Advantages: Brilliant, lots of game modes, good graphics, different

Disadvantages: See review

Burnout Revenge is the fourth game in the successful Burnout racing series which is more about having fun and crashing than games like Gran Turismo which are more serious. I am reviewing the PS2 version from Criterion.

Your main job is to become the best Burnout driver in World Tour mode. You do this by completing many different race types and get rated according to your performance. Modes include standard races, game modes like road rage where you have to take out a certain amount of rival racers, crash which is mentioned lower down and eliminator where the player in last place at a certain time will be eliminated from the race which keeps it exciting!

You can now also check traffic which is basically shunting cars into other lanes in front of obstacles so they crash! This is a new addition and makes the game more fun in nearly all games modes and even standard races. You can also now get rivals if they take you down a certain amount of times e.t.c which just improves this brilliant game.

MY FAVOURITE GAME MODE CRASH

Crash is my favourite mode on this game and what makes it so fun for me. The aim is to crash your car in the busiest part of the junction to cause maximum mayhem and damage! If you get enough points you are even allowed to detonate your car and car control it flying through the air to hit other cars! This mode is so much fun and different from all other racing games before!

GRAPHICS

The graphics are really good for the time and the cars are very detailed. The explosions and crashes look very realistic and it all looks very good!

SOUND

The sound for the special effects is really good and convincing like going along at high speeds, the engine revving and explosions but things like the game music are not so good.

TRACKS

There are many good tracks on this game which are based on real locations. You will spot the Colosseum, areas with beautiful beaches and cities with skyscrapers and neon lights.

OVERALL

This is a really good game with so many high quality game modes to keep it interesting and unique to other racing games on the market. The graphics are really good to for the time and the tracks are also brilliant. The Crash mode will alone keep you and your friends busy for hours and hours and I challenge people to not enjoy Burnout Revenge!
