It also really only serves to slow the gameplay down, because you want to make sure that you're on the right path rather than blowing by an important turn and having to back-track. In practice however, it's usually pretty clear what the fastest route is and your task is really just to follow it, which is a pain in the arse, because you're somehow supposed to look at your mini-map and waypoints while simultaneously following the usual high-octane Burnout racing action, which is borderline impossible and results in a lot of crashes. The open world-design really is a double-edge sword: On the one hand, it allows for exploration between races and creativity during events as you can always choose your own route.

I'm currently on license B and the only time I ever lose races is when I miss a crucial turn, which leads me directly into my next point. Combine that with there only being a little more than a handful of locations that serve as destinations for races (totally unnecessary limitation, as there is really nothing special about these spots) and very few types of events, and they all start to feel same-y and repetitive REALLY quickly (I'm only 4 or 5 hours in and already bored).
The world is pretty intricate when it comes to shortcuts and such, but it is also preeeetty small. It's not a bad game by any means (6 still means above average, after all), but it's got a lot of flaws. And I have to say: I'm not impressed, especially not for the price. So this is the review of someone going in with a fresh set of eyes. So I never played the original back in the day, but I loved the earlier Burnout games to death, especially the all-time classic Burnout 3.
