The only thing NFS got over Burnout is licensed cars. Burnout graphics and sound are much cleaner than NFS. One thing I hate about NFS is when you drivin really fast, then all sudden a car pops up right in front of your face and you don't have much time to dodge it. Whiile in Burnout, you can still see the car or basically anything from far away. Another thing NFS gets too repetitive.
I love the burnout series...I used to play it on xbox all the time, but NFS also pretty good....I like burnout better becuase its more fast-paced and exciting....But Need For Speed is alright, too
