  • Summary: Burnout brings high-energy, arcade-style street racing to your gaming console. Drive more than 300 realistic vehicles, and then crash them in spectacular, slow-motion fashion. Burnout monitors your driver's heart rate: You're rewarded for near-misses and the more risks you take. Cruise the United States and Europe on 14 awesome, traffic-filled courses, through cities and into the countryside. Instant replays allow you to relive your handiwork from multiple angles, in all of its cringe-inducing, metal-bashing glory.… Expand

    There will be times when you get so frustrated you'll throw the controller down in frustration, but 5 minutes later you're picking it back because the game is not only challenging, but fun.

    You will not believe how exciting this game is. Burnout features the kind of on-the-edge-of-your-seat action that made movies like "Speed" a success.

    This is a fantastic game and is worth buying, but don’t be surprised when it burns out of replay value a month down the line.

    There's enough meat on Burnout's bones to provide an engaging, albeit unoriginal, take on arcade racing.

    Pure arcade fun. Not too complicated. A few flaws are present but nothing serious. Great game for those of us who just want to drive way to fast in traffic. Love the crashes!!!!… Expand

    Does not come close to Gran Turismo 3 in detail. The crashes while cool at first get old quick and take too long to play out. Would have been a good game on a PS about 3 years ago. Today it's cliche and lacking. I don't see why anyone would buy this over Gotham Racing or GT3 if ya have a ps2.… Expand
