Review: Amusing Burnout Crash Does Neither (Wired)

Michael Venables writes: All in all, Burnout Crash is an amusing game. At times, the pile ups seem a little too staged and calculated, and I wanted more random scenarios of rampant demolition. Seeing the piles of cars “wrecked” together so similarly time after time got a little old after a while. Since the only time you have control of “placing” your car is after an explosion, more freedom to drive around as a junky wreck on fire (after the blast) would add more of a sense of control to the player who wants to take control of their mayhem, not to have their mayhem semi-staged. I did find the radio’s announcer’s voice to be irritating and somewhat distracting from my demolition action.

screw you, criterion. release a remastered version of burnout 3 for PSN and I will pay for it...other than that you can pound sand with this POS game.

gcolley5339d ago

you are one mad puppy

and i agree. i turned it off when it wouldn't let me play without turning kinect on and all the BS that goes with it. so i actually have no idea how the game plays even though i downloaded it. kinect just doesn't work very well in my loungeroom for some reason... even though i have the room??? just one frustrating experience... especially navigating menus.

I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.

camel_toad1749d ago

That mode was so damn fun. Couldn't believe it when they ditched it.

Flewid6381748d ago (Edited 1748d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381748d ago (Edited 1748d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1749d ago

Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.

Flewid6381748d ago

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.

Chocoburger1749d ago

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.

ChasterMies1749d ago

Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

Xenial1748d ago

As soon as I saw Burnout 3: Takedown at #1, I knew the list was legit. lol
