For starters, I really don't see what the open city adds to the game (unless it's nothing). I definitely prefer simple and fast menus to stupid driving around. The fact that such an open city is now possible doesn't mean it should be implemented. Change for change's sake is plain wrong. Played the demo and was very unimpressed.

Online is the best bit about it Roly...seamless on the PS3 and no trouble finding strangers to play against. Just select "Open" and they're in. There are problems though - not being able to restart a race if you don't finish...you have to drive back to the starting position. The crashes are some of the best…love the crumpling cars.

I have a feeling that it's physics based, but there were quite a few times were I felt as though I was watching a crash I had done a few minutes. Still looked, neat though. Most of the time spent playing the demo was spent futzing around the world, going fast, and crashing into things as fast as I could. The new crash scenes are pretty awesome.

Why? In-game advertisements. Look, they asked for an extra $10 for games because they're supposedly so much more difficult/costly to make now, fine, we gave them that. There's no justification for putting REAL WORLD advertisements in my games. I play games to ESCAPE reality, not look at more advertisements for ford trucks and body spray. And no, I don't care how well "it fits with the theme" of the game, that's no excuse. Whether you find the APPEARANCE of them annoying or not is beside the point, they're making MONEY by ADVERTISING to us in our games. That's complete BS and I refuse to suppport it.
