Wydana przez studio Criterion Games, gra wprowadza szereg nowych funkcji i udoskonaleń, które podnoszą jej intensywność i emocje.

    Jednym z najbardziej wyróżniających się elementów w Burnout Revenge jest system "Revenge". Kiedy inni zawodnicy próbują nas zepchnąć z trasy lub zniszczyć, możemy wykorzystać mechanizm "Revenge", który pozwala nam na wzmożoną szybkość i niemal niezniszczalność, aby zemścić się na naszych rywalach. To niesamowicie satysfakcjonujące i dodaje dodatkowego poziomu strategii do rozgrywki.

    Grafika w Burnout Revenge jest imponująca i idzie w parze z wysokim tempem gry. Efekty wizualne podczas wyścigów, wypadków i zniszczeń są spektakularne, a modele samochodów są szczegółowe i realistyczne. Ścieżka dźwiękowa również przyczynia się do atmosfery, oferując dynamiczną i energetyczną muzykę, która idealnie pasuje do szybkości i chaosu na ekranie.

    Tryby rozgrywki w Burnout Revenge są różnorodne i oferują mnóstwo zabawy. Oprócz standardowych wyścigów, mamy również tryb "Traffic Attack", w którym musimy spowodować jak najwięcej zniszczeń wśród ruchu ulicznego w określonym czasie. Tryb "Crash Mode" powraca również z poprzednich odsłon, umożliwiając nam wywoływanie spektakularnych wypadków samochodowych w celu zdobycia punktów.

    Jednym z niewielu mankamentów Burnout Revenge jest brak większych innowacji w porównaniu do poprzednich części serii. Choć wprowadza kilka nowych funkcji, niektórzy gracze mogą poczuć, że gra jest w dużej mierze podobna do poprzednich odsłon. Jednak dla fanów serii i miłośników szybkich i ekscytujących wyścigów, Burnout Revenge wciąż dostarcza ogromną ilość zabawy.

    Podsumowując, Burnout Revenge to wciąż doskonała gra wyścigowa, która oferuje ogromne dawki adrenaliny i destrukcji. System "Revenge" dodaje nowy wymiar do rozgrywki, a grafika i dźwięk tworzą niezapomnianą atmosferę. Mimo braku większych innowacji, Burnout Revenge nadal jest niezwykle satysfakcjonującym doświadczeniem dla fanów gatunku i godnym uwagi.    … Expand

    the game is good but its problem is the amount of things on the track to make you crash, apart from the fact that the car is so fast that you do not see anything that is coming ahead!

    The first Burnout game I ever played and the game I will still play to this day! The new feature of the game Traffic Attack was a fun feature but extremely challenging in the end.

The new feature of the game Traffic Attack was a fun feature but extremely challenging in the end. Putting a timer into Eliminator adds more tension and pressure to the player which is better than doing a lap around the track before the last person passes the start/finish line.

    Bringing back the Signature takedowns from B3: Takedown was one of my favorite challenges ever to grind for 100% completion, the challenge sheet for each location were reasonable challenges to getting a special vehicle from that place satisfying, and the Final prize for 100%-ing the game is incredibly worth it since the car is the only car to surpass 209 mph!

    The line on the back of the game cover "Forgiveness is for Losers" is a perfect line for the game's title! Since another new feature that Criterion added was called "Revenge Rivals" where if another racer takes you down they will be indicated by red arrow above the car and it gives you a chance to get revenge on them. That's why the game is called Revenge, not just Burnout 4.

    Crash mode changes drastically from Burnout 3 which doesn't upset me at all, since Criterion wanted to added some difficulty to the mode. Removing all the power-ups like the Cash Bonuses, Multipliers, & the Heartbreaker can leave players mixed between which Crash mode is their favorite of the series. I love that you can choose race or crash vehicles for the Crash junction. But my favorite part of Crash mode is using multiple Crashbreakers in one junction depending on well you're doing.

    Online Play is brought back from Burnout 3, which brings back world rankings & Team Road Rage. (I personally didn't play online play because I didn't know to play online in the first place, I was only 4 years old when I played this game that's a year after the game came out, & none of my siblings wanted to play this game but me). They even bring Revenge Rivals to Online Play which is killer!

    Another small feature about Revenge I like is that you can unlock two crash vehicles for playing Madden 06 and Burnout 3 before saving a Revenge profile. The vehicles can give players a good start to Crash Mode (I'm personally trying to do this today to get the Madden Challenge Bus & the Dominator Assassin).

    Lastly, the Soundtrack is another feature I love so much, you have a variety of bands like Fall out Boy, All-American Rejects, The Starting Line, Avenged Sevenfold, The Chemical Brothers, The Great Scientists, Andy Hunter, LCD Soundsystem, Mindless Self-Indulgence, Asian Dub Foundation, and many more...

    The only thing I don't like about this Childhood Gem of mine is the Loading Screens because some of them can last for 30 seconds or longer.    … Expand

    I played all the other titles in the Burnout series, but they just don't come close to matching the pure speed that Revenge has. As the Detroit Free Press said in their review, it just "proves once again" why it is an absolute spectacle. I would totally recommend this to any gamer that wants a Gran Turismo-esque racer, but with the added carnage of a series like Grand Theft Auto.

    For anyone who has an interest in getting a Play Station 2, Original Xbox or Xbox 360. This is definitely one game to think about getting.

    Crashing constantly is great and also the graphics are very impressive. But playing the game feels a little old and dodging cars is still hard to do, I wish I could dodge easier for better fun. And their isn't very interesting characters at all nothing really much new to find here. My review 7.8.

With no real improvements necessary to make, for the fourth game they added this lame traffic-checking B.S., as if you're behind the wheel of a jet-powered bulldozer. The game still runs fast & smoth and looks great, but the challenge and tension in the previous two games is almost completely missing. Nothing more than a pathetic "feature" added for those who either lack skill or are easily discouraged by a game actually providing a challenge (gasp!). Burnout 3 still has yet to be trumped. Much like the NFS and Gran Tursimo series (and Sonic the Hedgehog), perhaps it's time for the developers to move on to completely different projects. Remember what happened with Tomb Raider.… Expand

    Its a good game, but since the first two were terrible, it is agree-able that this game's style is the same as the first two, as it is, this one should be terrible too. In that case this game is a ledtown and enchants the flow of the Burnout trilagy.
