From a top-down perspective, players initiate crashes by driving 'cartoony' vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, vans, buses) into busy intersections; multiple crashes trigger score multipliers and rack up large 'bills' of property damage. Each level is accompanied by crashing sounds, small explosions, and vocal encouragement (e.g., 'Cool,' 'Maximum Carnage!'). In some levels, players are instructed to crash into police cars (e.g., 'Crash them before they bust you!'); in other sequences, oversized airplanes, tornados, lobster monsters, and UFOs slide across the screen, destroying any vehicles in their path.… Expand

    From its simple premise Crash! delivers plenty of fun to reproduce a simple childhood joy.

    If you can embrace Burnout Crash!'s design with open arms and wave the few annoyances away in the scope of a thousand retries, submit to the Autolog addiction with a bunch of friends, and devote yourself to hours upon hours of fighting for that high score, I can't recommend it enough. Still, Burnout Crash! can be entirely different things to different types of players.

    Burnout Crash is a proper multiplayer mode away from being most enjoyable downloadable title I've ever played.

    Well-integrated social features fuel the competitive kinetic chaos of Burnout Crash.

    Good for a quick burst of fun in the short term, but gamers looking for a test of skill would be better off playing Angry Birds. Yes, really. [Issue#115, p.98]

    It's not a completely disappointing experience, but I felt like too much of my time with Burnout Crash was spent almost having fun. In a way, that's almost more frustrating than if Criterion had whiffed it completely, since you can see the game that you'd want to play right in front of you, and yet it remains just out of reach.

    Give this throwaway a miss and pick up a five dollar copy of 2006's Burnout: Revenge instead.

    Overall it is a fun game with adequate replay value courtesy of the star system and EA's Autolog. This is obviously more valuable if you have friends with the game. However, as mentioned above, be sure those friends aren't in the same house with you. If they are, you won't be able to play with them at all (ignoring the odd Kinect-only-local-multiplayer mode).

    In summary, it's worth buying if you have lots of friends that aren't really that close.    … Expand

    Un petit jeu qui se concentre sur ce que le meilleur de Burnout peut donner : les accidents et les explosions ! et pour ne pas vous fourvoyerUn petit jeu qui se concentre sur ce que le meilleur de Burnout peut donner : les accidents et les explosions ! et pour ne pas vous fourvoyer dans ses intentions, Burnout Crash a rajouté un point d'exclamation ! on est passé ici à une vue aérienne qui permet de mieux appréhender le bordel ambiant qu'on se hâte de déclencher en ricanant devant ce déluge de carambolages et de destructions...

    C'est indéniablement drôle, facile à prendre en main, graphiquement assez mignon dans ses excentricités et globalement d'une débilité de haute volée qui lui vaudra incontestablement la place d'honneur au dîner du mercredi soir. Les 3 modes de jeu sont forcément très semblables et entraînent un effet de répétition non négligeable mais le plus ennuyeux concerne les objectifs dont la difficulté trop élevée finit par crisper.

    L'Autolog qui n'en finit pas de nous narguer -avec de concert la voix de l'animateur insupportable- est typique d'Electronic Arts et de ses Need For Speed ou autres... Burnout (Criterion appartient à EA, c'est comme ça...). La musique est tout aussi insupportable (une sorte de rock commercial pour jeunes étudiants de gauche). Heureusement, on peut fermer les claquos de tout ce petit monde via les options (et en jouant hors ligne).

    Pas mauvais, tantôt distrayant, tantôt énervant et souvent injuste, Burnout Crash! ne convainc pas sur le long terme malgré sa bonne tronche de vainqueur.    … Expand
