Only useable in single-player or a mode where there's one human user in the game, it basically slows down time and then with the analog stick you move your car, or should I say your wreckage, in any direction. Gameplay: So what's so great about it? Well first you gotta talk about aftertouch.

Burnout 3 takes the series to a whole new level where it's more than worthy of being a franchise for any console, and for the first time I'm really looking forward to the next entry in the series. The game is $20 now and even with Revenge around the corner, if you haven't seen or played this game at all, you have to play it. And to my surprise, I was spending the most time in the single player mode racing then just watching mindless crashes. To say I didn't have fun would be an understatement. I rented the game 3 times straight after then picked it up around christmas. Well, I open it up to find a score of 9.5 I was astonished, the graphics were amazing, the movies of the crashes had the best debris/particle effects ever, my jaw dropped.

Then I'm on a certain game site that has one of those read our full review and in the brief tidbit it says something about a new crash feature, so I checked it out thinking maybe it's worth another rental to check this crash feature out. I wasn't even following the game cuz I figured "it'll be just slightly better than Burnout 2". Then here comes Burnout 3 like out of nowhere. Burnout 2 I spent a lot of time in the crash mode where you and someone else take turns crashing, but I really didn't enjoy the racing aspect. Burnout 1 and 2 I used both a rental on and enjoyed it to a degree but really it wasn't that amazing. To be honest, it was hard not to sell this series off as just a game with car crashes. And if you're in need of a copy in 2018, you can pick up a digital version on the Xbox Store for £9.99.Overall: I really don't get why I see arcade machines in the mall for NFS:HP2 but not Burnout 3. "That's not to say it's not fun, because we had a blast", the 8/10 review concluded, "Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but in this case, taking the heat out of the game wasn't what we were hoping for." On the flipside, Eurogamer news don Tom Phillips reckons "Revenge > 3 > Paradise", so who knows what's real anymore.Īs ever, your original Xbox 360 disc version of Burnout Revenge should work right away once you pop it into your Xbox One. We can understand wanting to make it more accessible, but there really should have been a way to ramp up the difficulty level for us old hands." Criterion needed to keep the balance poised, but it wants to pander to the less skillful gamer to sell more. It's almost permanent Boosting should be a treat, a reward, but in Revenge you're spoiled rotten. However, what Burnout Revenge gained in mayhem, 2005 Eurogamer reckoned, it lost in challenge: "The main problem with racing in Revenge is that boosting is now virtually a given. Burnout has, after all, succeeded because of its utter rampaging ridiculousness." "Like a steel-toe-capped boot applied to a child's toy car collection, you sweep all before you in a blizzard of metallic destructive insanity," said Kristan Reed in his 2005 Burnout Revenge review, "It's utterly ridiculous, but in a sense entirely in-keeping with the progression of the series so far. It was developer Criterion's fourth major Burnout title, and was perhaps most notable for its new Traffic Checking feature - which essentially encouraged you to rear-end vehicles in a never-ending explosion of glass and metal in order to best the clock and rack up those gloriously shiny medals.
