Burnout: Revenge Description
Just think… incredibly enough, some gamers, somewhere will not have been exposed to Burnout Revenge on its previous release. Players whose first and only console was a 360 (are there really such beings!?) have waited for around four months to get involved, and can now get their mitts on the brute. What have they been missing? Blimey, where to start? Manna from heaven for those not sated by the Electronic Arts-ified Burnout Takedown from 2004, Revenge restates the case for BO's claim as the most insanely quick racing series. Truth told, in the initial gameplay, there's not a great deal of difference between Takedown and Revenge; even as far as an hour into the single-player game, the uptempo sounds of popular beat combos Yellowcard, Bloc Party and Dead 60s are the sole pointer as to the game's release date, what with EA being all up to date and hip to all the best new driving music. Ahem. Oh, the Revenge motif that keeps cropping up too - that's a giveaway. So, after an hour, we've made a hi-definition dent in more than a few shiny cars, and only a 3% impression in the game as a whole. We're no maths geniuses, but we reckon that could mean around 35-40 hours of solo gameplay, depending on how well you progress and whether you're satisfied with a merely 'good' performance and a bronze medal in any given event. Race events are plentiful: Race is as simple as it gets, as you take down rivals in a no-holds barred rampage to the finishing line; Traffic Attack invites you to beat time targets as you race through busy thoroughfares; Burning Lap is a beat the clock event; Road Rage gives you a time limit and a remit to take out as many rivals as possible; Eliminator is a last-man-standing event; Preview is a quick test drive of some ridiculously fast vehicles against the clock; and GP Race is a multi-race battle, the fastest of the lot. Through Xbox Live, the 'brand-new-for-360' Live Revenge feature tracks your rivals and calls out those that need some serious payback. Build up relationships with gamers that you take out, or take you down, and then let Live Revenge recall them and tell you how they are literally rubbing you up the wrong way. Burnout Revenge is about long memories and short tempers, especially on 360. Crash events are preceded by a fly-by crash-camera sequence from which you can plan a trail of destruction to score the maximum of points, and are an interesting diversion from the main game at best. The second iteration of Burnout (Point of Impact) still features - in our opinion - the ultimate version of the Crash event. Still, there's hours of fun to be had in both solo and multi-player modes. There's a World Tour campaign to take on, with its own Crash and Race events. It's all a bit too reminiscent of Burnout Takedown to be an absolutely essential purchase for those who still have the 2004 game in their possession, but to the few gamers who have resisted the franchise so far - not to mention those weirdos who have a 360 and nothing else - Burnout Revenge should fly off the grid.Screenshots

| Burnout 4 is a cracker of a game. it may not be the most in-depth or intelligent of efforts, but o dear god is it fun to play. As a 1 player game it is good fun. Lots to unlock and plenty of modes to crack on through. Online is even better - mentalist mashing of all! great stuff. If you want serious then play PGR (which is also a cracker) - if you want mentalist eye peelingly quick crazy racing smashing others into red hot metal pizzas then this is your puppy. Truely a driving game which encourages (computer game) drink driving. | ||

| Overall this has to be one of the best games I’ve ever played. Visually the game is stunning, the upgraded high-definiton graphics really makes this game worth the extra fifty quid, but that’s not all. Online the game is a lot smoother, plus the whole community just has a real buzz to it unlike literally every other Xbox 360 game. Each and every sound that comes out of your speakers will blow you off your feet and by the time you’ve completed this game the Xbox 1440 will have been released. As soon as you have booted this game up and have started a race that will be it, you will realise that every other car game on the market is just so inferior. Did Criterion make the right choice when they flipped off Microsoft, of course they did, the new game is much more than just an Xbox port and I would most definitely recommend you get this game, no I demand you get this absolutely amazing game. | ||

| An absoluet classic Burnout 4 has come of the most realistic car damage ever even on the Xbox version but oddly the task in both versions seem to be easyer to complete than the PS2 version | ||

| I was hesitant about this game at first. After playing most of the older titles on my original Xbox, I was wondering if this title would just re-write history, and have no appeal to it. Was I wrong, or was I wrong, this is a fantastic game, yes it similar to the others, but with the welcome addition of superb graphics and speed, its a must have for all Burnout fans, and all alike. Its was so good after playing this for a few hours, I went out and bought a copy, as I know I will be coming back to this title time after time. | ||

| While not exspecting this new addition of the burnout series to be anything other than another sequal, i was wrongly mistaked. My first impressions is that it looks and runs great and like all 360 games you really need a HD TV to see how nice it looks. Single player seems to start of extreamly easy then starts to get more challenging once your rank up the levels. Single player offers a ranges of games the main ones been burning laps, crash events and races and more. Although the single player is very solid the really begins on the multiplayer mode! The online races are very fun and quite crazy, with everyone trying to take each other down and also trying to come first with out crashing can be a real challage. Personaly i perfer this to Project Gothem 3 by far, as the single player mode is much more appearling and online play offers a much more fun and friendly gaming exsperance compaired to how serious some people play while playing PGR3. Overall a great game and one i would recommend renting although myself i feel this is a keeper! | ||

| I am sorry but you are obviously called moose for a reason - what a game! Only once before have I witnessed my girlfriend feel so compelled to cause utter mayhem and destruction… “Your friend is pretty, she can stay over”… Then there is this game – The graphics are splendid, the game play is addictive and its sociable - get back to the old days, invite a few mates over, crack open a few beers and see who can cause the greatest crash – good clean fun! | ||

| I was a bit sceptical of this game, having not really enjoyed previous versions, but boy was i wrong to doubt this. In HD this game excells, the beauty of the tracks really shining out. Then the gameplay, smooth, fast, and above all great fun. Definatly worth a few hours of your time, even if it is just the online crash mode that you play. And that is a scream!!! | ||

| I felt this game was a real let down. The grahics are what can be expected from the 360 but as far as gameplay goes, well the rating tells it all | ||
