You can now use same-lane traffic to gain an advantage as both a torpedo - hitting them into opponents or a wall - or as a means to gain boost. There are some new things added to the mix, namely same-lane traffic hitting. Some of the vehicles in this game max out at over 200 miles per hour. While some of the white-knuckle panic play might be gone, there is a greater sense of speed in Burnout Revenge. That’s pretty much gone in Burnout Revenge. One of the biggest assets that this franchise had was the “holy crap” factor. There are a few moments like that in Revenge where I felt the same way, but the frequency of that has been dramatically decreased by your access to side routes, even though the computer AI seems more aggressive in this iteration. The same can be said for Crash Battle, where one person will likely monopolize all of the traffic damage.Ĭlose calls were one of the coolest parts of Burnout 3: Takedown. Traffic Attack’s main problem is the goal the player with the most damage (in terms of cash) wins, with the problem being that if one player gets a jump on the traffic, he or she will leave little, if any, traffic for the opponent. I’ve noticed two glaring problems with the multi-player, both being game modes. Most allow you to select a vehicle, a location, a track, and so forth. The multiplayer modes include Race, Road Rage, Traffic Attack, Crash Battle, Crash Party, and Crash Tour. The multiplayer mode has a two-player split-screen option or six-player pass-the-controller option, as well as online modes (which are no longer active, obviously). There are also Crashbreaker events for Race, Road Rage, and Eliminator, which allow you to explode your car if you crash, depending on if you have a speed boost. Finally, there’s Elimination, where the last place car of six is eliminated every 30 seconds. The racer with the most points at the end of the GP wins. Grand Prix is a series of three races, earning points for your place in each race. Road Rage has you meet a certain Takedown target. In Crash, you try to ensure as much damage (valued in cash) as possible at a given intersection. Race is two laps against six competing opponents. Traffic Attack has you check traffic, causing as much damage as possible in the allotted time. Burning Lap is a race where you complete a lap in a given amount of time. You can earn stars in seven different game modes. Gold awards move your rating up one place, so “Good” becomes “Great,” “Great” becomes “Awesome,” and “Awesome” becomes “Perfect.” Your overall rating determines how many stars you get, which in turn unlocks new events and new rides. With each rating, an award (Bronze, Silver, Gold) is issued. So while you might want to be the first person to reach the goal, how you get there and what you do to get there will determine what rating you receive. Through each race, you’ll be earning a rating of “OK,” “Good,” “Great,” or “Awesome” for your speed, aggression, use of nitro, and other variables. The single-player experience in Burnout Revenge (World Tour) plays out a lot like Burnout 3, with snazzier cutscenes and slightly more differentiation between races. In are back-alleys and whatever shortcuts you can come across, whether through the Los Angeles River’s cement surface or through industrial buildings in Detroit. Gone are the heavily-populated streets of the downtown Chicago track from Burnout 3, where cruising along the elevated train line could often prove hazardous. But there are other locales as well, including a similarly run-down Los Angeles, lush waterway races through Miami, and a historic race through Rome. The marketing for the game focused heavily on down and dirty racing in the Motor City with its dilapidated buildings and bulky, post-industrial vibe. The game itself takes place over a large number of courses, spanning the greater United States and into Europe and Asia. This helps keep the servers on and pay our writers.
