5.0 out of 5 stars Great Car-Smashing Fun!, March 18, 2006

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Burnout Revenge (Video Game)

Most racing games have you trying to dodge crashes and hitting your opponents. In Burnout Revenge, your entire goal is to create as much mayhem as possible.

We have every racing game for the XBox 360 and really love this genre. I have to admit that the first few times playing Burnout Revenge that I found it VERY hard to "hit" the cars. I would naturally dodge them. Even when I said to myself "hit them! hit them!" my fingers would zoom around them. I finally broke that habit and was able to mash them with great glee.

The graphics are really quite amazing. The car model is great of course - they have really gotten that down on the XBox 360. But more than that - your car deforms in a TON of ways. The paint scrapes off. The sides dent in. It all has to do with how you damage yourself. Cars get sheared in half, tires fly off, you name it.

There are a number of game types. There are races where you bash as you go. There are crash situations where you launch yourself into traffic and see how much destruction you can make. Other cars on the highway are fair game; bash them and watch them fly. Boost yourself to faster speeds. You develop relationships with other drivers - there will be certain cars that are out for revenge. There are grand prix matches of multi races.


Each course has its own distinct feel. These aren't closed tracks - you are driving through the streets of LA, Miami, Tokyo and other areas. You get palm trees and shiny office buildings, all depending on the area you're in. There are helicopters flying overhead and a ton of car models.

The music is reaosnably good, a collection of fast-paced modern music. I would have loved it if you could choose from different music styles as well, but you can't have everything.

There's a ton of replay value here - you go back to get the top ranking in every course, aiming for those perfect scores. Since you unlock some really cool cars as you go, it can really help out to take one of the later, super cars back to the early tracks.

The LIVE feature is really neat, too. Not only can you bash other players online, but you can even record your favorite crashes and load them up. It might be voted one of the top 20 best!

If I had any complaints about this game, it would be the "look back" the game does every time you slay an enemy. Since your car is still moving very quickly, it's sometimes really tough, if you're about to hit a wall or something, to have that look away and look back happen. Also, I don't like the camera angle in general. It is very low and right against the car. I like an angle that is higher up and further back. I realize some players like both of these features as is, so I wish they would have options for a player to change these 2 items.

Still, those are minor complaints in a game that is a ton of fun. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, fun, fun 'til Daddy takes the TNT-bird away!, March 14, 2006

This review is from: Burnout Revenge (Video Game)

While I am not a racing purist, I enjoy the playing most racing games on the Xbox and PS2 and, as of just over a week after this product launched, I am 87% of the way through this game (I've completed the game, but have yet to "perfect" every race).

This game features a beautiful new remake of the graphics engine specifically for the Xbox 360 and 10 more crash junctions than Burnout Revenge for the original Xbox console, but a graphics handful of additional single-player levels is not the reason to buy this game. EA has added some serious "Next Gen" features to this version of Burnout Revenge, including "Live Revenge" and "Save and Share." The former keeps track of all of the players that take you out online. When you meet up with one of these rivals again, they'll be highlighted just before you begin a race with them. Likewise, if you've taken out someone who is in the current race, you'll see that they're "gunning for you." This significantly ups the ante for playing online and creates an incredible adrenaline rush as you must either dodge an attempt for payback or seek out your arch enemies for revenge. Likewise, the Save and Share feature allows you to record up to 30 seconds of your single-player races and forward them to the people on your Xbox Live friends list. These friends can download and watch the clips while they have the Burnout Revenge disc in their 360.

But when it comes right down to it, Burnout Revenge is all about destruction. EA has improved all of the facets of what makes the "Burnout" series so exciting, and pumped it into a great title for the Xbox 360. This isn't just a "better" version of Burnout Revenge for the original Xbox, this is a title designed for the best gaming platform currently available. If you already own the original Xbox title, you might buy this version if you really enjoy playing online (because of the new "Live Revenge" feature), or want to send clips of your biggest and baddest crashes to other 360 users.

The average racer will spend about 25 hours just completing all of the races. But to earn all of the achievements, you'll be playing much longer. You must earn a 5-star rating on each and every race to obtain 100% completion, and a number of achievements require that you perfect each category of race. Also, there are almost a dozen achievements (245 of the 1000 gamerscore) that can only be earned online.

Finally, there are 79 cars to unlock, which can be earned by obtaining a medal in certain races, performing "signature" takedowns in different parts of each map, and completing the challenge sheet of each level.

In short, this game will keep you busy! The variety of racing, crashes and traffic attack modes provide much more entertainment value than a normal racing title and the incredible work put into the 360-exclusive features make Burnout Revenge an excellent game to add to your "Next Gen" collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars one of my favorites..., April 10, 2009

This review is from: Burnout Revenge (Video Game)

If you want to let off some steam with some OFFENSIVE driving, this is a great game. But I'm posting this mostly to warn you that it looks like this title no longer supports online play. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but for the last several months I've been getting nothing but the "could not connect to EA servers, try again later" message.

Single-player is *still* a lot of fun, and I still like this game more than Burnout Paradise. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I *like* the ability to "check" traffic without crashing in a race. In Burnout Paradise, you can "check" another racer, but if you brush up against any other traffic, you crash. Feh.

Also, "crash" mode is beeg silly fun. You get a preview of an optimal route to leave the biggest traffic pileup in your wake, and then you get a chance to try to make it happen. And if you're at least moderately successful, you will be rewarded with the ability to trigger an explosion of your car and use "aftertouch" to steer your airborn wreckage into the path of even more oncoming traffic, all while being cheered on by an unseen crowd: "We want more! We want more!"

Okay, so it's not the most *realistic* racing simulation game. But I don't want a realistic racing simulation. I don't want to crash and then be in the hospital for 3 months. No, I want to CAUSE crashes, and then be rewarded for it.

This is a big fun game. Even if EA has killed off the multiplayer part of it. But, you know, just factor that in to your buying decision, with this game or ANY game: the availability of online multiplayer functionality is not necessarily FOREVER... or even four years.
