Yes it is, if you like Burnout, you'll love Need For Speed

That's what I need to hear. I've been into Burnout Paradise on the PS3 for a while now, but I'd love the option to take cars off the road, as I get endlessly frustrated while I'm racing in Burnout and I hit a car that I can't see coming from around a curve, and it ends up costing me a race.

But what exactly is it about NFS that makes it so much better than Burnout?

The last time I played NFS: Hot Pursuit it was for PC and I absolutely loved it. Never played it on the PS3 before but I'm thinking about buying it if I see a decent price for it eventually. (I remember buying Assassins Creed 2 for PS3 for 36.99 off a Amazon.com deal back when it was still 59.99 regular price)

It was 39.99 at Gamestop this past weekend.

Ouch. Too bad I'm still jobless and have higher priorities, otherwise I'dve bought it. I can wait though, I'm not in any rush. Video games are pretty low on my list of priorities at this point. And I didn't know NFS was made by Criterion, but you are right that does help.

It's made by the same people who made Burnout, so that helps.
