This game is non stop excitement and thrills. The great part about this particular game is that it offers something every skill level of game play. It has bad cars and cool moves. Plus lots of hidden secert cars and levels. Its like five games in one. I can't wait till the next adition is avaible.

Best Arcade racer. Crash mode rules!

This is arcade style racing so it's a little easier to play than games that simulate a car's control in detail. To me that's what games should be! It is fun to just pick up and play rather than frustrating. Great for a casual or hard core gamer. This one is tons of fun. You race to unlock new and better cars. There are great pursuit races where you are the cop chasing a car which can only be stopped by causing it to breakdown (by ramming and crashing). The icing on the cake is crash mode. You have 30 different traffic scenarios to do where you try to cause the most expensive pile-up of cars, trucks, and busses. It is quite a rush and the graphics and sound are spectacular. World ranking and scores are kept via XBOX live which gives you extra incentive to do better. There is multiplayer, but not online. My only hopes for Burnout 3 would be the ability to play friends via XBOX live and save replays. The crashes are very spectacular and many very worthy of saving to show friends. Burnout 2 is a keeper!

Wonderful Game

I just got this game today, ordered it 3 days ago. this is a hack of a good and fun racing game. It has a locked 60 frames per second video, which is 2x faster than project gotham racing two. the graphics are very life like, and the crashes are incredible. The 60fps video is very interesting when you are racing full speed... Needforspeed2 on the xbox has 60fps sometimes but burnout2 has it all the time. I got it for $20, so it's worth every penny. I hope to unlock all of the races/cars soon. 60fps is a MUST in console racing games. imo. Burnout2 has NO LAG during the fastest motion(crashes/etc). 5 stars.

Excellent!

This is, by far, the best racing game I've played for X-Box. It doesn't even have real model/make cars, which is normally a requirement for a good racing game to me, and it still rocks. Even my wife can't stop playing it. This is a great game to play for a couple of friends - reminds me of when four or five of us used to stack up to play Mario Cart on the Super Nintendo (no the gameplay is nothing like that at all... but the level of fun is!).

The only shortcoming this game has is no ability to save your replays. I would very much like to save some of my crash replays after coming home from sitting in traffic for a couple hours.

Burnout 2 - still fun

Still lots of fun to play on the original Xbox -- requires more skill (to build up the Burnout bar) compared to Burnout 3 and 4. This one is much more about near-misses and sliding than the follow-up games in the series, which are more about Teh Insane SPEED...

A big difference with this one (#2) is that if you let go of the A button (Burnout speed) before it runs out, you have to build it back up to Full again before you can use it -- Burnout 3 has speed-boost-on-demand.

Slower paced overall, which makes it a good choice over BO:Revenge(#4 in the series) - for parents who want to race as well ;-)

Burnout 2 - I recommend it for family entertainment. Also got my girlfriend into Xbox racing with this title :-)
