Absolutely blown away!!!!
You cannot go wrong with the recent Burnout games! The speed and adrenaline never dies out every time I play this game! Well, sometimes the game can get a little frustrating, but it's honestly one of the best buys for the Xbox 360.
Single player is actually one of the most addicting things I cannot put down. There are several types of races that they have, including regular racing, traffic attack, road rage, eliminator, and the new crashbreaker in races. There is also of course the crash mode where you stock up on money by crashing into traffic in one spot. Crashbreakers in races are originally from crash mode where you can blow up your vehicle, destroying everything in a certain radius, depending how much fire is in your boost meter. Now this feature has been included into the game where you can destroy not only nearby traffic, but other racers, too. That way, almost everyone can be on the same page every time it happens. All the other types of races are back and it cannot be hard to pick up especially playing these races on the Xbox 360.
The graphics to this game are phenomenal! I was so surprised with the details of damage comparing the Xbox version to the Xbox 360 version. You'll love how the doors, hoods, and trunks come flying every where once you crash your car. And the various places that you race are absolutely gorgeous! Lighting is implemented in this game and it looks absolutely fantastic!
Sound has still be the same from the previous games and there's nothing wrong with it. What I also like is that when you crash, you can hit impact time and the sound will be slow and distorted. Release the impact time button, and it'll go back to normal. The music tracks are great, too. It goes very well with the theme of the game.
I've mentioned that the game can get frustrating. And yes it can. There are instances where you are in first place, you feel that it's already over, and all of a sudden, you crash into a random oncoming car! Or you hit a barrier! It makes you really mad, but you can suck it up and just play it over again. It really gives the game replay value and will not be on your shelf too long collecting dust.
Multiplayer is pretty fun, too. You can share clips online, race with friends, and even have crash mode where you see who can get the most money damage.
All in all, Burnout Revenge is a great step towards the next-gen. I'm sure it plays awesome on an HD TV screen. Once I get one, I'll be playing this game and probably fail all my school or get fired. "Sorry, I was up all night!"
