5.0 out of 5 stars The best racer on Gamecube., April 12, 2003

Let me start by saying that this is the best racing game on Gamecube. Much liek the original Burnout, you race through traffic at insanely high speeds. This time, getting boosts is easier, so the game is more enjoyable. If you played this game on PS2, you will know what to expect, and everything is perfectly in tact. The game is faster than Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, but also more enjoyable.

Unlike the first game, Burnout 2 has tons of modes for you to play in. There is the crash mode, where you try and cause the most damage. There are lots more races, a better selection of cars, and the option to play as cops. The game does get hard, but not to the point of frustration. The graphics are phenomenal, without any slowdown. Crashes are once again awesome.
If you own a Gamecube, you must buy this game.

This review is from: Burnout 2: Point of Impact (Video Game)

On game console, I generally like racing and mild multiplayer fighting (like Super Smash Brothers Melee). This game is great. As you may tire of hearing, the "physics" are right on -- you feel like you are really driving a car. The rumble in the controller adds some, but that could have been better. The audio is very good. When you honk your own horn, it sounds different in the open and in a tunnel. The number of tracks is great. The graphics are fast and clear.

You start out taking a driving lesson. This is a worthwhile requirement. If you read the on-screen directions, it will help you in later races.

The crash courses are great. You try to do as much damage in a single accident as possible. Kids love this and adults do, too!

Probably will not be replace by any other race software (except Burnout 3!), even Mario Kart Double Dash (which is different enough that we will probably get that, if only because we liked Mario Kart so much).

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Racing Game for Gamecube, April 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Burnout 2: Point of Impact (Video Game)

I myself played the first Burnout game and was somewhat pleased. However, it lacked gameplay modes and was quite hard to race, because the timer would run out too quickly. Burnout 2, on the other hand, takes full advantage of Gamecube and delivers the best, crisp graphics, fluid smooth speed, and is just genuine fun. There are many modes to play in, each is easy enough for the beginner, yet still challenging for the expert. Great for all ages, this racer for Gamecube is a must.
