Does it seem like they're trying to compete with Burnout?

I think the racing feels solid. I don't really like the way drifting is handled, because it seems to slow me down, and there doesn't seem to be that big of a penalty for just powering around a corner and hitting the wall. The power ups add a lot to the game, and I like that it uses real world cars =x I can't tell if the Mods are useful or not. Mods are like MW2 perks. They don't seem to be that useful. Maybe there just aren't enough for me to find ones that suit my play style. Even though on one of the screens it says the level cap is 15, it only goes up to 10. I wish there was a way to tell what Power Ups other players have. I didn't notice if there was or wasn't =x

I like the game, but i don't know if i'll buy it or not, I want to see what Split/Second has to offer =t
