    very good and addictive but when you've been on Burnout 3 you'll leave this game on not play on it again.

    A great game that anyone would enjoy, at first the crashes look great but soon get a little boring and possibly annoying to some peaple, but this is nothing compared to the good side of the game. The cars are great and it's real fun.

    The best thing about this game is the "CRASH" mode simply because when it ends it shows the replay in slow motion and consequently you see every piece of the car breaking up which makes the gameplay more immersive.
    Taking into account that it is a 2002 game, the deformation of the cars is simply sensational Dust and smoke particles are not left out either.. they are perfect.

    The most pulsating, nut-chafing, wind-in-the-hair experiences that can be prised from a game console. [GamesMaster]

    The improved Burnout system really adds some much needed depth to the gameplay, whilst those graphics are going to astound you.

    It's still longer than the first game, and is better and more exciting than most of the other racers out there.
