I've played Burnout 3 plenty of times already, so I knew it was amazing. Finally got around to buying my own copy.
I would highly recommend Burnout 2 as well. Focuses more on the racing than the crashing (though the crashes are still spectacular), and it's an easy find in the bargain bin.
I was going to pick up Burnout 3 from some games shop in Lund 2nd hand. Game was there at 2pm on Saturday, decided to go and pick it up later but forgot most things close really early most Saturday's here. Shop was already shut. Went back on the Monday, game was sold :/ Didn't have the cash to pick it up new
I'll pick it up as soon as I see it for a decent price as it does look an awesome game, seems most people really like it.
