    To jump online and totally beat the crap out of someone else's ride? That doesn't smack of fun to you?

    The game is solid. Especially on the multiplayer side of things.

    A few opportunities have been missed, however, most obvious of which is the rather small number of tracks, given their individual lengths.

    Perhaps if "Burnout 3" didn't exist, Crash 'n' Burn might have had a better chance. However, this is still an immensely enjoyable game for all destruction fans out there.

Visually it’s not stunning (anymore) but it still surprises with everything like debris, fire and car wrecks flying around populating most of the screen, it’s hard to believe that the PS2 could handle it. An instant recommendation for anyone not wanting to invest alot of time for a new game and like racing games crossed with the action of a Michael Bay movie.… Full Review »

    The game is cool especially its destruction but it is very difficult that it makes you frustrated!

The controls make you feel as if your car is basically a wooden box on wheels as you fly past all the crap left by the quite frankly stupid AI . The AI in this game are basically brain dead . As you avoid the debris to preserve your car life the AI will just plow through it and sometimes not even bother to avoid it. The AI can also get "confused" aka driving into walls brainlessly , running off ramps for no reason and slowly scraping off walls or just not moving at all. Customisation in this game is vast with different options to customise your cars . Only issue is that there are only 4 cars to choose from . Compact , Pickup , Muscle and Sports . All the cars basically look like generic toy cars you can find at a local bargin store and are squared out to have the game run smoothly. Overall Crash 'N' Burn can be a fun game if you can get passed the poor controls , stupid AI and repetition… Full Review »
