The best racer on Gamecube.

Let me start by saying that this is the best racing game on Gamecube. Much liek the original Burnout, you race through traffic at insanely high speeds. This time, getting boosts is easier, so the game is more enjoyable. If you played this game on PS2, you will know what to expect, and everything is perfectly in tact. The game is faster than Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, but also more enjoyable.

Unlike the first game, Burnout 2 has tons of modes for you to play in. There is the crash mode, where you try and cause the most damage. There are lots more races, a better selection of cars, and the option to play as cops. The game does get hard, but not to the point of frustration. The graphics are phenomenal, without any slowdown. Crashes are once again awesome.
If you own a Gamecube, you must buy this game.

Heart Pounding Excitement!!!!!!!!!!!

I have loved this game since I played it on PS2. That said, the Cube version is even more eye popping and exciting!!!

The turbo boosts feature is awesome. To catch up with the leader you wind up in a frenzied havoc ridden charge through busy intersections and oncoming traffic. Better yet is the fact that even though you frequently travel at lightning fast speeds you miss buying the farm, by somehow managing to scrape by and swerve past other cars and obstacles within inches of your life. Until you master the controls, which are challenging but smooth and pretty easy to learn, you'll cause all types of damage both to yourself and the breath-taking surroundings. Just listen for the crunching sounds, blasting horns and scraping metal, so realistic, you would think that it was produced in hollywood.

The game excels in the area of crashing. There's minigames where the object is to cause as much monetaryu damage as possible. My kids and I played that for hours, even the youngest, or worst of drivers have an awesome time with this. Multi-player is awesome as well.

The computer controlled cars are out to get you, but in the name of keeping it real, do occassionally wipe themselves out when they're under pressure.

The game gets harder when it time to win championships, but stay the course and soon you shall soar like n eagle. Unlock hidden cars and discover more fun yet.

If you have a cube and like racing and or smash em up games, YOU MUST OWN BURNOUT II. You'll thank me.

I myself played the first Burnout game and was somewhat pleased. However, it lacked gameplay modes and was quite hard to race, because the timer would run out too quickly. Burnout 2, on the other hand, takes full advantage of Gamecube and delivers the best, crisp graphics, fluid smooth speed, and is just genuine fun. There are many modes to play in, each is easy enough for the beginner, yet still challenging for the expert. Great for all ages, this racer for Gamecube is a must.

Crazy

Like most I loved the first burnout, but had several problems, the biggest being it was just too short. Burnout2 is a completely different story, oncoming traffic is slightly easier to weave thru, the timer does not seem to run 50 feet b4 the next check point, and all the extra modes, tracks, and cars are amazing! The crash mini game is perfect for groups and/or people who have trouble driving or not big racer fans. Burnout2 is by far one of the best games yet produced for the gamecube.

OUTSTANDING GAME!!!!!

This is the best racing game I have ever played! the graphics are cutting edge (at least for gamecube), the cars are all new, there are more events, including pursuit (where you get to be a police car), and crash (where you see how much money in damage you can rack up). This isnt one of the racing games where after a couple of hours, you have everything, this takes much longer!
Buy this game!!!

I've played several racing games on the 'cube, including the original Burnout. None of them compare to the gameplay and graphics of Burnout 2.
In addition to the championship mode, you get multiplayer racing and crash mode. All in all it is a very fun game. If you enjoy racing games, this is a must buy.

Impact is right!

I rented this game (have since purchased) and was literally blown away. The best racer for the Cube, period. Its got enough variation to keep interest, easy enough to provide advancement, but difficult enough to keep me hooked. You've gotta play this to believe it, graphics are great, gameplay is great, sound. . . yes, sound, effects are amazing. Its done in digital surround, so the experience of racing (and crashing) can be felt with the volume on high. Played on a 16x9 50" hidef TV, (The game has an aspect setting for it when most don't) this is a sensational gaming experience, I can't get enough of this first person racer!
