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.

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.

An arcade racer with tight controls and graphics, plays great and a blast to watch.

A colorful and stylish game that is blisteringly quick – if a bit technically dated. [June 2002, p.76]

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.

While lacking in substance – primarily cars – Burnout excels in delivering edge of your seat racing. [June 2002, p.83]

A dedicated gamer can beat Burnout in a weekend's time, so only purchase it if you're planning on enjoying the well-done two-player mode and unlocking the extra goodies like the extra vehicles.

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

If it's depth you want you'll be disappointed, but if you want to lose yourself in a high-speed car chase or force your buddies into a head-on, this one's for you.

The crashes are a great gimmick, but after the first couple of hours the replays become more of a nuisance than a positive effect.
