I couldn’t wait to get this game after playing Burnout Revenge and loving it. What Happen To The Crashing? What happen to the crash events? The only reason I purchased this game is because of the crashes, not to see myself crash; to crash other racers and traffic into them. The Road Rage events in Burnout Revenge where excellent fun and being able to crash traffic into your opponents was just brilliant, but not in this “new” Burnout Game.

Criterion changed the whole game setup from the way EA created it and it reminds me of a Need For Speed series instead of a Burnout Series. I say they made a big mistake and I really want to return the game for my money back. To be fair the game does have some cool features like the Driver License which you earn as you beat “races” and the new muscle cars are sweet, the graphics are better, but where are the crashes, where is the traffic jam crashes? The game play is lacking!

I can’t believe they changed the game so much when the only change needed was better graphics, cool new cars, and tracks. That is all they had to do to make the award winning Burnout Revenge better, but no. Criterion had go and change the whole damn game and what a mistake they’ve made.

I don’t know of any good reason to recommend this game so just rent it to see if you like it before buying. I recommend Criterion studies to make a new Burnout Revenge or let EA make it again. Leave the “racing” games to Need For Speed or Gotham City Racing.

Sorry Criterion (the makers of Burnout Paradise, Electronic Arts made Burnout Revenge) I was disappointed with this game big time.
