Burnout Revenge

i played this game on xbox 360 and liked it...but for some reason, i LOVE it on the original xbox. its fast...fun...the areas you race in are beautiful and long..the graphics are excellent for the xbox...this is THEE racing game for the xbox, hands down, no other racing game can stack up, not even Burnout Paradise. nothing else i can say really, you just need to own this now..

iLL .

I have had this game for a long time and recently purchased another to replace an over-used original copy. It's a great game and one of my favorites of all time.

Burnout: Revenge is the fourth [4th] Burnout game that has been released [not counting the ones on handheld portable gaming consoles], and is also the first one to be released on a "next-gen" console [the Xbox360]. In Revenge, the Burnout series takes a small step away from it's bright colors and light-hearted theme towards a more mature, grittier one [see: the darker/edgier soundtrack, as compared with the ones in previous Burnouts], and also adds new types of takedowns [for instance, the Vertical Takedown, accomplished when the player lands his car on top of a rival's] along with new racing modes [i.e.: Traffic Attack, where your objective is to keep the clock running by smashing ["checking"] traffic on the road, until you reach a specified dollar amount in damages to get a bronze, silver, or gold medal]. Obviously, new cars, along with new tracks are added. I don't recommend this game [or any of the Burnout series] to beginning gamers, as the sheer speed of the cars racing along tracks along with you, combined with the amount of mayhem that goes on around you, can be overwhelming. The Xbox [original, not the 360] version I bought looks absolutely stunning, and I'm frankly surprised the machine can handle so many things going on at once.

My ratings:

Gameplay [controls, fun factor, ease of use]: 9/10
Graphics: 10/10
Sound: 10/10
Lasting Appeal: 8/10

Overall: 9/10

In some ways I kinda regret not waiting until I got my Xbox 360, and bought this game for that instead of my old Xbox. But when playing this game that regret immediately wears off. The action racing is still among the best in gaming, crashing your opponents is still very satisfying, the graphics are still great, the cities are still great, and the crashing is still amazing. Unlocking stuff is still a lot of fun as well, and is well worth the challenging tasks given to you. So if you like crashing your opponents during a race, and you like adrenaline rushes, this is most definitely without one helluva choice for you.

BEST RACING GAME EVER!!! TRUST ME! JUST BUY IT. WARNING! DONT BUY IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO AWESOME, SPEED, REALISTIC GRAPHICS, OR FAST CARS!!!!!!!!YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
