Not too bad!

I've played the Burnout: 3 demo in past, and my friends couldn't stop playing the one stage over and over again! I decided to purchase this title, since I skipped out on Burnout: 3, and I wasn't disappointed! The same basic concept is in this one as the 3rd....destroy cars!! There's little more to do in this title, as the other types of "races" keep you interested!
To start, there are a couple of ways to play during a "career mode". Race, which of course is first to the finish, smashing and shunting your way to victory. Crash, which they give you a section of a busy road and your object is to cause as much chaos as possible and creating a BIG dollar amount of damage to earn your gold medal. Road Rage, take out as many cars as possible, and they give you a set amount of cars to wreck to get your medal.
Gameplay is fun, but of course if you overplay it in one day you may get a little bored. It is definitely a "get-your-friends-over-with-some-beer-and-blow-crap-up" type of game! :) Controls are easy, and if you're going 180 MPH...you REALLY feel like you're going that fast as the environment FLIES past you!
The graphics are subpar, as they could be better....but at 175 MPH it's hard to spot good graphics! The loading times are AWFUL, as it takes FOREVER to load the races and if you want to RETRY...you're in for the FULL load time once again. The only race it doesn't "reload" are the Crash type races.
Online with this game is pretty fun, but most of the races are 5-6 race sets and if you get in a group with people that are awesome at this game (and there are a LOT of them!) then you're stuck with them for 5 or so races! There is absolutely NO lag time or delay in controls on a good broadband connection, and getting in a race is easy and fast. Everybody online also has "crash" and "race" ratings so you know who's good at what.
Overall, if you can get this game for a good price it's worth it, especially for a party kind of game. As for one-player replay value after you're done with it, I'm not sure it would hold true.
