That magic ball pack, is it the game or is its hiding somewhere else in the psn and that just adds more content?

Edit never mind i found the game, feel like an idiot now.

Is that the add-on that adds the third set of levels that were missing from the original game?

I have magic ball but not the new dlc is it worth it?

I'd like to know as well, is it as hard and annoying as the original levels where success largely depends on getting the steel ball early on?

Yeah, they did. I bought it too. Shame I haven't played more of it!! Really frustrates the hell out of me when you spend like 30mins gameplay getting a high score only for the timer to run down before you reach the required spectra and end up getting absolutely nothing! Thats what put me off the game originally!

In January there was some tweaks that made the game "easier" I did not play it as I was waiting for the extra levels (encore). But this is the 2nd gameplay patch not the 1st.

I think in the January one they made it so timers last longer and you get continues or something when you die.

Anyway bought Encore, late last night, and was browsing XMB whilst the game was on the title screen and it crashed

Unless there is something wrong with my 60GB PS3 that is like the 4th or 5th game in the last 6 months that I recall that sometimes crashes at the XMB

I had two lockups with Burnout Paradise when browsing the XMB ingame on the 60GB PS3

It's 24 extra levels and i'm sorry to say it's more of the same, still hard to do and depends a lot on the powerups.

ps3ud0 · 23 Apr 2009 at 17:24

They were meant to be sold as a complete collection though AFAIK - or have I made that up

. Less excuse me not buying one I dont want and more chance me justifying the cost for effectively rubbish

30th was/is the USA date. I will assume we get it the same day (probably earlier if it will be in the PSN update as we will get it 5ish hours quicker).

I generally see the UK one at 5PM latest and usually USA one is about 10PM UK time (although sometimes it is delayed 1 hour).
