You will not believe how exciting this game is. Burnout features the kind of on-the-edge-of-your-seat action that made movies like "Speed" a success.
-
There will be times when you get so frustrated you'll throw the controller down in frustration, but 5 minutes later you're picking it back because the game is not only challenging, but fun.
-
This is a fantastic game and is worth buying, but don’t be surprised when it burns out of replay value a month down the line.

Official Xbox MagazineA colorful and stylish game that is blisteringly quick – if a bit technically dated. [June 2002, p.76]
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyProvides the most intense street-racing rush I've ever experienced in a video game. [July 2002, p.124]
-
An arcade racer with tight controls and graphics, plays great and a blast to watch.
-
Game InformerWhile lacking in substance – primarily cars – Burnout excels in delivering edge of your seat racing. [June 2002, p.83]
-
A dedicated gamer can beat Burnout in a weekend's time, so only purchase it if you're planning on enjoying the well-done two-player mode and unlocking the extra goodies like the extra vehicles.
-
There's enough meat on Burnout's bones to provide an engaging, albeit unoriginal, take on arcade racing.
-
Xbox Nation MagazineA solid competitor - fast and fun and oddly addictive. [Summer 2002, p.93]
-
If it's depth you want you'll be disappointed, but if you want to lose yourself in a high-speed car chase or force your buddies into a head-on, this one's for you.
-
Comfortable, basic controls make the game widely accessible.
-
The crashes are a great gimmick, but after the first couple of hours the replays become more of a nuisance than a positive effect.
