Burnout (2001)

No where near as fun as Burnout 3 or Burnout Revenge

User Rating: 7.3 | Burnout GC

The game was pretty good when it came out, but now it is not as good as Burnout 3 or Burnout Revenge.

OK, first is the gameplay. It is a good and fast racer, but there isn't much fun since there isn't lots of carnage and nocar combat, and there isn't much fun with boosting since there isn't any nitro blasts, and crashing isn't as good as the best Burnout games out there.

Then there's the graphics. Clean and decent, but not much detail like the best Burnout games.

There isn't as much fun with the sound since there there isn't any nitro blasting sounds, car parts and glass breaking, and not very good music and no radio host like in Burnout 3.

Rent this game before buying it.
