    A solid competitor - fast and fun and oddly addictive. [Summer 2002, p.93]

    There's enough meat on Burnout's bones to provide an engaging, albeit unoriginal, take on arcade racing.

    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.

    The crashes are a great gimmick, but after the first couple of hours the replays become more of a nuisance than a positive effect.
  6. GamePro

    Comfortable, basic controls make the game widely accessible.
