Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

When you're romancing for your 7th Pinata in a species (or above) - when the hearts are flashing - there are 2 other goals; collect all the hearts and finish to get a wildcard bonus (achievements for getting 1 and 10 of them), and finish 'in the fastest time' to get a twin bonus (again, achievements for getting 1 and 10 of them). Never really figured out what the fastest times are for each Pinata, I just get to know the maze well on previous visits and give it a good shot. Only got 1 of those so far though :/

End Spoiler Alert!

GRID is pretty high on my rental list, I love driving games and a lot of people think it's the best you can get on the 360, so I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl

I enjoyed it, it's a good game, but it does start to feel repetative.
Graphically it is absolutely stunning and the interface is second to none.

Couldn't have put it better tbh. However i would like to add that going around a corner at 100Mph sideways in a ford mustang now matter how repetitive never gets old. Grid is as good as 3d arcade racing gets imo.

NokkonWud · 17-10-2008, 22:36

I would say Burnout Revenge tops it, but purely on a gameplay perspective, but as you said, that Ford Mustang, sideways is a joy, particularly in San Francisco and it HAS to be played on the interior view.

Streeteh · 17-10-2008, 22:44

Burnout is on par with it imo, but it also has its niggles such as the ability to not restart races (GRRRRRR!). They're on equal footing as far as i'm concerned which is fantastic as they're both epic!

And yes, i experienced the Frisco' level in the demo on interior view with a Driving Force Pro (not the most efficient way to play, but certainly the most fun) and was utterly taken aback, the engine is just beautiful when in its element.

[EDIT] (how the crap have i racked up 21 posts already? This forum is clearly going to be the end of me)

Erm he said Revenge not Paradise

The former being waaaay better than the latter and having the race restart option

Oh crud cakes, you appear to be right D:, i never played Revenge so can't comment, i'll just stay quiet now

Psymonkee · 17-10-2008, 22:54

Or better yet you could grab a 360, get Revenge and then get some real revenge

Seriously good game (and tough as nails to boot

)

My currently playing list has changed somewhat.....

Fifa 09 is still getting played a lot, and I'm still loving it. Got more achievement points on this inside 2 weeks than I got after nearly a year with PES 2008, thanks to a much better achievement list. Maybe Konami will take stock of that and improve it next year.

Mercenaries 2 is also being played now. I picked it up for £1 after trading in a whole load of old PS2 games, and I'm enjoying it so far. It doesn't quite yet have the charm of the original, but I'm only a few missions in. Still managed to get over 200 points on it in a couple of hours though

Mass Effect has also gone back in the 360 for the first time in ages. Really got the urge to play it for some reason, so went through the Bring Down The Sky DLC that I bought ages ago. It's really reminded me how much I love the game, but with Fable and Dead Space this weekend I doubt I'll play it much beyond this week. I really need a few days off to go through everything I want to as there just aren't enough hours in the day, what with working as well
