The only major complaint I had about it was that it fell prey to the Burnout 3 "make every single little dumbass thing in the game an unlockable" phenomenon. Also, I had only rented the PS2 version, but when buying I went for the XBox version, and godDAMMIT either my XBox sucks or this disc sucks because I get disc read errors almost once an hour.

While I'm at it, I've got a complaint I forgot to include in my review: why did they make Erick Sermon and Ice-T such goddamn wusses?! E-Double is one of the few holdouts from the early 90s New York rap scene still making listenable music, Ice-T's got so much pimp game that he can just point at a bitch and demand that she suck the skin right off his dick and she'd be all like SURE WHY NOT because it's not possible that she could have any other response. So naturally they're completely unfuckingplayable due to having weak stats a poor moveset. Then they give the most whigged out of whiggers, Crazy Legs, all the tricky-timing attacks that serve to make him almost unbeatable. I ain't feeling that! You've got about twenty or so fake characters, many who lack any kind of flava whatsoever - why not make them the punks, perpetrators and pussies instead?

Another brand new complaint: Ludacris and Lil' Flip are in the game, but not on the soundtrack. Even though EA had room for two weaktea crybaby songs by Bless, aka "whothefuck"?

Great game, but somebody at EA needs to get snee-smashed for some of these boneheaded decisions.
