Faint of Heart Need Not Apply,
As is usual with racing games, the objective is simple: cross the finish line before time runs out, and ahead of your opponents. However, the setup with Burnout is anything but simple. The streets you race on are fully populated, with over 300 different types of cars that serve no purpose but to get in your way. You’ve gotta run red lights, drive on the wrong side of the road, and swerve like mad around semis and tankers, or scream your way through downtown at rush hour – just like you’d always like to do in real life, right? Each time you narrowly miss a jolting collision, your Burnout Meter fills up. When it’s maxed, you hit the Boost button and try not to pass out from the sense of speed. If (make that WHEN) you screw up and hit another car, you’re treated to the most realistic, bone-crunching crashes ever seen in a game. You’ll wince every time, and you’ll take greater care in the future. Get some friends together and watch em all go “OOOOOOOOO!!!”
Sound good? Well, it should. Burnout concentrates on a supersonic thrill ride, and delivers with an ever-increasing sense of danger. Bearing down on a checkpoint with a few scant seconds remaining, CPU car on your tail, you screech around a turn at 130 mph…..and see a bus bearing down on you. What do you do? Burnout is a combination of Crazy Taxi and the car chases from the film “Ronin.” People who want a realistic racing engine and want to tweak their car’s suspension till kingdom come should stick to Gran Turismo. Burnout’s not the prettiest sight in gaming (although the tracks are rendered in surprisingly high detail and the game never budges from its smooth 60 frames per second) but there’s so much constantly happening you won’t notice, or care. This is an example of a game that’s chock full of gameplay, including a fantastic multiplayer mode, extra modes you can unlock (including the unbelievable Survival Mode, in which you must try and navigate one of the game’s 14 courses WITHOUT CRASHING…not easy at all), and even a Replay Mode for saving those especially horrendous accidents (and you’ll have em, trust me). There are several cars to choose from, including a Muscle Car and a Saloon, and even a Bus and Tow Truck!
Fewer and fewer games these days are relying on a completely riveting, yet simple gaming experience. Anyone who wants a high-speed challenge or an unmatched, relentless sense of danger is hereby required to try Burnout!
