two fundamental flaws in this game

This is a very fun and VERY ADDICTIVE game within the first few hours

BUT, two things about this game annoys me;

A)
you are within an ich of the finish line, and thereby an inch away from
getting an updated version of the car you're driving, and time runs out - you are not offered the possibility of restarting the race, so you have to drive back to the marker to restart... after two tries with the spur i gave up because i had to do that - this, as you might've guessed, i find most annouying with the burning road

B)
you can't jump to a particular race from the map, so once again you have to drive... it is sooooo frustrating when you end up in the mountain area of the game where markers are few...

otherwise i like the game, it is entertaining, and that's what games are for...

just my two cents

- and i like this first burnout for pc release, very nice
