Burnout or MCLA?

[Guest RB26DETT]

Hey guys. I don't have a single racing game for my PS3 aside from the Formula One and GRID demos. I was going to get GT5 Prologue but I'll just wait for the actual game. So I'm stuck between MCLA or Burnout. I need to know what are the pros and cons of each game and which is the better game between the two. I want to buy a new game on saturday.

 

Xbox people can vote and discuss as these games are on the 360 as well. :)

Did nawt!

MC:LA imo.. as much i dont own a ps3 i got both on Xbox 360, i prefer 100% MCLA its just fun overall..

 

Burnout is like a formula sort of like this - Nitro, damage, speed = Burnout

 

MCLA on the other hand is not.. Plain and simple. :-D Imo

[t.]

They are both weak for different reasons but if I had to recommend one for you I would say MCLA, despite me having more fun on Burnout.

Get MC:LA

 

If You Want Burnout Buy NFS:U As Its Cheaper. Seriously Burnout Paradise Reminded Me Of Need For Speed Undercover Within A Few Mins (Which Is Not A Good Thing)

MC LA

 

Just played Burnout with a friend (on his PS3) and it looked rubbish. I'm more a fan off MC LA, because you can tune and race with some nice cars.

 

Burnout is more a game for some fun but nothing serious (there arent licensed cars, like MC LA has)

Get MC:LA

Burnout is nothing like Undercover. It's actually not a bad game and I think the reviewers were far too harsh. I did the trial version on PC, even though I own it on 360, I really loved it after the first few minutes. Especially fun online with someone you know!

 

I'm actually considering buying it for PC I enjoyed it so much. :p

 

Midnight Club LA is a good game and I would probably recommend it more than burnout but it does get a bit repetitive and boring after a lot of racing etc...

[Guest RB26DETT]

Is there online free roam like TDU?

 

Cheers for the help guys, I posted this on CF as well and it's the other way 'round there. They're voting for BP. :p

Why does everyone care about licensed cars?!?! Burnout has NEVER had licensed cars, it NEVER will. Its ARCADE not a proper simulation as MCLA (a Simulation for ricers.)

 

And yeah Justin, to go online you join a group of people, the same as TDU really but you can do events while doing free roam in Burnout, its great fun.

 

So Justin, BUY BURNOUT! :D

[zo6dude]

As much fun as MCLA is... I'd have to say Burnout. I have them both and there both great games but Burnout is better in my opinion

[ShadowGT]

I rather enjoyed Burnout. MCLA is full of kids who think hot pink Lamborghini gallardo's with wide bodykits are cool.

[StrickenHAWK?]

MCLA, because i hate burnout games.

[Tool831]

Correction.. MCLA has normal kits along with 1 wide bodykit.. I haven't got deep into game but some cars dont even have bodykits i think

[ShadowGT]

everycar has 1 widebody kit & depending on the car a few regular bodykits.

[Guest RB26DETT]

Woah it's a tie in the voting!

 

Here's the other thread I made on CF

http://www.computerforum.com/145021-burnout-paradise-midnight-club-los-angeles.html

 

Over there people are telling me to get MCLA but the voting is in favor of BP. :p

 

I still haven't made up my mind even after watching Classic Game Room reviews on YouTube. o_o

[RRacer]

there's just one question do you like extreme destruction???

or do you like cruisin around and pimp almost everything on ya car

[Guest RB26DETT]

Nah I'm not basing it on the fact that this game has destruction or this game has customization. I'll watch more reviews on YouTube.

 

Is crashing a huge part of Burnout Paradise? Like do I have to crash in order to progress? That'd be idiotic as I'd like to race.

[RRacer]

well you have to crash to progress in previous versions but i don't know i don't have both games played em one time by friends or such but... burnout (not littrally) means destruction

[Guest RB26DETT]

Crashing modes once in a while is alright but I don't want it to be 50% of the gameplay. I'm considering BP as MCLA is still pretty pricey here. O_O

[StrickenHAWK?]

wait for it to come down then, or buy off ebay :D

[ShadowGT]

get burnout now as it's dirt cheap & get MCLA when it comes down in price.

[Guest RB26DETT]

I might just do that... hmmh

[Guest RB26DETT]

Well, I've been watching more reviews and they're both great games. The announcement of the DLC for MCLA though makes me want the game more now but that's shelling out another 1000 bucks making the cost of MCLA + the DLC to 4000 php or $85 US.

 

Why do I have a feeling that after this debate of BP vs MCLA, I'll get GT5P in the end. :p

Burnout and GT5P cost $42 each.
