    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.

    Everyone wants to play this game at my house. Even non-gamers love it play it. Now that said.. I too have issues where my brand new HD TV 'CRT' is too dark in some areas either in 720p or 1080i. I had to move back to 480 and it's cleared up. I'm not finding this a real problem because gameplay is the same but screen is slightly fuzzier after seeing both.

    This is a really fun game! Great graphics, great gameplay, and LOTS of stuff to do both in single player and online.

Lots of fun maps to race through, with interesting shortcuts to be found (and plowed through). 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.

Games such as this, PGR3, and COD2 deserve a lot of credit for being this good so soon in the lifetime of the console.… 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.

    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

    I am glad I bought this game instead of Ridge Racer or NFS. This games is incredibly awesome with super awesomely fast turbo boost which makes the races much more fun. I feel so amazing when I play this game, using beautifully-designed cars with super fast turbo. Feels like a real racing. I absolutely love this game and I am still playing it.

    This is easily the best arcade-style racing game on Xbox 360. It is so much more fun than those racing games we get nowadays. It also has 2player splitscreen, which makes it even more awesome. If you like to have fun and if you like fast racing games, you're gonna love this game !! :D

Wydana przez studio Criterion Games, gra wprowadza szereg nowych funkcji i udoskonaleń, które podnoszą jej intensywność i emocje.

    Jednym z najbardziej wyróżniających się elementów w Burnout Revenge jest system "Revenge". Kiedy inni zawodnicy próbują nas zepchnąć z trasy lub zniszczyć, możemy wykorzystać mechanizm "Revenge", który pozwala nam na wzmożoną szybkość i niemal niezniszczalność, aby zemścić się na naszych rywalach. To niesamowicie satysfakcjonujące i dodaje dodatkowego poziomu strategii do rozgrywki.

    Grafika w Burnout Revenge jest imponująca i idzie w parze z wysokim tempem gry. Efekty wizualne podczas wyścigów, wypadków i zniszczeń są spektakularne, a modele samochodów są szczegółowe i realistyczne. Ścieżka dźwiękowa również przyczynia się do atmosfery, oferując dynamiczną i energetyczną muzykę, która idealnie pasuje do szybkości i chaosu na ekranie.

    Tryby rozgrywki w Burnout Revenge są różnorodne i oferują mnóstwo zabawy. Oprócz standardowych wyścigów, mamy również tryb "Traffic Attack", w którym musimy spowodować jak najwięcej zniszczeń wśród ruchu ulicznego w określonym czasie. Tryb "Crash Mode" powraca również z poprzednich odsłon, umożliwiając nam wywoływanie spektakularnych wypadków samochodowych w celu zdobycia punktów.

    Jednym z niewielu mankamentów Burnout Revenge jest brak większych innowacji w porównaniu do poprzednich części serii. Choć wprowadza kilka nowych funkcji, niektórzy gracze mogą poczuć, że gra jest w dużej mierze podobna do poprzednich odsłon. Jednak dla fanów serii i miłośników szybkich i ekscytujących wyścigów, Burnout Revenge wciąż dostarcza ogromną ilość zabawy.

    Podsumowując, Burnout Revenge to wciąż doskonała gra wyścigowa, która oferuje ogromne dawki adrenaliny i destrukcji. System "Revenge" dodaje nowy wymiar do rozgrywki, a grafika i dźwięk tworzą niezapomnianą atmosferę. Mimo braku większych innowacji, Burnout Revenge nadal jest niezwykle satysfakcjonującym doświadczeniem dla fanów gatunku i godnym uwagi.    … Expand

Burnout Revenge introduced the revenge system for online play which kept a counter of how many times you had been taken down by a particular player, to know whether or not you must settle the score and vice versa. Burnout Revenge most notably improved on track design - implementing several shortcuts around the track to explore or avoid track. This move by the developers added incredible amounts of depth to the series and allowed players to strategise the best possible route to take to either or avoid traffic, or avoid other players. I played this game for thousands of hours, and it is by far one of the best games I've ever played, and the best Burnout game in the series!… 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.
