Burnout Revenge

Burnout Revenge is the latest in this action racing series. As always, the focus of the game is on the absolutely beautiful crashes. This sequel manages to keep what was good about the previous games, and add a few things to make it even better. Everything is faster, which is always a good thing in this genre.

Any car going the same direction as you are can be turned into a weapon. This is known as checking. If you hit one just right, you can send it into the oppostie lane, hopefully into an opponent, taking him down. You can also send checked traffic flying off behind your car, creating obstacles for other racers.

Even more interesting perhaps than the whole checking thing are the new track layouts. There are many more choices to make in running a track now. There are shortcuts, and various alternate routes that allow you to fly down on top of another car for a stunning vertical takedown. When playing online, these shortcuts can also server as hiding places.

As with previous incarnations of the game, loading screens tend to appear too frequently, although in crash mode loading time is at least made a bit more entertaining with a “rewind time” sort of feature.
