    The amount of content, the sensation of speed and the overall gameplay are alright in Dangerous Driving. The rest of the game isn't. There are huge frame rate issues and graphically the game is pretty weak and the motion blur is used far too much for its own good. The AI is atrocious and we haven't even discussed the bugs that are all over the place. And the soundtrack? There isn't one. Not recommended at all.

    Dangerous Driving is like mini bikes experienced by the oldest of us. It's not super pretty, it's very simple and we still have nice moments with it. By cons, you don't want friends to see you with it. We can forgive its wanderings when we know that it is developed "in a garage" with very limited funds. But in this case, he must not claim such prestigious legacies as Burnout, for which we are still waiting for a successor to the excellent "Paradise" episode.

    Though Dangerous Driving attempts to tap into Burnout’s lineage, its numerous bugs and lack of polish fail to capture the spirit of its inspiration.

    I’d like to say that Dangerous Driving has some redeeming qualities. After all, it was possibly my most anticipated game for 2019, thanks to Danger Zone 2 making me eager to see what Three Fields Entertainment were building towards. Instead, we get this…thing. It’s a thorough disappointment, and I can’t help but feel like everything about it could have been improved substantially.

    Though it’s abundant in hyper-realistic visuals, that isn’t enough to disguise its lack of polish in almost every other way.

    The spirit of Burnout returns in a game that trades big-budget spectacle for pure speed. [Eurogamer Recommended]

However there's absolutely no music outside of the main menu. If you want music in the game you have to have a Spotify Premium subscription. Frankly this is ridiculous and I'd expect at least an original soundtrack in lieu of the Spotify integration if I'm not signed into Spotify.… Full Review »

    Rather than start out with an homage to Burnout 1, a fairly straightforward arcade racer with comparably little spectacle, Three FieldsRather than start out with an homage to Burnout 1, a fairly straightforward arcade racer with comparably little spectacle, Three Fields attempted to recreate the mechanics of three entire Burnout games with Dangerous Driving. Given the small team size, it‘s not surprising that the game sometimes falls apart at the seams under the weight of this ambition. The game‘s often glitchy nature can lead to frustration when wonky collision detection robs you of a hard-earned victory. But the market for Burnout-style arcade racing has undoubtedly been underserved in recent years and thankfully Dangerous Driving’s exhilarating sense of speed and wanton destruction is enough to satiate that appetite.… Full Review »

    Unfortunately, the small development team and even smaller budget really shine through in this finished title. While this game had someUnfortunately, the small development team and even smaller budget really shine through in this finished title. While this game had some extremely talented people working behind it, you just can't help but thirst for something better - A true big budget Burnout successor. The game play here takes many aspects from the first three burnout games, with its presentation taking huge inspiration from Burnout 3. As a fan of nearly every Burnout video game out there (even the less than stellar ones like Burnout Dominator with a laughable 76 on this site), I can't help but have such mixed feelings about this title.

    One of the most iconic feats of the Burnout series ever since the 2001 original is the fantastic feeling of speed and brutal crashes. While the high octane racing is surely here and a very welcome change to the usual racing sims we've been getting in recent years, other aspects of the game just fall short.
    One of the Burnout series's biggest draws is that even during a crash, the player isn't too disappointed since the spectacle of the wrecks certainly was something to behold. The problem with this game is that the crashes look less impressive than the original Burnout game released nearly 18 years ago on the Playstation 2.

    The truly unimpressive crashes tie well into another issue with the game which is the lackluster graphics. Once again, I understand that this title has a very small development team and budget, but I couldn't help but notice that the graphics themselves were still less impressive than the previously mentioned Burnout from 2001. One of my favorite aspects of the old Burnout games was the incredible graphics running at a silky smooth 60 fps at an increased resolution of 480p (with the exception of the original title). While this game generally runs at a high frame rate without many dips below 60, I couldn't help but be let down by the graphics.

    Overall as a Burnout fan there is plenty to enjoy with Dangerous Driving, but the $30 price tag for what can only be described as an okay indie game just feels like a bit of a rip.
