I don't get why people would still buy this game (burnout) for 49.99, when burnout 2 is out and selling at 39.99. Burnout2 has more cars, has a crash mode were u try to crash into things for cash, it has many vehicles to choose from and has a wide selection of modes. Burnout2 has much better graphics.
GET BURNOUT 2

I gave Burnout 1 star beacause it didn't use the car's names. It used the janaric name of the cars like sportscar and pickup. That alone cost the at least one star. Second, I didn't think that the game presented a real chalange like other racing games such as Need For Speed do. In those games you get points for doing things like placing in races, but you don't get that in Burnout. You also have different options in NFS that you don't get in Burnout. You can Be the Cop and catch the annoying speedsters. In my opinion, you just get a better quality of game in NFS. I would say not to buy this game. If you like a real racing game, Burnout is a poor choice.
there are no 300 cars

This game ist the great big deal there are saying. The game only has 10 levls and 5 are the other-way-aroun version of the last five. The cars are not cool they suc and the graphics are ok not wow. they dont rewrd bad drivng they just give u a turbo if u pass clos to a car at a hgh speed. if u crash it takes away turb. You get like 20 secs per checkpoints and if u crash u loose like 3 seconds. if u dont like checkpoints it isnt ur game. there are only like 7 cars u can drive. its not a good game at all. Its too expensive for what it is.
great game, but...

this is a great action racing game. the graphics and sound effects are exceptional, not to mention the crashes. the game has an excellent multiplayer mode, and also has a great single player championship or race mode. With tons of cars, tracks, and fun, i would rate this game five stars but...i have found the championship mode, where you are awarded new cars and tracks, to be extremely aggrivating! Sure the racing is fun, and you think you are doing great when you are relaxing in first place but then you hit another car and crash and the game decides to do an auto replay that takes so much time and spits you back into fourth place, where you go on to lose and dont qualify for the car you have worked so hard at getting. well you just spent your hour trying to get this new car, only to find some mini van packed full of screaming children decides to wheel out infront of you right at the finish line, and make you lose! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
great game, but...

this game is hands-down the best racer for GC. but there's a major flaw. this game took me about 3 days to beat, after you unlock everything theres really nothing left to do but 2 player mode which dries up easily. and the AI isnt NASCAR worthy. this game is great for renting but not for buying.

Very Fun

I tested this game thinking ti'd be a bad game from the looks of it. Was I WRONG. Unlike oldenoughtoknowbadgames' review (which shouldn't even be up because it doesn't even relate to the GCN version), I found this game to be addictive, & fun. I loved the feature that you can save your best crashes and show them to friends. TOTALLY FUN!!!
one annoying game

Burnout is a very sad racing game the crashes replay 3 times everytime you crash and get quite annoying when you're trying to race.The courses are ok at the begining but once u get to the middle you start to see practically the same course you ran earlier in the game and the 300 vechiles advertised are 295 vechiles that you don't get to drive, this is a very poor game and i suggest that anyone should rent it before thinking of purchasing it.
horrible game

I remember seeing the previews of this game and thinking that this could be one of the first good racing games that i've seen in a while, yet it was just another let down. I started playing and i decided to get into an accident to go along with the theme of the game, it was nothing special and yet i still lost controll of the game. i went on and every single crash you get into, no matter how small, will cause you to loose controll of the game to go into some replay, and that is the single handed most annoying feature i have seen in an game. the graphics are nothing special and dido for the controlls and gameplay. if you want a good racing game go to something like rumble racing and don't waste your time on this garbage.

Sometimes, racing games always seems to be exactly all alike from each other every single time. That comes within the feel of the race and thensome. For Burnout, the game actually seems to falter a bit through the lines. Largely because the game is one of the most lackluster video racing games ever. Not only that, the game also has its replays in crashes more likely than the game itself. Although they are nice, the feel of getting first place is really not there in this game at all. Instead, you're mostly draging around in the mud. The object of the game is for you to race and not only capture first, but also fill your boost meter to the max, by closely missing each of the ongoing cars. It does seem to falter a bit, and also the game is not the best in control. I strongly suggest you pass up this game, and instead get Mario Kart: Double Dash instead. You'll have a much better time.
