5 stars ( PS2 Burnout Revenge ) - I bought this game for my grandson. He is 9 years old. He enjoys this game very much. 4 stars (Different...which can be good or bad.) - I LOVED Burnout 3. So when I heard that they were making Burnout Revenge I was extremely excited. After months of anticipation I finally got a chance to play BR hoping it would bring the same hours of vehicular mayhem as Burnout 3. It turned out that what BR offered was a few changes for the better and a few that I don't really like. First I'll talk about the good stuff. The graphics are beautiful! I didn't think they could do much better than B3 but they have. They tracks are insanely complicated with shortcuts and alternate paths everywhere. This really makes it so that the tracks never get too old because you can always find new ways to drive. The crash junctions are also incredibly laid out. Most of them require catching huge air and landing in or near a busy intersection. Most of them also have two or three different levels of highway so when you explode you can manuver your car to fall on the unsuspecting drivers below. The new traffic checking feature gives kind of mixed results for me. On the one hand it is great to plow into a van from behind and send it flying into your opponent but on the other hand it kind of takes away from the twitch racing where you had to be on your gaurd and have quick reflexes. When the subtitle to BR is Battle Racing Ignited you can tell its going to focus more on the battling aspect. I think that the traffic checking does just that, giving you yet another way to take our your opponent. Now for things things I'm not too crazy about. You can't do a single event like in B3. Some days I just wanna come home and take out my agression with some road rage but now I have to go into the world tour and find a road rage event instead of simply choosing a single event from the title screen. Thats just a little frustrating and something I can learn to deal w...

4 stars (Great sequel) - EA have done a bang up job with Burnout Revenge. Although gameplay has hasn't changed that much and only minor improvemnts were made this is nothing short of spectacular. I would have to give this 4.5 out of 5 2 thumbs up all the way 4 stars (One of helluva racer) - First things first, the Burnout series has always been about one thing: the crashes. Not the actual game crashing (though it has occured twice ironnically) but the cars in the game grinding and shunting against one another. There are five different racing events which include race, eliminator, road rage, crash, and traffic attack. Race and Crash are what I digged the most, the high adrenaline and exhilirating action of Race is unbelieveable. Cars can top 209 mph, with nice blur effects thrown in. This game allowes you to ram other non-racing cars into your oppenents. The game is easier than Burnout 3 but the tracks are much better and prettier looking. Crash mode is a Burnout series trademark, the basis is to get your car ot cause the biggest pile-up as possible, and sometimes you have to work around which spot to hit and such, then afterowrds you are awarded a medal depending on how much vehicle damage you did. And crashbreakers are back and badder than ever. In Burnout 3, you could only use them in Crash, now they are available in all the other modes (After reaching a certain rank). Crashbreakers are when you explode your car much like a kamikaze to destroy oppenents or cause more vehicle damage in Crash mode. Speed plays a major part in this game, you have boost bar which you can increase or fill up by doing certain "risks". Multiplayer for the Burnout series was never intersting nor any fun so stick with the single player aspect of the game. This game receives 4 stars overall for being glitchy at times and it won't take too long to reach the "Elite" rank. Still, this thing is hard to put down once you get into it. 4 stars (Best Burnout Yet) - With a name like Burnout Reven...
