Even if you are not a fan of racing games, you'll still like burnout revenge. Thats how good it is! I am a big fan of racing games so this is an awesome experience. This game is worth the money, taking racing action to new heights! It asks you to do to others as they do to you. It puts the"R" in racing and REVENGE!

Aesome game and a great seller!

I had a great time playing this game with my nephews! I am glad that I got it here through Amazon brand new instead of at the store used. My nephew played it at a friends house a while back and wanted it for his birthday. We had a great time.

i just love it!~~!!

sweet cars, sweet new rules, amazing new events and i cant get enough of it.
but the multi player mode needs to be rethought. its..... kinda boring. to much dealing with menus. you race once and then you go to the main menu.. lame.
mario cart has a better multiplayer menu then this game.

Another great addition to the Burnout series.

This is another great Burnout game. Some people think it is less challenging and it is but thats ok because in this game you can ram right into the traffic that is in front of you. That means you don't have to dodge traffic and that is why people think it is less challenging. The only traffic you can't hit are larger vehicles and oncoming traffic. You can still takedown your rivals in this game. Everything about this game is still really good and they changed somethings in this game like the crash event. You'll hear people cheering as more and more cars get into the pile up. The start is much different you have to focus on this start its not too bad but you'd better be careful with the start. And of course the crash events still maximum destruction.

Another solid racing game from the Burnout series.

Burnout has been a long-standing staple for arcade racing fans. The incredible speed and incredible crashes make the game an adrenaline junkie's dream. The latest installment continues to deliver. While I rate this game on it's own merits, I cannot ignore past iterations in my review.

With Revenge, we are treated to some new ideas and innovations on the forumla. Now, not only can you hit the rear ends of traffic going the same way, you are encouraged to. What this means is thankfully less crashes to endure during a race. Unfortunately it takes away some of the skill required for earlier Burnout games. It also reduces the realism factor which I thought Burnout had a good balance of before. There is a revenge takedown now which involves crashing the opponent who previously wrecked you. For the games namesake, this technique is basically like all other takedowns. It's not even a signature takedown, but these do return and are still tricky to pull off.

The levels and tracks don't seem to stand out as different from one another. They all blend together in an urban nightmare kind of feel. Both the background and foreground scenery isn't as appealing as it has been. Since racing games are mostly about the cars and the road, this hurts the gameplay a little. The method for unlocking new levels has you bouncing from one level to another and back again over and over. There isn't much cohesive 'advancement' through the areas. You never get the chance to get a good feel for an area until you have played through the vast majority of the game.

The crash mode is back and is better than the last game. No longer are there crashbreaker pickups and score multipliers. You are free to go where you please to start a crash and your crashbreaker builds up relative to the mayhem you cause. This makes crashing into the same scenario over and over much more fun and varied. The ability to use any unlocked car in most crashes makes it even better. What I still dont' care for is the post-crash camera, which is supposed to survey the roadway and display all the scrap metal you tore up. It doesn't follow the roadway well and you can't rotate it or do anything but watch it's pure befuddled simplicity. While better than Burnout 3: Takedown, it's not nearly as good as the reigning Burnout 2's crash mode.

The graphics are still impressive for PS2 and the sound does it's job marvelously. The music, however, may not be what you'd expect. The usual mix of alternative rock, punk and surf-rock returns... but in a typically ignorant EA move, you cannot turn off ANY of the tracks. You can set each song to Menu Only, Race Only or Both. With almost 50 songs that all sound alike with little variation in genre, you'll probably want to set the annoying ones to Menu Only and save the really good songs for Racing. What Burnout needs to do is add a heavier set of music and/or some high-energy electonic music.

Proving itself yet again, Burnout Revenge keeps you glues to your seat with the kind of amazing arcade racing fans love. While the core racing is the same, the new gimmicks don't add anything significant to gameplay, and the crash mode makes a slightly stronger showing.
If arcade racing, adrenaline-fueled speed and glorious sparks-flying crashes are your thing, you absolutely must play Burnout and you can't go wrong with what Revenge offers.

Different but still "Burnout"

This installment of the "Burnout" series has some major differences from the last. First is the cars, while they look much better in this installment, the number of models seems to have dimished in favor of 'tweaking' the same models for the more advanced cars. The most unique cars remain in the 'Crash' part of the game.

It took me a while to get used to being encouraged to hit traffic, especially in a burning lap. I still dodge cars in races and burning laps out of habit.

Those are really my only complaints. All-in-all a great game and installment to the "Burnout" series.

Rockin' Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game rocks! It is a teriffic game It has an amazing sound track it sounds really good. I really love this game me and my best friend have it and we both think it is awesome. If you like blowing up and crashing into cars buy this game. It is a really good deal you have a ton of cars including bouns cars even a viper and a carls Jr. truck you know the mobile diner. Also You can crash into semis and you may notice at first you can not blow up in single player mode but later you can. But the game starts getting super hard later. Here is some advice buy this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE ULTIMATE RACING GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Casual gamer. The only things I'd like to see are replay (like the prior version) and a little better 'feel' in my steering wheel. I've earned more crash points using the PS2 controller... but that could be my limitations, not the games.
