Is there any other game that's similar to Burnout on the PS3? Is the driving in GT4 and Midnight Club: Los Angeles decent?

I also need to pick up that Formula 1 PS3 game, the demo for it is fantastic.

I like the realistic driving games so I am waiting for GT5.
Although I realize they take some getting used to after play games like Burnout.
Burnout Paradise is cool, but there are a few things that really annoy me about it.
The navigation sucks so it's really hard to follow a route by the map.
The open environment is cool but having to drive to every event or the junk yard gets boring after a while, there should be a way to jump to an event if you want to.
Worst of all, there is no option to change the controller configuration so you are stuck with the default controls, like them or not.
