Wow this game is terrible. Compared to any other racing game for Ps2. Your better off going with Gran Turismo 3. These Graphics are horrible and the game control stinks. Also it is very easy, i beat it in 3 hours. So don't waste 50.00 dollars on this game. Rent it and you will see how bad this game is.

every game comes so close but one thing messes it up

i liked most every thing about this game. cars are cool tracks are rad. but every time you crash you loose controle of the car.
the car stops and it shows you the wreck from 3 different camra angles. it is cool the first time but it takes about 10 sec for every crash. in other good games like gta3 half the fun of the wrecks is driving out of them on two wheels or rolling the car and still trying to power out of it. if this game let you keep driving when you get in a crash i would go buy it tomarow. but it is to frustrating to play. so i will take it back before my five days is up. it just makes me mad

This game (***) dont even rent it !

I like racing games, but this is probably the worst racing game I have ever played. First you cant wreck and keep on going.It stops and shows you a bunch of (***). Also it charges you a hundred thousand dollars for a dent in your car. You also cant go fast I had a viper and I maxed out at 130 mph. And another thing there are these big green arrows that show you which way to go. You cant go in reverse or a big red wall comes out from nowhere and stops you. If you like not wrecking, driving slow, and spending money than this game is perfect for you.

WORST GAME EVER

This game is quite possibly the worst I have played on the PS2 yet. The instant-crash replay garbage is just anoying, the graphics are not all that great, and it has very little replay value. Don't waste your money on this game, get something else.

This game held my attention for all of 30 seconds!!!!

I really can't see why people actually like this game. I found my self looking for GT3 just so I could get that bad racing taste out of my mouth. I really glad that I only rented it because if I had wasted 50 bucks I'd be really angry. The game isn't all that fun for starters and the graphics don't even come close to the PS2 standards. The crashing in this game is really stupid. And I thought that that was supposed to be the best part. Instead it holds you back for like 10 seconds while all other racers fly away. Another stupid thing about the game are the buses and tractor trailers. On a sharp turn you can actually get blocked off from the race by one of these and there's nother like losing because you hit an 18 wheeler. Also there are only about 5 cars to choose from, and that stinks. So, I gave it one star because really I'd rather play something else than this Midnight Club wanna be.

TWO WORDS.....DONT BUY!

I BOUGHT THIS GAME AND RETURNED IT AN HOUR LATER. THE BOX MAKES YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR GETTIN THE MOST REALISTIC CRASHING GAME EVER MADE....BUT IN FACT ITS THE WORST..IF YOU WANT REALISTIC CRASHING GO BUY GRAND THEFT AUTO 3.ITS 10 TIMES BETTER. BASICALLY BURNOUT IS JUST ANOTHER RACING CLONE. NOT EVEN WORTH RENTING..NOT SURE WHY PEOPLE ON HERE GIVE IT 5 STARS.THEY PROBABLY NEVER PLAYED A RACING GAME IN THIER LIFE AND IT WAS THIER 1ST EXPERIENCE. SAVE YOUR MONEY IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. LAYTA

Definetly not worth buying

RENT THIS GAME BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER BUYING IT!! This game is ridiculously lacking. The graphics leave MUCH to be desired. This looks more like a PSone game than a PS2 game. The crashes aren't as glamorous as people say they are; in a light front collision, all of the windows instantly crack, after a hard collision, all of the windows break and fall out, revealing the cars' incredibly detailed (sarcasm =P) pitch black interior. Once in a while you get a nice crash but its quite rare... (flips and such). Most of the crashes are spinouts, rear end collisions, and head on collisions. Oncoming traffic is so ridiculously blurry, you dont see it until its practically in your face. At intersections, there are arrows preventing you from going off course, and from behind these arrows comes cross-traffic (usually conveniently placed 18-wheelers) that is nearly impossible to see. There is NO HANDBRAKE. The tracks are OK, but tacky and repetitive. The music is the most generic stereotypical techno music I have ever heard (with the exception of the intro tune, its kinda nice). The opponent cars dont ever crash or slow down until theyre on your screen, so basically theyre always close behind. Even if you somehow manage to lose them, even one crash will magically bring them right on your tail, and they usually pass you while you try to accelerate. The crashes aren't really fun considering you lose 'burnout' (boost) because of them, and they take off a lot of time while it replays the crash three times over. The racing has its own feel to it... it might be fun, but not for long...

"Burnout" is an okay game. It's fun to go whizzing through rush hour traffic at 130 mph. It's therapeutic in the sense that you can do stuff in this game that you wish you could do in real life.

The thing that makes me give this game two stars are the crashes. Yeah, they look realistic and cool and you can replay your crashes from about five different angles after you finish the track. But when you're racing someone and you crash, the game shows you how you crashed from three different views all while chewing up time on your clock. You can't skip the crash replays nor is there a setting preference to turn them off. It really throws off the flow of the game and irritates the living heck out of you!

You're racing along and you crash with 1:15 left on the clock. The computer kicks in and shows you how you crashed from 3 different slow-motion perspectives, but when you regain control of the game and race, you've lost 5 seconds thanks to the computer. What a gyp!

It was an okay rental, but I'm kind of bummed I wasted $... on it. If you want a good racing game, pick up "Gran Turismo 3". If you want a game that whips every other car game out there, grab "Grand Theft Auto 3". If you want to be annoyed by endless crash replays and limited playability, "Burnout" is for you.
