    You already know I’m a massive fan of the Burnout series so when Danger Zone came out last year I was eager to get to grips with it. Thankfully Danger Zone didn’t do too bad but for me it just fell short and I think they just tried a little too hard when trying to recreate the Burnout series. That being said I still had a lot of interest in Danger Zone 2 and in a way I was more excited forYou already know I’m a massive fan of the Burnout series so when Danger Zone came out last year I was eager to get to grips with it. Thankfully Danger Zone didn’t do too bad but for me it just fell short and I think they just tried a little too hard when trying to recreate the Burnout series. That being said I still had a lot of interest in Danger Zone 2 and in a way I was more excited for this game than the original because I was hoping they would sort out the problems that dogged the first game. Thankfully they’ve done just that and not only have they sorted out the problems that made the first game fall a little short but they’ve also improved what was already good about the first game. Without a doubt the biggest improvement for me came in the technichal side of the game. Danger Zone 2 has implemented much better controls this time around and the physics that accompany them combine with the controls flawlessly which makes the gameplay extremely fun and exciting. Speaking about the gameplay to say it’s addictive would be a massive understatement and you’ll be pleased to know that the game has a decent amount of content for you to be getting on with. Despite that it still would’ve been nice to have had more content because what’s here is fantastic so more content would’ve been awesome. The biggest addition this time around comes in the form of the Crash Mode. The Crash Mode which was fantastic in the Burnout series is also very good here and you will no doubt return to this mode time and time again. You’ll be pleased to know then that you can play this and every other mode with a decent variety of cars at your disposal. Each car plays and feels different so trying each car out is worth it and trust me when I say that each car will provide you with plenty of exhilarating moments. Whilst the cars were all excellent to drive and crash I still would’ve liked a little bit more realism when it came to the car damage. Crashing cars at high speeds should result in multiple areas of damage but unfortunately that’s not the case. Realism isn’t a problem though when it comes to the presentation side of the game. This time around both the visuals and sound design have more polish than they did in the original and this definitely makes the game even more of an immersive experience. At the end of the day if you were a fan of the Burnout series and a fan of the first Danger Zone then you will absolutely love Danger Zone 2. Everything across the board feels improved this time around and that makes things even more exciting and addictive, and when it’s all said and done I can’t recommend this game enough.… Expand

    Danger Zone 2 isn’t a terrible game by any means, but it is bare bone and almost devoid of any personality. It’s a fun distraction in short bursts if you really like climbing leaderboards, but there’s no longevity. There’s no soundtrack, no multiplayer, no replays and the menu system looks as tacked on as it gets. At $10 I could see it being a hard sell, but fun for those of us that miss the classic Burnout days, but the problem is, it’s being sold for double that. $20 for a single game mode from a classic just isn’t enough when it doesn’t even match its quality and personality. That, and there’s no Kenny Loggins.

    A great improvement over the original that almost nails the aesthetic and feel of the games it lovingly recreates even if it is a little rough around the edges. For those yearning for Burnout’s Crash mode or that just enjoy score attack games there is a lot to enjoy here!

    I had high hopes for Danger Zone 2 following the first one, but as it is in its current state, I cannot recommend it at all over the initial offering. It has features such as real-world locations and Run-Up Objectives, but these cannot disguise the many bugs and overall haphazard state of the game. Patches have been promised, but it will take quite a few to get this game up to speed.
