    It has unbelievable graphic's, poor gameplay, dull features, and nothing special at all. When I played this game, I had a good time, but once I got so used of it, I sold it, you know why? Because it was boring playing the same 10 god forsaken levels over and over again, and just crashing into cars. At least having 1 race to make the game somewhat enjoyable.

I lost interest 2 hours into the game. And adding an adventure would be nice too, multiplayer can be so frustarting after a while. Because what if you were an only child and the game was multiplayer, you would have no other choice but to invite a friend over, but what if your a loner and don't have any friends, you invite your cousins, but what if there busy or on vacation. There are many risks in this game with no cheats, secret passage ways, and an amount of flaws. That is why a 0/10 is this game's main role, a horrid waste of time.… Expand

    J'y ai rejoué récemment, certes il porte son âge mais pour un jeu PS2, il est étonnamment beau et toujours fluide. Le conduite est bien sûr 100% arcade, ce qui devrait induire une bonne maniabilité mais ce n'est pas le cas : quand la merguez part en dérapage, ça devient très délicat à gérer, surtout à pleine vitesse dans le trafic très fourni et c'est particulièrement désagréable.

    Car évidemment l'accident, c'est une perte de temps qui s'avère trop souvent rédhibitoire en raison du compte à rebours et de l'IA qui triche et ne fait jamais d'erreur ou si peu... tout cela pour gonfler une durée de vie assez faible en fait. Frustrant et rapidement pénible, Burnout est un coup d'épée dans l'eau.    … Expand

    I like the mechanics. It feels good to drive. But I don’t like anything else. The music is boring, there are not really challenges. You just race alone for 6 minuets. It’s boring.

    This game borders on rot, it is difficult for several reasons, it has a short time to reach checkpoints, the tracks are long and with many turns, the number of vehicles in traffic is enormous, The screen is so serrated that you can't see what's in front of you. If this game has something positive, it's the way the car behaves in a crash, the car's playability, the dust particles when itThis game borders on rot, it is difficult for several reasons, it has a short time to reach checkpoints, the tracks are long and with many turns, the number of vehicles in traffic is enormous, The screen is so serrated that you can't see what's in front of you. If this game has something positive, it's the way the car behaves in a crash, the car's playability, the dust particles when it steps on a dirt floor , and a slow motion replay of all the accidents that happened during the race .

    There’s not anything earth-shatteringly new in Burnout, but overall it’s a lot of fun to play.

    AI concerns make driving into oncoming traffic easier than it should be, while the moderate, but not extensive amount of cars and tracks mean that you'll be able to wrap up single player in less than ten hours.

    A racing title that blends adrenaline-pumping racing action to its purest level. Excellent physics detection and even better physical car damage and being topped off with crisp sound makes Burnout a title that should not be overlooked.
