    Pure arcade fun. Not too complicated. A few flaws are present but nothing serious. Great game for those of us who just want to drive way to fast in traffic. Love the crashes!!!!

    A solid competitor - fast and fun and oddly addictive. [Summer 2002, p.93]
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
