Burnout: Revenge Microsoft Xbox Video Game Review by AceGamez Burnout: Revenge isn't a huge leap forward for the series compared to the evolution between Point of Impact and Takedown, but it is definitely an evolution for the franchise and once you play it you'll have a hard time going back to the old track designs. Burnout has gone through a lot of changes since it made a splash in late 2001, back when Acclaim was publishing Criterion's legend-in-the-making series, a series that has evolved from being about crashing and narrowly escaping oncoming traffic to having a much bigger focus on shoving your opponents into this traffic. The newest version, Burnout: Revenge, doesn't make a drastic leap forwards like the series made from Point of Impact to Takedown (understandably so, it has barely been a year since Takedown), perhaps this could be the reasoning for dropping the number from the title as well. www.acegamez.co.uk /reviews_xbox/Burnout_Revenge_Xbox.htm   (2321 words)

GamesFirst! Burnout: Revenge Burnout: Revenge Xbox,PS2,XB360, In Burnout 3, the only place this appeared was in "crash mode", which is a series of short puzzle events where the goal is to cause as much monetary damage to other vehicles as possible. To those unfamiliar with the series, the Burnout games have had the basic premise of gaining "boost" (which is just like a 'turbo' bar that's been done in hundreds of racing games before, which provides drastic acceleration for a limited period of time) by "driving recklessly without actually getting into accidents". In my mind, Burnout 3 is still the apogee of the series, but beyond that, Revenge is a fundamentally different game than any of it's predecessors. www.gamesfirst.com /?id=792   (1579 words)

Burnout Revenge Review (Xbox) Burnout Revenge was designed to keep the series’ high intensity level and crashworthiness while- at the same time- offering new gameplay dynamics aimed at keeping former racers, and attracting new blood as well. The Burnout series of games was damn good from the start, which makes developer Criterion’s task of one-uping the earlier iterations of the game daunting. The fact of the matter is that the Criterion guys love the Tiger Woods series, and being in a totally different genre of games didn’t hold them back one bit in the creation of Burnout Revenge. reviews.teamxbox.com /xbox/982/Burnout-Revenge/p1   (943 words)

Burnout Revenge Review for PlayStation 2 at Gaming Horizon Veterans to the Burnout series will be hearing a lot of what they already know and will be tempted to skip the whole intro to the level, when there's usually a gem or two of new information that pertains to brand new features that they don't want to miss. Burnout 3 will, for now, be the pinnacle of the Burnout series in my opinion, but Revenge is still an absolutely solid grade-A title that's worth your time and coin. Criterion's answer is Burnout: Revenge, the ambitious new title which will attempt to do what previous games in the series have and kick it up a notch. reviews.gaminghorizon.com /media2/1128109680.101.html   (1395 words)

Burnout Game Burnout is also a game series created by the UK games company Criterion Games, and involves theuser to race through things like oncoming traffic, and recently (in Burnout 3) taking down the opposition (referred to as atakedown) to gain burnout points for extra boost to their car in order to win the race. Burnout is a psychological term for the experience of long-termexhaustion and diminished interest, usually coming immediately after an extended period of overwork. In Philosophical Investigations, philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein argued that the concept "game" could not be contained by any single definition, butthat games must be looked at as a series of definitions that share a "family resemblance" to one another. www.swingdancemusic.com /send/33266-burnoutgame.html   (1050 words)

IGN: Burnout Legends Review As the Burnout series has always pushed consoles as much as Criterion could flex them, and with great results indeed, it was to be expected that Burnout Legends wouldn't be a 100% perfect rendition of its console brethren. Sure, it's great that Criterion wanted to add a bit of the original Burnout into the mix, but there are two evident problems with this: Firstly, as mentioned, the racing style and track design is simply counter-intuitive to what we've come to expect from the series and essentially punishes you for racing as such. While the tracks from Burnout 2 and 3 were designed with the intent of flying around banks at high speeds without punishing you for keeping your foot on the gas at all times, Harbour Town is much less forgiving. psp.ign.com /articles/650/650814p1.html   (1083 words)

Burnout Revenge: Xbox Game Reviews - The Armchair Empire The Burnout series is a racing game, but the heart of the gameplay isn't racing against other drivers, trying to garner the checkered flag (although that's one of the many different game modes in the game). While Burnout 2 was a sharp-looking game, it's clear that Criterion has adeptly learned all the tricks necessary to get the most out of the graphic capabilities of current consoles that are in the latter stage of their lifespan. The last time I played a Burnout title was Burnout 2, and the dramatic jump in not only the look of the game, but the improved gameplay and sheer amount of modes and unlockable content is amazing. www.armchairempire.com /Reviews/XBox/burnout-revenge.htm   (698 words)

Burnout Revenge - Ferrago There are few other games to really compete with the Burnout series so far which is another major reason why Burnout Revenge is a must for fans of the sub-genre. Burnout 3 levels had you driving around a track through a busy city, but Burnout Revenge's levels will have you whizzing through urban mazes scrapping to find the quickest route. While it could be argued Burnout Revenge isn't quite as revolutionary for its time as Burnout 3 was just over a year ago, Revenge is overall just as good if not a better game. www.ferrago.com /story/6595   (1471 words)

In Burnout Legends DS you can actually drive straight up behind a guy, bump his back end, and get credit for a takedown.

GamingWorld X - Burnout 2 Review But as it stands, Burnout 2 is immensely fun and entertaining, and with so little heard from Namco’s Ridge Racer series since the PS2’s launch, and Midnight Club 2 not being due for several months, this is one of the few ways for arcade racing enthusiasts to get their fill. Burnout 2 expands upon everything the first game did right, and adds on to fix the deficiencies in the Burnout’s game structure. With Burnout 2, the developers have shown that they know exactly what to do with a sequel, and almost every facet of the game, most notably the crashes, have been improved, to create a truly memorable, if slightly flawed, arcade racing experience. www.gamingworldx.com /ps2/Burnout2.shtml   (2021 words)

Xbox: Burnout 3: Takedown Burnout 3: Takedown is the culmination of all the enticing concepts that the series has been previously flirting with. Burnout 2 was a great arcade racer with some unique elements that served to distinguish it: namely, a physics system that interprets real-life motion dynamics somewhat whimsically, and a game mode that flirted with the potential of the aforementioned. As much as I'm hesitant to make statements as conclusive as the following, it must be said: Burnout 3: Takedown is the new king of arcade racers. xbox.gamespy.com /xbox/burnout-3/545369p1.html   (2021 words)
