WAY underrated, extremely well done racer
User Rating: 9.1 | Test Drive: Eve of Destruction XBOX
Simply put, this is one of the best driving games I've played on the xbox yet. No clue why anyone would rate this below an 8/10, but humans are weird, so ... :) Some may call me crazy, but I actually think this is a better game than Burnout 3. For starters, it's actually a real racing game, unlike BO3 which isn't. BO3 is not about racing, it's about spectacular crashes, and causing your opponents to crash. BO3 has an A.I. that CHEATS to catch back up to you for the sake of "excitement". Ultimately, this isn't fun, because if you have a big lead, it's for nothing. If you're way behind, and you come back and win, you don't feel like you've earned it. TD EoD features genuine racing, with honest A.I. , a multiplayer mode that isn't borked like BO3's (on crappy EA servers), fun physics, and great camera angles (including the e'er so rare cockpit view). Eve has a very fun career mode. You can buy cars, keep them or trade them in, upgrade them, repair them (except for irreparable damage!). You can participate in "Eves", and unlock new Eves as you progress, and you can drive over to a local diner and challenge people to races for cash. I am VERY pleased with this title, and would suggest at least a rental to see just how fun it is. If you're like me, you'll be buying it as quick as you can get back to the store.
