    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]

    This is one of the fastest, most intense racing games we’ve played on any system and makes rival games look absolutely sedate by comparison.

    The most pulsating, nut-chafing, wind-in-the-hair experiences that can be prised from a game console. [GamesMaster]

    One of the best racing games i've played yet. Great graphics, great cars, could have been more. Also one excellent feature in the game is crashing. WICKED … Expand

    This game is pretty good. The graphics were amazing for a 2002 release and the game play was pretty exciting as well. One of my personal favorites was the police mode; this kept me wanting to play this game for hours on end while not getting bored with it. There are some issues I have with it however. One thing is the lack of a story line, I know that its not a big part of the burnout series, but it would have been nice to see one. Another is the lack of cars; it would have been good to add just a little more to the lineup.… Expand

    very good and addictive but when you've been on Burnout 3 you'll leave this game on not play on it again.

    This is a Need For Speed copy cat.
