I might mention this to Major Nelson on his blog page but the next dash update needs to offer real-time 'active download' status information readable on Xbox.com. I'd love to know, when I'm away from my Xbox, how far along the download is.

i have played all the burnouts and this demo doesnt not dissappoint... online demo is great,
just go up to a light to start an event...
very fun, slow down crashes in single player are incredible
i love how people say i just want a nextgen burnout 3 but then if a gaming company does that everyone says why didnt they change anything
i think the changes are perfect
cant wait for this to come out

Just got done with the demo. Will not buy Burnout Paradise at all. Might rent.
I don't wanna be in a sandbox racing world! GAH! Give me menus to race, crash, takedown or whatever. I don't want to memorize roads, find races or locate..locations. I. don't. Care. I want arcade drop-in-and-play gameplay. I don't want a world simulator. DJ Atomica (sp) was just run of the mill voice rambling, too.
Big meh to Burnout Paradise's demo. Wished for a ton more. I want Takedown 2. Keep it fast and arcadey!

I agree with Whiskey. I just logged in some playing time and I wasn't that impressed. It's freaking Burnout. Let us race and crash into things.
The new crash animations were pretty cool but having to drive around and learn the map before actually racing got boring fast. Get us into races, let us experience the crashes without all of the free roaming. Leave that to GTA and Crackdown.
We'll see. January 22nd is still awhile away. Hopefully I can change my mind on this before then.

When I played Burnout this morning, the first thing that came to mind was GTA (without the people acourse). I love the old Burnouts and this new one is going to take some time getting use to. The whole online setup is revolutionary. i love not having menus but it is kind of weird.
Is it just me or does it seem slower when you boost?

Yes def. I didnt get that break ur neck speed feeling when i was boosting. Maybe casue the car isnt that great.
And my online play wasnt working last nite. Couldnt find anyone to join. Is it only friends that can join you? Mine just hung on the connect screen.
Still liked the game. The free raoming was really cool. I love being able to go where ever i want. Not just a strsight route.

This is one game that did not need a "free roam" aspect. Ugh. I guess I'll be passing.

I never really played any of the other games in the series, but I think the demo is great. There were four of us playing for a few hours last night - two of the guys were Burnout veterans - and it was a blast. Just cruising around and one-upping each other on the challenges was a lot of fun. This will be a purchase for sure...
