Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Like your racing games fast, furious and full of spectacular smashes? You're in luck. With Burnout, Acclaim remove all pretence of going for a serious simulation and instead serve up a delicious dish of pure arcade fun. There are two key selling points to the game--the speed the action runs at and the spectacular crashes. To facilitate these, the set-up couldn't be more straightforward, with the simple aim to be first past the post. You can increase your chances of this by driving more dangerously, although that comes with obvious pitfalls in the shape of those aforementioned smashes. Suffice to say, though, to get through the game you're going to have to take your chances. Contrary to the serious approach of racing simulators like the PS2's Gran Turismo 3, this is foot-to-the-pedal stuff, and tremendously good fun to play. And when you do put your proverbial foot down, get ready to move, for this is a blisteringly fast title that deceptively requires more concentration than it would first appear. The downside is that it won't appeal to those who like their racing games nice and serious, nor to those looking for anything particularly innovative. For Burnout has few qualms about marrying the power of the GameCube to a game engine that forsakes bells and whistles for speed, destruction and sheer good fun. Fortunately, in this case, it's all the better for it, making it a real four-wheel treat. --Simon Brew Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Burnout - original an bestI am the proud owner of a nintendo gamecube. the first game i purchased was burnout, and because of how good it was i went out and bought burnout 2. after playing both however i found burnout 1 to be the best and represents outstanding value for money as i bought it for 8quid Rating: - Stunning visuals with great gameplay!Wow, this game is intense! Burnout is one of my favourite games to date. If you like realistic racers, that dive into reality, then Burnout is a must. Better than todays latest titles like need for speed and other racers, due to the fact that it is based on speed, and crashes. Hit a car and watch the stunning replay show your crash. Many people do complain about the time it takes, but it holds you up for a little, but so it should if you have just crashed, then you restart a bit further along the course. I think the punishment for crashing is great. You usually get restarted just infront of the second place driver, but they just overtake you as you restart. Trying to defend your position by looking in your rear-view mirror, trying ... Read More: Rating: - Fun, fun, fun ...What a FUN game this is. It's totally engrosing. All my family love playing it (even the wife!). Really, there's no problem with the crash replays! In MOST car games you have a few seconds pause after a crash whilst the car is put back on the road. It happen's in Mario Kart Double Dash. Yet people grumble about it happening in Burnout because they replace the 2-3 sec pause with a crash replay !!! It certainly makes the watchers stand in awe at an excellent crash and gasp in disbelieve ... Yummy game. And I certainly will be buying Burnout 2 for GC. Rating: - BurnoutThe first time you powerslide round a corner, adjust the oversteer and squeeze between a bus and an 18 wheeler truck, you know that this is a good game. This is no sim, far from it. It has an all-round arcadey feel, its not the just the handling of the cars, from the scoreboards to music and backgrounds. As with nearly all GC games, the graphics are pretty damn good. Something that doesnt come with all gc games is the playability. I managed to complete the championship mode in about a week, and im no michael schumacher. there are some secret modes and vehicles to unlock, but these aren't so hard to complete, within two weeks i had finished everything. The two things that let Burnout down is the playabilty and crashes. If you're going over ... Read More: Rating: - twice as good on GamecubeBurnout on Gamecube dominates the driving genre. It has excellent Graphics and the courses layouts are all truly excellent. It has an amazing sense of speed and all runs smoothly, even if you are travelling at 150mph throgh a motorway full of cars, all as impressive as each other. Every car around you reflects it's surroundings realistically, but moving at such speeds often means that you do not have time to admire the awsome graphics. Many people complained that the crash replays were just annoying, but a good crash looks incredible as you flip through the air at high speed, causing huge pileups as you go. At the end of the race, the game adds up the damage cost, and puts you on the 'worst drivers list' if yours is the highest. So what is ... Read More: |
