Burnout Revenge for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I truly wanted to like this game, I really did. Having played the series on the PS2, then playing Burnout Paradise on the 360, this was the one title that I missed, so better late than never--Is what I'd usually think.

Don't get me wrong--this is NOT a bad game, it's just a bit on the lean side as far as I'm concerned. Paradise is a free-roaming, DLC-ladened festival of crashing and racing, and the car models are just plain pretty. I felt as if this game went a completely generic route, as I didn't get that same feeling at all. To begin, the first race was simply ramming a bunch of cars just to fill your time gauge until you progressively score high enough to obtain a medal ranking. At least with Burnout 2 on the original XBox, they had that wonderful crash mode which pretty much made that game awesome.

Overall, this feels like pretty much a standard racer, save for the takedowns of all sorts. It just felt like a monotonous chore after a while, and I quickly grew tired of it.

Oh, and don't get me started on the achievements. I prefer games that have you do odd and interesting things to obtain achievements, and even if they are the repetitive kind, at least the journey is fun. Not so much with this one, as it's more of the same thing, but just having you try and do it better. Sure, that fulfills the very definition of an achievement, but variety is more my spice.

If you're just looking for a straight-forward racer with some decent online play, this isn't a terrible find. On that note, with racers like Split/Second and Blur coming out soon, I'm pretty sure the online element as well as the single-player world tour will quickly lose it's luster in contrast.

Ok, I owned this game for original XBox before the 360 was released. This new, 360 HD version fixed out the few, minor bugs the original version had. Regardless, this game is absolutely fantastic.

Although the Burnout series is by no means new, this title is completely unlinke any other racing game there is. Each level has 1 of several different game modes.

The action is totally in-your-face, blazingly fast, and incredibly entertaining. Honestly, this was one of my top played games of all time for any system. The online play is fantastic as well!

While the AI can be lagging at some points, it does not detract from the game much, if at all.

This is a great game to add to your collection. I recommend AT LEAST a rental.

Pretty decent soundtrack too!

Burnout Paradise is nothing compared to Revenge. In fact, I gave Paradise a low rating!
