Okay, the Burnout title may be getting a little old and maybe feeling like it is at it's maximum capacity of fun. I would call Revenge the last of it's kind as E3's Burnout Paradise will not be the same but none the less great. There are events - as there are in all Burnout games - in which you unlock as you progress through the game. Races are, surprisingly enough, not the main aspect of the game. All the modes are spread out to generate an all in one feeling. The best mode in this game is Road Rage, you have to smash out all the enemy cars before time runs out and is a blast to play. Crash mode is fun for some but if you are a Burnout on the elite rank like me, you are trying to perfect everything. Whenever, in crash mode, you time something wrong you must restart it. I have done this so many times, it is unbelievable. It may be frustrating for a few trying to perfect all events. In races if you crash at the end right before you are going to win and come in sixth place this may result in a scream to the television. The controls are solid and responsive and aftertouch is very handy =) Online mutliplayer is brutal and addictive to get your world rank to the top. Burnout has that feature that is spreading throughout video games wich is clips. You can record any moment in an event and share it with your friends! The intensity is what it boils down to with this game. I highly recommend this Burnout title for recreational players who don't need to have a perfect score on every event they play. This one may be a fun, but frustrating experience for hardcore players but overall, I recommend it for anyone. This leads to my score of 8.8/10

The Best Racer Just Keeps Getting Better

I am a bit annoyed that so many of the titles seem to be lazy ports from other platforms.

This game changed my mind on that. It is clearly a port, but they seemed to actually put some care into it and have managed to keep this as one of the most fun, pure adrenaline driving games on the market.

It is absolutely gorgeous. It is lightning-fast. It runs magnificently. It is the greatest arcade racing game I've ever played. The crash mode might be the most fun you can have in a racing game. Traffic check is outstanding. I loved the XBox version --- and this is a real step up from that one. I cannot find a single negative thing to say about the game, save that it is a port and not COMPLETELY different than the XBox or PS2 versions.

If you have a 360 and don't have this, then shame on you. We have a few more month until the next one arrives so give this one another whirl and re-experience the greatness of this franchise.

Best Burnout Game Yet. A great 360 title.

If you like Burnout games (specifically the more recent ones) you're going to like this one. Whether or not you pay full price for it is up to you. I was hesitant because of the lack of change in gameplay from the previous Burnouts. I understand that a fun and unique formula like Burnout's should never be completely changed but some more extras in the game would have been appreciated. Don't get me wrong though this game has more cars, better crashes, and better levels than any Burnout game that has come out. The graphics on the 360 are beautiful and you'll cringe as you see the different pieces of you car fly away behind you as you ram someone into a cement pillar at 150mph. Each game of this series has had more intense gameplay than the last and I found myself often needing a break to take a breather from gripping my controller so hard, so I would recommend it to only those with racing game (especially Burnout) experience.
