    Fun game, very reminiscent of Burnout 2 and 3. 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.

    Rather 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.… Expand

    For people like me that missed Burnout Games for long time (for me, the last good game was Burnout Revenge) this is a great game that will make you feel that nostalgia for good times on Burnout 1, 2 and 3. But for people that never played old Burnout games, the feeling is for a unfinished game with a lot of bugs and weird physics.

    Ok, we're not talking about a car simulator game but    For people like me that missed Burnout Games for long time (for me, the last good game was Burnout Revenge) this is a great game that will make you feel that nostalgia for good times on Burnout 1, 2 and 3. But for people that never played old Burnout games, the feeling is for a unfinished game with a lot of bugs and weird physics.

    Ok, we're not talking about a car simulator game but this game take the "Arcade Game" title too serious.

    Tha bad points about this game are the physics (as I mentioned above), for example, at one point of the game I saw that I'll collide with a traffic car, the car miraculously slipped to other side. In some gameplays that I watched, the car bounces when they fly and hit the floor, like a ping pong ball. Another bad point it's the lack of music (ok, I have a Spotify Premium Account but I can say that I learned to like the music that I like today with Burnout songs), and some details like when (in Burnout's games) the car crashes, the musics immediately stops, in Dangerous Driving, the music still playing. In the last bad point I can mention that the car don't really damage when hit, they just get some doors opened and kneaded.

    And as good points I can mention the the speed is insane like Burnout games (sometimes speeder), the action it's outstanding, Takedowns are really easy to do but the game is totally challenging, sometimes with a single hit you can give up your gold medal. The scenarios are really beatifuls but I miss some urban maps.

    But most of all, one thing that really impress me it's that Three Fields Entertaiment made this game with a few programmers and resources. They looked at this people that miss these Arcade Games and focused on them. I know that they will improve and fix these bugs or make a Dangerous Driving 2 (like Danger Zone 2 that it's MUCH BETTER than Danger Zone 1) but the simple fact that they have this initiative it's really impressive.    … Expand

    Dangerous Driving feels just like Burnout, but it doesn't look or sound the part. Due to Three Fields Entertainment's limitations, the game feels like it has a crisis of character. The gameplay is edgy, explosive and violent, while the snowy terrain glistens or the sun peeks over luscious mountaintops in the background, peppered with only the revving of your engine and the pitchy screech of your tires. The solemnity doesn't ruin the experience, but it'll make you scratch your head. At the end of the day, Dangerous Driving scratches a very specific itch that I'm sure many have been waiting to scratch —just like paint against a cold metal guardrail.

    Everything a Burnout fan could want is here, but it’s let down by poor AI. If you have the patience, however, Dangerous Driving is a worthy addition to PS4’s bare racing roster. [Issue@162, p.96]

    Dangerous Driving simply isn't suited to a mode that won't let you crash. Patched out, or left optional, these wouldn't be enough to stop most from happily reliving Burnout's heyday; currently, however, it would be reckless to recommend. [Issue#332, p.118]
