100It's fast, it's addicting, and it's got Live support. You simply cannot go wrong with this title, and this one is truly the best version.
-
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]
-
96I am completely stunned at how much playtime this game has.
-
95I absolutely love this game.
-
An exhilarating and addicting arcade racing experience wrapped in some great looking graphics.
-
93From the adrenaline-inducing races to the exhilarating crashes, Burnout 2 is a title that you won't be able to put down until everything is unlocked.
-
93This is the best damn racing game this side of "Gran Turismo."
-
92One of the most exciting and intense racers to date. The speed, action, and crashes are so amazing that its mind-boggling.
-
In terms of pure adrenaline and graphical splendor, there isn't a racer out there that can stack up against Burnout 2. [June-July 2003, p.88]
-
It looks a hell of a lot better, runs smoother and feels faster. So theres no confusion here then: this is not a straight port. Got that? Good.
-
What makes the crashing so addictive is the visual, visceral spectacle of the fully deformable vehicles piling into each other, catching air, rolling, and spinning across the highway. [July 2003, p.82]
-
90Although the PlayStation 2 and GameCube versions of the sequel have been available for some time, the Xbox version nudges ahead of the other two as the best looking of the bunch.
-
Hell-bent on destruction psycho drivers finally get a game to meet their rubbernecking tendencies full throttle.
-
89One of the best arcade racing games I've played.
-
86The speed is amazing and the crashes are phenomenal. I'll never give up my Crash mode. It's too much fun.
-
86The crash mode alone makes this game worth seeing, and the inclusion of the well-done championship and multiplayer modes makes it the best pure arcade-style racing game available on the Xbox.
-
A title you should check out. [June 2003, p.113]
-
85It is an arcade racer at heart but a frantic, action packed, total-your-car racer in every other light and it makes its way to Xbox owners sporting improved crash physics, improved AI, more speed, new game modes and custom soundtracks.
-
Xboxers luck out with the most polished Burnout yet, and a handful of thoughtful tweaks will inspire envy in PS2 and GC vets. [July 2003, p.121]
-
80Any game that has you physically dodging oncoming cars from your television is no ordinary game.
-
If you want to play against a friend there is a two-player mode but if you want to really squeeze all the fun from this game, hog it and play against the AI. Having no friends has never been so much fun.
-
Visually, Criterion has gone completely mad, shoehorning entire cities, airports, and back roads into full view. [June 2003, p.66]
-
70Offers very little above the original Playstation 2 version.
