Re: [Xbox] Fw: Burnout Paradise getting motorcycles, night driving this August

Oh god yeah.

I still don't think Paradise is as good as Revenge was but little updates like
this redeem it. Not that it isn't a good game to begin with, I just get fed
up driving for an hour trying to find a Road Rage I haven't done yet when I
don't feel like playing the other modes. Despite what they say, doing other
events in-between doesn't anyway work - as you can end up even further from
your next event and you can't concentrate on where you are going and winning
a race/ taking people out, at the same time.

I wish they would add a proper GPS in an update. The map should have been
more like Test Drive Unlimited. I constantly make wrong turns because of
being used to a minimap that rotates. I "get" that finding the quickest
route is part of the skill of the game, but I still think its overly harsh on
people who haven't learnt the routes yet.

Alex.
