Yes! It's simply awesome... not much more you could ask for from an arcady driving game. The special abilities are a wicked touch too! I've heard it's only downside is that it gets too hard later on in the game
Not too hard in my opinion. Just very challenging, which to me is somewhat refreshing. It means you might have to do a single race several times to learn the route, and then do a perfect lap or two, but it's so rewarding when you do it! I swear this game has me addicted!
I love the EMP special ability which is a new addition for this game. Probably the most useful ability for me. 
Yeah i'm thinking the reviewer who wrote that is just a poo gamer  I'm loving the fact it's getting a bit harder, more challenging. Now i've just kitted my muscle car up the races are getting a bit more intense and traffic weaving like burnout - but better! I'm not looking forward to having to bet your car in a race - my mate has lost two of his most kitted up cars..GONE 
Yeah I lost 3 of my cars doing that! I was so infuriated I felt like chucking my controller through the window! But what I did was I went and bought another one of my first cars, the '83 VW Golf (the cheapest in the game) and kitted it out fully for free (having already bought the upgrades) and then took him on four times and won all my cars back, plus his car. The route is always the same, and it's easy to learn. I could beat him every time now by a good 20-30 seconds.
However, my game screwed up because of a bug and instead of winning my original Golf back (the first one), the game gave me back a clone of my muscle car (maybe cause I bought another Golf? I dunno). So I had two muscle cars exactly the same! So I then sold one and was happy cause it was worth more so I made money out of the bug.

Cheers for the tip about buying your old car back and being able to kit it out for free. I'm sure i'm gonna lose a couple of cars to him before i manage to perfect the route!

Is it the pink slips race near the beach? If so it's always the route named 'Old Route 66'. You can go into arcade mode and practise it first then you'll be a pro. There might be differences in the positioning of the checkpoints when you go and do it for real, but it's the same route, with longer spaces between checkpoints. The longer spacing means there's a few shortcuts you can take too.
By the way, it's easier to do it in a slower car. If you upgrade your car, your opponent upgrades to match it, no matter what you drive. Slower cars are easier to control and therefore easier to win in. Good luck!

What format are the videos in? Also how are you sharing your videos with your xbox atm?
I use tversity, and i convert .mkv files with something called GOTsent which remuxes the video and audio in to an .mp4 container which is compatible with the 360 |

@Trev Almost perfect timing to trade Farcry2 in...Gears is out on Friday
@Oli... been playing MC:LA almost solidly this weekend, up to Legend rank now and the races are starting to get interesting *read: challenging* lol Leaving the pinkslip races atm, but i'm pretty confident that i will breeze them, if not only losing 1 car. I hope at least anyway!
Just bought the $17,000 Kawasaki Ninja and it's rinsingly fast! What i cant believe is that the Ducati is $32,000 and is sh*tter. Go figure! Havent done many races with the bikes yet though. |

I haven't played in 3-4 days cause I have to study! God, I can't wait til my exam is over on Thursday! I'm up to the highest rank which is Idol, but I still am yet to buy a bike. I think I'll copy you in getting a Ninja, though I've always liked the Ducatis. I think the price is just paying for the brand though, just like with the Saleen, etc.

I'm up to Valant rank now, i'm guessing that Idol is the next rank up from that one?
Won the Murchielago DUB race last night....by the skin of my teeth. Placed 2nd in the first race, 1st in the second, and last place in the final race. 3 out of the 4 drivers finished on 12 points, but i won it! So pleased i've got myself an exotic motor now, the old Evo wasnt really cutting the mustard in the races. I've done a few races with the bike now too and it's pretty good at winning races. It's nice when you hit a corner and weight transfer round it and dont lose hardly any speed |

I'd definitely say it's worth it if you're into arcadey racers.
I'm playing on PS3 though, but the versions sound exactly the same as each other!
