This is the worst game I have ever played! First of all I dont know what the point of the game is. Second of all the Grafics are terrible, i mean horrible. The cars were unpoportional and the over all grafics were BAD! I mean I have seen Nintendo 64 games that looked better then this! If You are looking for a Racing game for the X Box I fully recommend not to waste your money on this game because I Truly believe it is THE WORST GAME EVER!!

I played this game on the PS2 and it was fun for about 5 minutes. I don't imagine it will be too much different for xbox. It got tiring so fast because you could love tap another vehicle and you would have wrecked and had to start at the same spot with a new car all the while your opponents are passing you at 120mph. This makes it seemingly impossible.

the best racing game in todays times

This game is good as ice cream! You drive smash, drive, wreck the car, drive, drive fast! It has all that a gamer needs! I recommend it, and USE it!

In this game, there is no such thing as saying "slow down". It is really fast and if you are a wreckless driver you can go even faster. It also has great graphics and sound. The crashes are really realistic and it gives you an insurance cost for each crash. But there isn't very many cars to choose from and not very many courses. But besides that it is the coolest game in the world and you have to buy it.

Get ready to crash!!!

This game is one of the only few games that you can crash with cars. The awesome thing is that it tells you how much money you would have to pay for both for your damage and the damage of the other cars. You can flip in the air!!! My gosh. If you like car racing games and you positively LOVE crashing. Just spend a little bit of $$$ for this great game!!!

An A+++ game!

This game is really cool. It has the best crashes I have ever seen. It is really challenging. There are lots of options to choose from and cool sound effects. It even has a crash replay option so if you wreck and you want to see it again, you can see it as many times as you want.
I reccomend this game to anyone who has an Xbox.

THE BEST RACER NEXT TO GT3

This game is way cool. The updated graphics over the ps2 version is worth a purchase again. I loved this game on ps2, but I love it even more on the XBOX.The controls are good and the crashes are great.If you have an XBOX you have to get this game, IT ROCKS.

Burnout-A Review by NewAtomMan

If you're looking for a great racer for Xbox,look no further than Burnout.It has great graphics,it's exciting,and the crashes are very realistic.

Burnout plays like any ordinary racing game.Try to finish in first place.But,you also have to drive recklessly through a fully populated city.If you drive into oncoming traffic,and almost miss other cars,you'll fill your Burnout meter,and when it's full,you gain an incredible amount of speed.So fast,everything around you (cars,ECT.) will start to blur!

PROS:
1.Great graphics
2.Exciting gameplay
3.You get to go super-fast
4.You have to weave through a fully populated city,avoiding crashes
5.Realistic crashes

CONS:
1.Only a few cars to choose from
2.Only a few courses
3.Whenever you crash,the game shows two or three replays of it,meanwhile other cars are leaving you in the dust
________________________________________

GRAPHICS: 9/10
Not the best on Xbox,but still good.You can see windows shatter into particles,reflections off of you car and on the road,ECT.
________________________________________

SOUND: 10/10
Your car's engine sounds realistic,you can hear the glass break from a crash,cars smashing against the ground,and horns beeping throughout the city clearly.
________________________________________

CONTROLS:10/10
The controls are simple. Right trigger for gas,left for brake,ECT.

________________________________________

GAMEPLAY:8/10
You still have to finish in first,but to add a little excitement,you have to dodge cars and fill up your Burnout meter.Whenever you crash,you have to watch two or three replays of your car crashing,and after them,it shows the crash's points,in insurance money.Once,one of my friends got a $600,000 fine for destroying a tanker along with several other cars.

________________________________________

Overall,Burnout from Acclaim is a great arcade-like racer for Xbox,GameCube,and PS2.If you don't have it already,then you should wait for Burnout 2 to come out on May 1st.Burnout 2 is a lot better than Burnout 1.
