If there was a Hall of Fame for all time bad racers Crash N'Burn would make the top 10 with ease.

The AI cars are brain dead, the collision detection very suspect and the audio is abysmal. The cars don't exactly convince the eye that they are lumps of metal smashing into each other, all they do is convince the eye that they are lo quality computer graphics.

It's a fact that I like crash racing games. So that's why I wanted to give it a try. I was pretty sure it wouldn't be as good as Burnout 3, but thought it would still be fun. So I went ahead and rented it and turns out this game is awful. The graphics, crashes, speed, and fun pale n comparison to Burnout 3. I have very few positive things to say about it. The customization is cool and I like the detail in the environments. Other than that though, this game is just awful. What's so bad about it?

1. The cars. They look bland, not very detailed, and very similar to each other in races.

2. The commentary is almost muted, repetitve, and annoying.

3. The crashes look bad. Especially in the beinning of races when the cars are rubbing on each other. It's just silly.

4. Lack of fun. The races are way too short, too repetitve, too easy, and just plain boring.

5. The soundtrack is weak.

6. Overall presentation is pathetic. Nothing looks great, menu design is pretty bad and hard to navigate as well.

7. One minor incident can cost you a race. And if you want to restart in a series, you have to start over the whole series. Not good.

Believe me. The are a lot more negatives. I don't even know why this game was even made. It's just awful.

look, when i got this game for playstation2 i couldent stop playing it!i played for a week stright and i think it's awsome! maby the graphics are a little off but its details are nice. i liked when you were able to desige your own car... they did all look the same but its fun crashing and smashing the cars. i dont really pay attention to the same car design thing much =P. plus theres 4 different shapes... a coup truck musle car and sport car so you do get to change color, put decals, and put like spoilers and differt hoods and everything, rims, and side skirts. anyway i really think this game is awsome. buy it, you wont regreat it.

I bought this for my son and he loves this game-is very happy with it.
