If you have seen my review of the prequel of this game, Burnout 3 then you would have seen that I had written that the Burnout Series was on a downwards spiral from that moment forwards. Well with Burnout Revenge the Burnout series becomes even more dumbed down than before with the idiotic introduction of "traffic checking". Look EA, if I want to do checking of any sort I'll just buy one of your NHL games. But don't introduce it into a game that you have already bastardised to the point that it is unrecognisable from its pure form in Burnout 2. So, "what is traffic checking?", you may ask. Well you know how on the previous ...  Read the complete review

A lot of the success of the Burnout series can be attributed to the fact that they know that a lot of gamers, especially those who were perhaps turned off by the comprehensive approach of the Gran Turismo series, just want to smash into things and see the awesome damage (something the GT series discouraged). Burnout Revenge delivers enough smashes to satisfy any gamer, whilst also having enough races for those who want a straight up blast through a varied number of terrains. Visually, this gets the balance right between realistic and cartoony - it is over the top, with sparks flying under your car and cars being crumpled into absurd shapes when they collide ...  Read the complete review

The burnout series is about hardcore, exciting and what I would call typical arcade style racing. Burnout Revnge, the fourth game in the series didn't let itself down, and was an awesome game to play! The overview of the game is that you have to complete different events to get star ratings and the more stars you have the more events you can play. There are ten ranks to the game to unlock each with different tracks and events. As for the gameplay, you have the standard racing controls, so it's easy to use, understand and adds to the "Pick up and Play factor." The controls are responsive, very suitable and I would say one of the best racing ...  Read the complete review

Numerous racing games have found their home on the Playstation 2. There is the constantly reliable Gran Turismo series that is widely seen to be the best accurate driving simulation on the PS2 and one of the most realistic. The Need for Speed Underground series has attempted to corner the market with an emphasis on urban sub-culture and the joys of possibly turning that lovely little Vauxhall Nova into something that would resemble a proper car and doesn’t drive like a wedge of cheese with wheels. Between the very realistic simulation experience and the ‘Pimp my ride’ style games (minus Xzibit), there is a little EA franchise called the Burnout series and its fourth ...  Read the complete review
