Gamespot

Burnout Revenge' s new features sound quite interesting. And it has somthing that I think should be a must for most action intense games - Savable(sp?) Replays! It' s nothing amazing but it certainly is enjoyable...to me at least. So many moments in games that I just wish I could see over and over again and show others.

And the new online feature giving you a bigger purpose in the races aside form just driving. Giving you a target a focus prior to the race just sounds like a cool additon.


I cant wait to see the first crash video.

I' m impressed. The game is coming along in leaps and bounds from the first pictures I' ve seen (posted there on gamespot july 14th) Funnily it' s looking at it' s best the more the cars get recked. I don' t know i the replay feature is enough to warrent me bying this version for 360... I' ve a feeling a new truly next gen Burnout will be worth waiting for.

It does seem though that you can count on those Criterion chaps.

Burnout Revenge will be the first Xbox360 game actually worth owning, I think. I don' t care about replays. In fact I hate it when games automatically try to show me a replay after every race I finish, like I WANT to see it or some such nonsense. I like how Mario Kart DS does not force this upon you, yet you can still watch a replay by selecting it if you want.

Could just be Japanese vs American programmers, whereas Japanese are better.

I hate those fucks from EA - all their games take most ideas from either Burnout or SSX.I luv SSX , but OutRun 2 is way cooler as an Arcade racer for me - I' ll go for quality over quantity.

Mario Karts - It' s unbelievable how precise and cool the contol is considering that DS lacks the analog stick.

To be fair EA do have some good games and they can make sure the Burnout games reach the widest audiance. They are vastly superior to the NFS games. From what I can tell Most Wanted steals some of Burnout' s ideas... featuring some takedown action and crashes and stuff.

Even though I own and have played through most of Revenge for my Xbox I might have to pick up the 360 version.
