Burnout: Revenge Review

This was a good game. But sadly, it greatly reminded me of Burnout 3: Takedown. They havent ca,e up with many new features in the Burnout series in a while. They like to keep things old-school i guess. It would be nice if Burnout could have a car-customization feature because in racing games, not being able to cusomize your vehicle is one of my biggest pet-peeves.

BURNOUT REVENGE Honest Review

Despite the greatness of Burnout 3's no-nonsense arcade crashfest racing, Burnout Revenge one-ups its critically-acclaimed predecessor by introducing a single new mechanic that renders past installments of the series all but obsolete. That wondrous new addition is the ability to smash your way through races by using smaller vehicles moving in the same direction as yourself like a battering ram to push your way through obstacles, larger vehicles like tankers and delivery vans, and yes; rival cars. This new feature really does revolutionize the game and fits in perfectly with the awesome control scheme from Burnout 3. As a result, the race events of all stripes are fast-paced and addicting beyond belief. It's pure digital crack that hooks you on your first hit, regardless of your affinity or affection for the racing genre as a whole. The crash events, unfortunately, are even more constricting this time around. Crash events are one-shot events where you guide a single car like a missile at oncoming traffic to cause as much mayhem as possible. Sadly, what should be a thrilling game of explosive dominos plays more like a puzzle mode, thanks to the higher medals requiring a precise path to reach their target damage levels. Despite this, crash events still serve as fun diversions from the twitch-based racing circuits, but allowing players more leeway in creating their own scenes of carnage would be much appreciated in future installments. This game overall, just doesnt quite stack up to #3.

THE BEST RACING GAME EVER!!!

HOLY CRAP, i just got this game for my birthday cuz my cousin recommened it to me. I thought that it would be a good party game, crashing my friends would be fun, then i put it in my xbox and WOW. my hands were glued to the controller, i played it all night , then i rember waking up and see my car slowly coasting the track, so i pick up the controller and play. i dont care what anybody has to say, no racing game can ever top this. (it blows GT4 out of the f#@$ing water)

burnout=not so good

burnout revenge doesn't seem to bring any new exciting features to the series. It may have a little improvment in the graphics dep. But, other than that it seems the same as the last two installments. my personal opinion is that the racing mode is the most fun part of the entire game. driving people into the walls is good fun but i wasn't impressed with the overall game. i wouldn't say that this is a must buy.

Burnout, Burned out

I'm not exactly a Burnout addict, but I don't see how it's so much better than all the other Burnout games before it, besides the mode where you try to cause the most destruction as possible. You could easily do this in the other games by turning up the traffic as much as possible, go to an intersection, and pray that you rammed into something. Even my little brother who's 9 thought it was a disappointment. Also, while I played, I experienced first hand that it's almost impossible to ram your fellow racers into a wall, clip them, or even make them lose even slight control of their vehicle. (Please excuse me if i make some inacurate assumtions)
