Anyone know how to disable the bloom?

What do you think of it? (aside from the bloom)

It sounds like it's pretty good, and just the sort of thing for blowing off some steam when you've rolled it at the same corner five minutes into an RBR stage for the fifth time in a row.

Its some good fun if you like wreckin'. Don't expect any deep storyline.... Basically you drive around the city completing races and various challenges. Great sfx and gfx too.

Its kept my attention for the week or so i've had it. I play it daily for about an hour or so.

Thanks. I'll probably check it out.

The one gripe I have about sims is that they've ruined me for a lot of arcade racers. This Burnout deal looks like a I could enjoy. Turbo boost, ramps, crashing through billboards and weaving through oncoming traffic. That sounds fine to me. A good gamepad kind of racer.

Flatout was pretty cool. Have you played any of the newer versions? If you have, do they work okay with a wheel or is a gamepad better?

Thanks for the info scca. On the subject of arcade games, I'm pretty stoked for Street Fighter 4 next week. Street Fighter and I, we go way back. Haven't played any of them since Super Street Fighter 2 so I'm looking forward to it.

I have flatout 2 also. Both are fun games. I use my gamepad (dual analog shock) for the arcade games.
