Corvin and thelwig14, I think you're both nuts. I thought Burnout Paradise was incredible, having put about 80hours into it.
I'll give Split Second a chance, but I didn't see any spectacular over the top wreckage. The cars still seemed very slick even though they crashed.

Burnout Paradise will be the last racing game I buy this generation. There's almost too much to do in that game.

Seriously, you guys that gave up on Burnout Paradise last year really need to check it out after the past couple of updates (specifically, motorcycles and restart).
It's an amazing game.
As for the topic game...I've gotta say that I was fairly impressed with Pure, so this is probably worthwhile. I just don't think I'll bite.

Yeah, Paradise really is a whole new game now (well, more like 1.5), but everything about it has been tweaked and overhauled where it barely resembles the original release.

I recently told my buddy "eroc" that I'd personally refund his money if he didn't like it. He jokingly tried to collect, but it was pretty hard to convince me when he was playing every damn night!

Pretty cool looking. I like the destructible environments idea.
I was a little worried when, at the beginning of the trailer with the Disney logo, I half expected the cars to have mouths and to start talking. I guess I have Disney bias.

I'm one of those people that gave up on Burnout Paradise, too. It just felt too big to me (odd, considering Fallout 3 felt too small to me!)
But, after all the comments about how it has gotten better, I'm going to play it all weekend

Looks like Q1 is no more. Amazon and Best Buy are both listing a May release date now. That increases my chances of picking up Blur though.

The demo is now out. It's... interesting for a racing game. The game is no Burnout:Paradise killer, though.

Bottom line for me: This is a racing game, and I have too many other racing games already (Wipeout HD, Pure, Motorstorm, and Modnation coming soon).
Note that Paradise isn't on that list because racing is a very small part of what it's about.

Hey, this game has that teal and orange look that was bitched about in the movie forum, doesn't it?
