    Traffic checking was a weak gimmick, and I'm glad it's gone. Dominator gives a nod to where it all started with Burnout 1 and 2, however, I still prefer those two to this one. The graphics are certainly nice, but the blur effect is overused, and the racing still leans a bit too much toward rubbing against guard-rails. Still, a good game though.

    The 360 version of Revenge has spoiled me forever. What's the deal with not being able to check traffic in Dominator? A very rude surprise indeed, the first time I tried a traffic-check takedown. Dominator will probably be welcomed by those without a next-gen console, but everyone else should wait for Burnout 5.

    From Burnout to Burnout 2, from Burnout 2 to Burnout Revenge, from Burnout Revenge to nothing. Burnout Dominator, its no sequel, its a single swashbuckling thrill of an adventure, tricky, witty, entertaining, renewed style of the worse. Its a game that the PS2 will enchant.

    This game brings a lot of the fun you usually expect from a member of the Burnout series, but is seriously lacking in a lot of respects. My main gripe is with the learning curve, which is fine for the first half of the main mode. Unfortunately towards the end of the game the challenges get terribly frustrating. It feels like because they only got round to producing 5/6 tracks they had to stretch the game out by giving incredibly difficult challenges. Expand

  1. Another cracking Burnout. It isn't for the weak-hearted because of the difficulty at later levels, but when it shines, oh boy, it dazzles. [Mar 2007, p.96]

    Best thought of as a "Greatest Hits, but Not All of Them" from the Burnout series. The racing is just as adrenaline pumping as it's ever been...However, the lack of standard features and modes like online play and Crash are a rather big disappointment.

    Even with the lack of a Crash mode and no online play, Burnout Dominator is a wise investment, even for the Burnout first-timer, especially with a $40 price tag.
