Burnout Revenge is a racing title from Criterion games for the Playstation 2

This game has you take on the world to become the best Burnout driver in its World Tour mode! The game has no story but it isn't really a problem, the game play is compelling enough to take you through to the end.

Unlike Burnout Takedown you won't pick from a list of continents, just a list of racing events which will cover a wide variety of race types. The game has many different race types for you to choose from, the standard single player races where you race against your rivals and have to come first to win, tournaments where you earn points and must get the highest score to win, eliminator events where last place will see you eliminated and road rage where you must take down as many people as you can before you are destroyed.

There is also the iconic crash mode which sets up a crash junction for you and leaves you with the task of causing maximum mayhem and destruction, this mode is always a laugh and really enjoyable to play as you rack up a high score.

The new features of the game really shake up how the game is played; you can now traffic check (slam into them and send them flying) other cars which makes you nearly unstoppable! Nothing short of an oncoming bus or van will stop you and you can even take your rivals down with the cars you send flying. If you are taken out in addition to the after touch takedown move you can perform an explosive payback which if timed right can take out all your rival racers! You also get Revenge rivals which appear when you are taken down a number of times by an opponent and you must settle the score by taking them out!

Graphically Burnout Revenge takes things to the next level, cars are more destructible now and the sense of speed is amazing.

If you want a fast paced arcade racing game few games come close to the quality and fun of Burnout Revenge.

Summary: Superb racing game
