When viewed in high-definition, the glossy cars, detailed racetracks, and explosive physics of Burnout Revenge for the Xbox 360 are pretty impressive. But it's the high-speed crash scenes that really showcase what the game can do. Slam a competitor into the wall and watch as your rival's car crumples, flips, and emits a shower of sparks and broken metal.
Whether for watching NFL games, episodes of Lost, or Discovery Channel documentaries, consumers around the world are forking over serious cash for high-def TVs. During the first half of 2006, NPD Group says U.S. shoppers spent more than $4 billion on LCD and plasma TVs. According to iSuppli, shipments of HD displays should overtake analog cathode ray tubes (CRTs) by 2008.
All those shiny new TVs should entice gamers to upgrade to new consoles that offer high-def capabilities-or at least that's what console manufacturers hope. But with the cost for the latest high-def consoles soaring to over $500, it's still uncertain whether gamers will embrace the new trend.
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.

we are being forced into it!
HD gaming is the future of gaming. Both of the true "next-gen" systems are centered around it. And this will not change!
Is say "true next-gen" because I don't consider the Wii a "next-gen" system. Its a Gamecube with a new controller and online capbilities that will actually be used!
I just spent $2300
I own a Xbox 360, will shorty own a PS3, and many Next Gen Games. All of that for a beautiful display on a 50" plasma.
Yes, it is worth every penny to me, even if it is not for everyone.
