5 Minute Fun

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.

If you play this game for 6 minutes you will be hooked.
I have completed the PS2 version of this game. I usally get bored before I complete most games, but this one is very addictive. You just want to keep playing.
As you get better at it, you will be able to avoid oncoming traffic and obsticles with what seams like incredible skill, which will make your friends gasp with amazement.
The Xbox should make this very fast game even faster.
I might get one just for this game, even though I already have it.

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.

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.

Do you have the NEED, The NEED for speed?

This game reminds me in a lot of ways of 'The Need for Speed' series on the PS(Which I really miss). In fact, the only thing this game is lacking is POLICE chases. 'BURNOUT' is, well, FAST! I love the sense of speed. There is absolutely NO SLOWDOWN and the FRAME RATE is a perfect 60 fps(I always look for those two things first). The buildings look as good as 'Project Gotham' but flying by at a blistering speed. The trees look kinda funky, but they're easy to ignore. The game, to me, has a few flaws. The cars are a little weak in detail and there aren't enough to chose from. They say there is 14 tracks, but really only three or four but there are different conditions(like day, night or dusk) and maybe slight alternate routes. Kind of like 'Project Gotham' or 'Test Drive-Off Road(Xbox). Also, I really wish game makers would create more options to remove all the junk off the screen(mph, time, laps remaining, position, etc.) I like all that [stuff] removed(Rush 2049-Dreamcast is perfect in that aspect). NONE of these complaints ruin this game for me. I love the big crashes and the awesome speed. POLICE chases would have made it better to me. A diffenate rental, if you don't mind repititon, buy it. I beat this game in only a few short hours. But, I still find myself wanting to get back in the drivers seat for a taste of some wild speed.

Very fun driving game for the XBox

At first Burnout just seems too simple. I wondered if it would really be fun for more than a few minutes. Well, the gameplay is simple, but incredibly fun.

Standard gameplay is a lightweight "career" mode in which you advance through the game by winning races. You pick a car from a rather generic, limited set and race on city streets against several other contenders. Along the way you'll be driving into oncoming traffic, running redlights and testing every driving violation at over 100 mph. Get into an accident and you'll see a cool replay of the indicent and be shown an insurance estimate for the damage :)

The courses are reasonably long, but the game itself can be completed pretty quickly (just a few days in my experience). Also, the graphics are nothing special. However, the fast paced action makes this a strong contender as one of the best XBox driving games currently available.

I love racing/driving games, it is definately my favorite catagory..., unfortunately I get a specific game in my head and compare all other games to it. While playing Burnout, I found myself saying "that's cool" .....or "I wish it could have been like 'this' instead of 'that'..." throughout the game. It's not a bad game at all, it definately has the speed thing down....but there were bad points too. Graphic bugs like terrain popping in and out makes me not want to play (is that shallow? haha) the game. I like my driving games to be seemless...I like stuff to look pretty while I'm driving around....is that too much to ask? This is definately a rent/borrow game before you buy it, because you may not like it...or you may love it. Me, all I said was, "Well, it's not Wreckless....."

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!!
