Although this game has not come out for the Gamecube yet I've played the PS2 version of it and its absolotly one of the best racing games ever!!! The reason its so great is that you can buy almost any car imaginable from the Ford F-150 to the Porsche 911 turbo. So to rap this up I seriously recomend this game to anybody who likes racing, and/or is a car enthusiest!!! ---This review is in regards to the PS2 version of this game.

This game is going to be great

this game is so incredibly bad it should be a crime to sell it. i am referring to the ps2 version, but i doubt there were any improvements made to the gcn port. do not let anyone tell you otherwise...this is a bad game. if it were possible to give it negative stars i most certainly would.

now for the reason why. the advertisements give every indication that the crashes are realistic. while that is the only statement that may be true, let me tell what isn't. this game is no fun. i do not like a linear racing game of this sort. the crashes are fun to see the first time. after that it becomes tedious to watch not one, not two, but three angles of the same crash.

let's take out the crash effects. what you are left with is a horribly bad race game. it can be beaten easily.

steer clear of this money robbing hack job of a game.

What Do you mean it's a crime.

This is the perfect game choice. You unlock 1,000s of levels and can earn four new cars which are The Roadster, Tow Truck, bus, Saloon Gt. The crashes are cool to watch and can be saved. It's good to have at least two controllers and 1 friend. On PS2, I've been play on this game for hours. Interstate is no matter what the best level to play. The game is very lively like you are accually controlling a reallife car. In my opinion I say play the Mustang in Manual, because you can go up to 143mph on Interstate for the whole level. The roadster is a fast car in Showoff mode. Survival is also very good. You should start with the Super Minivan. The Super Minivan is good at turning. The game is not a crime. It's the perfect game.

Excellent driving game!!

This is probably the best driving game I've played in a LONG time. Burnout is not a driving simulation (like F1, Driven, etc..) it is very much a game (Ridge Racer, Demolition Racer, etc...)- and a fun one at that. The tracks are very well designed, the car control is fantastic, and the extra features are neat (you can replay and save crashes to the MC.) One really cool feature of the game is that crashes are assigned 'points' by the dollar amount of damage.

Pros: Fun. Good control. Execllent AI. A zillion well designed tracks. 16x9 mode. Crashes are fun to watch. Good feeling physics model.

There are very few cons and are they are pretty minor. The graphics are very good, but you can tell this was made for 3 different systems. It doesn't seem to take good advantage of the extra horsepower the GC/Xbox have over the PS2. Still, it has better graphics than many other GC/Xbox titles. Also there's no track progress icon anywhere on the screen. There's no way to know how far behind or ahead you are and with the scope of the tracks they can feel a bit long- not knowing where the start/finish line is. It also doesn't allow for the added racing gameplay element when you're just barely ahead and trying to stay there.

(very minor) Cons: No apparent extra zing for CG vs. PS2, No 16x9 progressive. No track progress graphic.

Overall it's right up there with Rogue Leader as far as great gameplay. Well worth the $[money]!

Burnout-Best Racing Game for GCN Avaliable

Burnout is a really great game! I bought the game having not ever played it before, and I am not a racing fan. The game is a whole lot of fun and, to me, puts a very unique twist on the usual boring "race to the finish line" racing genre. Yes, that is the goal of the game, but factor in the amazing crash sequences and the need to drive recklessly to improve your Burnout meter and you have a really great, fun game! The speed you can go is amazing on this, it draws you right into the game, and when you crash going top speed and flip multiple times, even if you are trying to beat down your opponents you can't help but enjoy the mouth-watering crashes! If you're looking for a great game to tide you over until Starfox or Zelda comes out, or just want to play a very excellent game, I highly recommend this game! The only flaw I could find is the corny music. Also, increase the fun by having more than 1 person to play it with, then you get to force your friends into oncoming traffic ;-)

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!!!

Funarific driving game!

Burnout is an excellent game for Gamecube. The cars are wonderfully designed and the tracks are long. This game's graphics are great, because, well, it's a GAMECUBE GAME! Any GC game is wonderfully graphinated. This driving game is like none else. Heeeeere's the top review:

PLay Control-
OH MAN! The control is perfecto! Depending on which car, though. 4 and a half!

Graphics-A huge upgrade. This is far out the best pro of 'pros and cons' of the game. 5 stars, indeed!

Replay Value-Great, especially if you like to drive. You can play Single Race with 1 player if ya' like. Four stars!

I give it 4 and a half. The half is for some controls and some replay, but overall, very good game!
Oh, have you ever played Midtown Madness for the PC? Well, I you have, get this! Enjoy!

Very Awsome Game!!!!!!!!!!

this game is sweet, the graphics are total awsome, and the game play is nice. If I had a rating for control, game play, and fun. through a 1-5 rating ill have to say control is 4.5, game play is 5.0, and fun is 5.0. This game is sweet, but if your eager to buy it, first rent it then once you really get to like it, then you should buy it. This game is an exellent racing game.

Awsome!

Fun, fast, and killer graphics! .... It's really cool. Pushing your friends off the road and watching the awsome crashes is great fun. A must.
