    Looks and feels exaclty like the Xbox 1 version...wait...it is the Xbox 1 version so I shouldn't be surprised that it is still blurry, has low res textures and it feels slower now. Another EA port, another reason the 360 is going ot be known as the last gen port machine that gets no upgrades and the machine that doesn't do next gen graphics. All because every developer so far Looks and feels exaclty like the Xbox 1 version...wait...it is the Xbox 1 version so I shouldn't be surprised that it is still blurry, has low res textures and it feels slower now.

    I'm not a fan of arcade racers at all and this game didn't change my mind. Boring repetetive and it also has hard achievements. Go for Dirt or PGR3 instead.

    Great game to play. But once I finished it, I didn't feel like playing it anymore. As a matter of fact... when I was halfway done with it, I started to feel that way. I liked a couple of the modes... but the others were just plain boring. The graphics were great, but the cars looked too similar to eachother, which made it hard to feel like a new car was important.

I'm glad burnout 5 will be an open world, cause maybe it will wash away all the bad taste in my mouth.… Expand

    Same game as always just each version has better graphics. Worth having when the kiddies come around, especially if you can pick it up cheap 9 out of 10 for kids under 8yrs, over that 6 out of 10

    Hey, my daughter recently bought this game on Amazon, but she says it is constantly freezing. Does anyone else have this problem? Was just wondering if it may be a problem with the game or her console.... If anyone has an answer, please email me @ browncrystal157@gmail.com so I can let her know. Please and thanks.

    Takedowns here are so unsatisfying, and that's enough reason for me to drop the game and don't look for good speed and drift there. I was hoping for crazy butt action, send rivals to walls, beat em with all I've got, but I just can't do that. It's a serious shame.

    Très drôle au début, on rigole bien pendant un certain temps devant tout ce bordel à l'écran, ce simulateur d'accidents défoncé au crash. Contre toute attente le jeu a bien vieilli graphiquement et on s'en prend encore plein la tronche. Cependant ça devient très répétitif malgré des modes assez distincts mais qui sont recyclés à l'infini dans une carrière trop longue.

Une heure de ce truc, on a les yeux qui sortent des orbites et on se bave dessus.

    Drôle ce Burnout Revenge donc, marrant, comme un clown qui a sniffé un rail de sécurité. Il est aussi rapide et furieux qu'un Wipeout HD Fury mais contrairement à ce dernier, aucune technique particulière n'est requise : c'est le bulbe rachidien qui s'occupe de tout. Burnout Revenge en fait 38 tonnes et malgré un système de jeu bien pensé finit par s'aplatir comme une crèpe.    … Expand

    It's basically Burnout 3 again, only... slightly worse.

    Once again, it is tons of fun to race through traffic at insane speeds with an energetic soundtrack and to smash other cars to pieces. BUT! If there was ever a game in need of more visual clarity, it is definitely this one. As is typical for this console generation, all the graphics just blend together into one big brown-grey-yellowish muck, and the oversaturated light/shadow-effects and the useless debris blocking your view don't exactly make it easier to see what's going on. Many times, when taking certain shortcuts, you basically just have to pray for things to work out, because you have absolutely no chance in hell of accurately perceiving which way to go and making the necessary adjustments in time. Add to that the fact that the developers apparently deemed it fun and necessary to add tons of little nooks and crannies and walls into the tracks, which you can crash into really easily if you're not super careful, and so the frustration factor can get pretty high pretty quickly. This is only exacerbated by the crash cam which lingers on the wreck of your car WAY too long for my taste. Just let me get back into the action already!

    Another thing that bothered me is how uncooperative the other cars seem to be when it comes to Takedowns. It can be suuuuper hard to take them down and maneuvers that you thought would result in a sure hit (and would have in Burnout 3) frequently don't do anything at all. Basically, the AI just flat out refuses to be taken down sometimes. On the other hand, you just crashing into a wall on your own seems to count as a Takedown for the AI really easily, as long as they're even somewhat close at the time, which is just BS.    … Expand

    Some purists may still be turned off by the confusing tracks and the "traffic-check" carnage, and there probably isn't enough new here to warrant a buy for those who have already played through Revenge last year, but the engine is running more smoothly than ever, adding another solid racer to the growing 360 garage.
