVE it. It's my favourite PC racing game.

    Well it seems like there is alot of people here who like it, if steam has a good deal on it i might just scoop it up.
