You will have more fun playing this game than any other game on PS2. Just don't drive a car after playing because the game gets you really excited.

GREAT GAME!!!

Let me start by saying I hate most racing sims, where it's just you against the turns and the gears in a sad attempt to exactly capture the thrills of actual circuit racing. It doesn't work. It needn't work. Why do they keep trying? Who plays that junk? Video games are capable of so much more, so why not get a little more fanciful? Burnout makes great use of moving and unpredictable obstacles (traffic) to produce a first-rate arcade experience unlike anything you could try in real life (more than once anyway). Sure it has the turning and sliding and manual transmission issues of a "real" racing game, but the real fun is in trying to drive against traffic at 110 mph to build up turbo so you can go even faster. The courses are really wonderful. The action really keeps the heart pounding as in no other game I've played.

Other racing games I love (all PS1 for some reason):
1. Crash Team Racing - Fantastic alone or with friends
2. Sled Storm - great use of shortcuts, tricks, terrain
3. Micro Machines - overhead every-toy-on-one-screen

REALLY boring racing games: Sega GT 2002, Rallisport Challenge, Smuggler's run (multiplayer mode), ATV Offroad Fury, GT3

Nothing compared to Burnout 2.

I did not like this game at all. However I love the sequel Burnout 2. I suggest you avoid this one and play 2 instead. End of story.

Review of Burnout

This is another game that leaves much to be desired. The graphics are very PSone like and the gameplay lacks any real substance. You race past cars trying to get near misses and by doing so you fill up your burnout meter. Once your burnout meter is full you can go to supersonic speed whitch doesnt look or feel any different than when you were going normal speed. The near misses get to be very boring after a while. And there are not enough cars or tracks available. The racing to get to the next ckeckpoint is a little to arcade-like. The good thing about this game is that the steering and control are very tight. Bottom line rent it don't buy it. Buy GT3. That's it from me. I'm out :)

This is a cool game. All racing fans out there, you gotta buy this game. This is fast and fun and the crashes are cool. Real car damage and the graphics are cool. This game...ROCKS!!!
BUT, it's not as cool as other racing games, can't control the first replay, no camera views and no slow-motion, saving the replay, just only the crash and no replay in 2-player mode.

Best Racing Game

I used the title "Best Racing Game" but what I relly mean is best Racing game. Not the best driving game (Heh heh, I just had to make it difficult, eh?). But by far the best racing game.

Previously my favorite racing game was Gran Turismo 2 (I only tried 3 once and wasn't to excited). The best DRIVING game is Midtown Madness, but the second is Burnout.I rented Burnout because I had previously seen it at the store and read the back thinking it looked interesting. I am now going to go back to the store and buy it.

I think the best part about it is the realness (is that a word?) of it. Even the slightest details like turning-signals are perfected in the game. I like the way you get to race through real life traffic and weather conditions. The AI of the civilian drivers is incredible, and the civillian cars are also very detailed (one thing that MM doesn't have). The cars are well tuned to as they would be in real-life. I must say that this is one of the most addictive games out there!

I would recommend this game to anyone who likes driving, simulation, good graphics, or just a fun time! It would also make a great christmas present or stocking stuffer!

Very Realistic

The physics simulator that creates the car crashes is very realistic giving the game a look and feel that is totally authentic. The controls can be learned rapidly, there is no training session, and the championships are challenging without being too hard. This a very good game if you just want to play a fun, fast-paced game without a lot of studying involved.
