[Games - PS2] Burnout Revenge [9.1/10]

[SL65]

This time it's not about winning. It's not about riding on dubs or gaudy neon lights. It's about an utter disregard for the rules of road and total domination. This time it's personal. This time it's about revenge.

The sequel to 2004's racing game of the year, Burnout Revenge straps gamers into the fastest, most dangerous racer on the road. Fight dirty or go down in flames - the only rule is complete automotive anarchy.

Built for unprecedented destruction, Burnout Revenge challenges gamers to exact their revenge on rush hour traffic, vindictive rival racers and anything else that gets between them and the finish line.

Featuring multi-level tracks designed for fighting, wicked vertical takedowns, explosive new crashbreakers, new gameplay modes and wide open "crash courses" for epic crash sequences that put Hollywood to shame, Burnout Revenge redefines speed and aggression for the ultimate in vehicular combat.

And when gamers are ready to take their rage on the road, a massive suite of online modes and features open up endless possibilities to slam, shunt and stonewall new enemies all over the world. Happy hunting!

I never understood the point of the Burnout games - but then I played it, my god, just a stupid amount of fun and action. Bring it on!

 

[Buba]

Read a test about it in a Mag where they give grade and 1,0 is the best and 6,0 the worst...

Got 1,0 -> nice, I wanna play it..

must... wait... until... xbox360..., can... not... buy...

argh.. why do they do these things to me

 

[jayjaya29]

I burnout so much, I played the demo on Xbox and I'm definitely going to get this version.

 

[Viper007Bond]

Just like LA Rush, the a playable demo of this is on the latest Playstation Magazine disc. I haven't had a chance to play this one yet, but my sister says it's fun and a lot better than LA Rush.

 

[jayjaya29]

I played the Burnout demo track a least 50 times now. :lol: Its so much fun.

 

[SL65]

IM GETTING THE GAME 2MORRO!! Its a couple days early, not a bad thing

 

[jayjaya29]

How are you getting the game early? Lucky man.

How are you getting the game early? Lucky man.

No I didnt get it, it was too good to be true Coming on the 15th here in Aus In the meanwhile I play B3 to prepare

 

[jayjaya29]

Yep the 15th, I'm trying to convince my brother to buy the game, I don't want to split the price with him. 8)

 

[Janus]

Coming on the 15th here in Aus

Yeah....sure.....okay.....
That is unless you know how to use torrents (and have a chipped PS2). I'm enjoying both Burnout: Revenge for PS2 and Burnout: Legends for PSP at the moment....both before their release date.

 

[Olds442]

Got it and played it. Fun Fun Fun!

 

[hokiethang]

Got it and played it. Fun Fun Fun!

Damnit, Its so difficult for me, especially since I want to wait until it comes out for the xbox360, even though that won't be until 2006 . The game better rock for that added 4 months of additional work.

 

[Olds442]

It is real good. Some differences to Burnout 3.
The Crash junctions don't have pick-ups this time. Instead a Crashbreaker bar fills up and then you blow up as the carnage ensues.
There is another type of race where you have to smash traffic and cause chain reactions before time runs out.
The race AI is better, harder.
The whole game is presented in a darker environment.

 

[jayjaya29]

Sweet, I'm picking it up tonight. I read a few reviews, it going to be awesome.

 

[jayjaya29]

I've been playing it for 5 hours straight, its so much fun!!!

 

[SL65]

I've been playing it for 5 hours straight, its so much fun!!!

Stop it your killing me I realised I kinda dont have much money for the game so I might wait til its available for rent (2-weeks!!).

So how is that new feature in the game....the one where you can crash into traffic and use them as a mean of takeing-down your opponents?

 

[jayjaya29]

Its really different if you have played the other games. My bro and I played, and he was playing it for a few hours before I got home, he kept on winning, I eventually realized that you can hit the traffic going the same direction you are going, I was used to dodging them. Its really fun once you get used to it, just WHAM and the car goes flying. To do takedowns on the oppenents, its really fun to hit a traffic car right into them. Its a neat feature, I enjoy it a lot.
The tracks are a lot of fun too, they are large with many many shortcuts here and there, its a lot of fun.

 

[Narcolepsy]

I know this thread is long dead - but I just picked up the game used and I love it. It's graphics are so wonderfully vivid and the physics be damned fun is fantastic. Its more about crashing than driving, so I wouldn't recomend it for anyone who gives a damn about realism.

Anyway - I was really impressed by the cars. They are just amalgamations based on bits, details and shapes of other cars. Still the designs are wonderful. They stir me more than many concepts on the horizon. I even prefer the styling to some of the cars the details are lifted from. I really wish someone had built these.
