First game of the series not as good as its successors

User Rating: 7.4 | Burnout (Platinum) PS2
By PatsFanVince | Review Date:
Burnout is a arcade like racing game that is really know for its intense gameplay and crazy crashes. The cars in the game are just these plain generic cars that aren’t all that impressing and range from trucks to convertibles while you can even unlock secret cars. The graphics for this game are actually pretty decent but nothing to brag about but when your going fast the game does a good job of the motion blur effects. The sound is good its really dynamic and the crashes sound awesome. Gameplay wise its just like any other racing game, easy to get used to. If your looking for a fun arcade racing game to play with friends this one is for you.
