    Very great game, but It's a little bit sad that you can't buy cars, and on original xbox this game looks better than on x360. But graphics are awesome, cars are fast and shiny. And as I said before this game looks cool.

    Disappointing. Liked Burnout3, this is a pointless purchase if you have that. Don't bother unless you're desperate to fill EA's coffers.

    More of the same. How many times can they put out the same game with better graphics and expect people to buy it?

    I seriously don't usually give out tens that easily. But this game is tons of fun, and once you play it it's very hard to put the controller down. And that what videogames are all about so this gets a deffinate ten. Also, it's much more than a simple upgrade from current gen versions. Amazing.

    What can I say. It's Burnout on the 360. Nuff said. I do have one complaint although it is minor. I noticed that if I play the game in 1080 i, it is too dark in some places and you end up crashing because you can't see. I ended up having to switch back to 480p. This deminishes the graphical wow factor only slightly. It still looks next gen, but just not quite as sharp. I What can I say. It's Burnout on the 360. Nuff said.

The XBox 360 version's Crash Mode was dumbed down from the regular XBox version's as a result of the exclusion of EA's familiar launch meter, but it's still fun, and having A CAMERA THAT I CAN MOVE is a very welcome improvement from Burnout 3. My only complaint about Burnout Revenge for the 360 is a tragic one: once again, EA's online implementation is an atrocity. Upon this game's release you couldn't go online with more than four people and despite advertising that you can have 6-player matches, there are STILL problems with the 5th and 6th contenders getting booted off within seconds of merely JOINING A LOBBY! Hey EA: there are other games out there that support 24 players on XBox Live (you make one or two of them) and that number could grow to about 50 in the not-too-distant future. Is there really any excuse for this?… Expand

    What an EA rip off, exactly the same game as 6 months ago, but more expensive! Save your cash and play the cheaper version on the Xbox. It's the same! Someone at EA should have put some effort into adding something to the game.

The first time you come flying off a jump and land on another car for a takedown, you will be truly amazed and it will keep you coming back for more! It is also quite satisfying when you finally take out an online rival that smashed you before (and who shows up with a red indicator so you know who you need to go after). The only downside to this game would be if you have the X-Box or PS2 version. If you do, I would only buy this game if you are really into the Burnout series because it is very similar to the prior version of the game, but it is graphically MUCH more beautiful to look at (and watch the cars smash apart)!… Expand

    Very addictive game that will last you for a long time. The single player is mindblowingly fast paced and fairly lengthy. Has great replay value due to the rating system. Multiplayer is also very fun and will last you a long time. I highly recommend this game!

    Josh is quite clearly deranged. Give a game a '0' because "the graphics haven't improved enough"?? Idiot. Sounds like an angry little boy throwing his toys out of his pram. The game is great.

The crashes and car-pile ups are fantastic to see. - some of the pile-ups are incredible. You get to drive a car into the middle of a busy road, then watch as cars, bused and tracks explode and crash into each other, then you can use your "Crashbreaker" which is simply just detonating a bomb and sending cars flying.... lots of fun. There are loads of crash junctions so you never ever seem to get bored. Unless you repeatedly did the same crash juction over and over again you might get bored. There is a pretty good replay mode too so you can re-live the entire crash sequence or race over and over. My only critiscism is that you can't move the camera yourself when watching Crash Mode replays... but that dosen't ruin the fun at all. You can do revenge races, grand prix's, crash modes and new this time around for burnout revenge is Traffic Attack in which you have to hit as much traffic as you possibly can. The sound in the game is good and the in-game music is fine. Although I've found that sometimes during the replay mode I can't hear the engine of the car or there will be no music for some reason. Even if you are pretty crap at racing games you'll still find Burnout Revenge lots of fun and the game is still passable at a bronze level etc. Or for those more experienced gamers you can try to get the more challenging gold medals at races. If you like arcade games and destruction or just racing games I'd recommend this. This is a must-have game for those who have Xbox 360's.… Expand

    Burnout Revenge is what it is... a pure shot of adrenaline, and nowhere is the adrenaline rush better than on the 360. Oh, and anyone who says that the graphics aren't a large improvement over the Xbox and PS2 versions really should see an optometrist, or maybe just upgrade to a television set worthy of this fine game.

    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.

    An excellent arcade racer that suffers simply because it's the exact same game released a year previously on the last console generation, just prettier making a purchase redundant to those who played it then. Those new to the game should check it out.

    HOLY CRAP!!! This game rocks! I played through the Xbox version and was reluctant to pick up the 360 version, but seeing the downloadable cars at Circuit City did it for me....and boy am I glad I did. If you haven't, you MUST play this on Xbox Live. It's the best Live game I've ever played (and I own GRAW).

After quite a bit of thought i bought it and am i glad i did!! The online part of this game is AMAZING with very little (if any at all) lag. The graphics are a step up from the old xbox although not outstanding. I particularly like the way that onscreen you can see how far ahead (or behind) the other players are. When one is catching you up you have a great urge to put your foot down. I had heard about the new online revenge element before buying and thought it would be quite lame but actually it's very good. When you take out another player (or are taken out) this is remembered by xbox live and so either later that same game or at anypoint in the future, the game will remind you that you took that player out before (or will remind you to get revenge if YOU were taken out). It's a very nice touch and i did find myself trying to get revenge on other players while partially ignoring others. Offline the single player seems to be pretty much as it was on the old xbox except for the nicer graphics. If you bought this on the old one and played it to death offline you probably won't want to spend your cash on this. However if you play on xbox live and want a great game which is good looking, exciting and lots of fun i'd recommend this to you.… 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.
