90One of those rare arcade racers that comes along every now and then and will tear you away from “real racing” games that you said you would never stop playing.
-
The framerate is as smooth as it gets as 60 fps. It gets cut in half for the split screen mode but still looks great.
-
88The fastest, tightest racer on the GameCube to date.
-
90Visually, the game’s a stunner—cars look great thanks to a high polygon count, and when they crash, parts fly absolutely everywhere.
-
100The way a sequel should be: stuffed full of new features, better graphics, improved game play, and be so damn addicting that you can not put it down, even to go to the bathroom.
-
Perfectly calibrated controls, realistic graphics and an incredible sense of speed and danger make Burnout 2: Point of Impact the most satisfying driving experience on the GCN. [June 2003, p.137]
-
In terms of flat out fun and speed, not much can touch Burnout 2: Point of Impact.
-
A blast to play, even for those who are not big fans of racing games. It's easy to pick up and play, and the variety of modes and tracks keeps things interesting for a long time.
-
91This game came out of left field, but it smacked a grand slam right out of the ballpark!
-
Full of options and it plays like a dream, but even if you're not playing you'll be impressed.
-
About as perfect as an arcade racing game can be.
-
95I had and am still having a lot of fun with the first Burnout, and Burnout 2 is better in every way.
-
96Combines tight control and frantic game play with stunning audio/visuals that scream next-generation from start to finish.
-
The best arcade racing experience available on the GameCube. If your a fan of the first than this is a must buy.
-
100Everything about it is totally right: The A.I. is brilliant, the graphics are hot, and the game modes are fresh and original. [June 2003, p.40]
-
There's no story line, but Burnout 2 is one of those games that's actually better for the lack of it. [28 July 2003, p.82]
-
No shabby port from the PS2, this version actually contains more than the PS2 version.
