DGP: "Watching the gameplay video, I can’t help but feel that Burnout fans are going to be dismayed. It’s undoubtedly better suited as a downloadable PSN/XBLA, but in all honesty it looks like one of many free-to-play internet flash games: absolutely nothing screams Burnout to me."
Cultured Vultures: The Burnout series has plenty of great games to play, but which one is definitively the best? We're here to rank them all.
I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.
Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.
That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.
I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.
After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.
Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.
Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

um... yeah this looks like one of those miniclip games
I've seen turds that carried more appeal than that footage.
Way to kill the franchise EA.
Im glad they didnt try making a previous Burnout mode into a full retail game, which was my initial assumption of "Burnout Crash". I want a racing game. I want to select a track. I want a dark city tracks, San Fransisco map, sub-urban, free-way, heavy traffic, etc. different variety in tracks. WHY CANT I HAVE THIS?? Paradise gave me one giant map with hardly any variation and made me drive around looking for races. I shouldnt have to FIND a race in a racing game.
It takes a lot to disappoint Burnout fans, especially after Paradise was released when it was only half finished.
After the fans showed infinite patience waiting for fairly standards racing features like Day/Night cycles, Bikes, Weather, I would have thought they'd go all out for the bigger, better game.
Guess not.
No offense to Criterion Games, but Ive played Flash-Based games better than this. What they hell were they thinking?
