It's just awful

It's a fact that I like crash racing games. So that's why I wanted to give it a try. I was pretty sure it wouldn't be as good as Burnout 3, but thought it would still be fun. So I went ahead and rented it and turns out this game is awful. The graphics, crashes, speed, and fun pale n comparison to Burnout 3. I have very few positive things to say about it. The customization is cool and I like the detail in the environments. Other than that though, this game is just awful. What's so bad about it?

1. The cars. They look bland, not very detailed, and very similar to each other in races.

2. The commentary is almost muted, repetitve, and annoying.

3. The crashes look bad. Especially in the beinning of races when the cars are rubbing on each other. It's just silly.

4. Lack of fun. The races are way too short, too repetitve, too easy, and just plain boring.

5. The soundtrack is weak.

6. Overall presentation is pathetic. Nothing looks great, menu design is pretty bad and hard to navigate as well.

7. One minor incident can cost you a race. And if you want to restart in a series, you have to start over the whole series. Not good.

Believe me. The are a lot more negatives. I don't even know why this game was even made. It's just awful.

If you're looking for a racing game that features unimaginative track design and cars that look they're made of plastic and not to mention slow moving, then get Crash N'Burn. Otherwise, pick up either Burnout 3 or Flat Out for some real racing fun!

Just like Bubbal, I have not played Crash N'Burn either, as it has yet to be released.

From the photos released so far of Crash N'Burn the game looks nothing short of plain awful. The cars on the PS2 version don't even match those cars that appear in Grand Turismo on the Playstaion 1. Crash N'Burn does seem cheap though i'll give it that. I own Flat Out, Burnout 2 and 3, i will wait to see more customer reviews of Crash N'Burn before parting with any cash.

1 star awarded based on looks alone and not playability. Eidos needs to re think what it is releasing.

All in all Crash N'Burn rates as one of the most disappointing releases this year. The game looks far from impressive when compared to other racing games of this type.
Winning races often comes down to luck rather than skill.

Flat Out is superior by far in the car destruction stakes and Burnout 3 superior in the speed stakes, even Outrun 2 is way above Crash N'Burn in the playability stakes.

DEMOLITION DERBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay i have not played this game yet but sure as hell looks good. I have X- Box magazine and saw all of the beautiful graphics in there. Yes, the tracks are very easy but look at it this way: every lap au a struggle because you have to get past the cars that ram you and to make you explode. There are a few flaws. 1- you have little customizations this game( if you want customizations check out Acclaim' s Juiced availbe for the X-Box and Ps2). 2-well not to offend the company of eidos or anything but they haven't been the greatest company in the last few years. quick tell 10 games made that company other Tomb Raider! well, other that those small flaws it's a must have for any gamer who loves destruction. (Did I mention it's X-Box Live compatible?)

The AI cars are brain dead

If there was a Hall of Fame for all time bad racers Crash N'Burn would make the top 10 with ease.

The AI cars are brain dead, the collision detection very suspect and the audio is abysmal. The cars don't exactly convince the eye that they are lumps of metal smashing into each other, all they do is convince the eye that they are lo quality computer graphics.
