Burnout Revenge

[MechDeus]

Everyone go for whe XBOX-Burnout Revenge Usa FULLDVD one?

Yep. Took eight hours for me.

I probably won't be online tonight and maybe not tomorrow night. I have this thing about having to play through games before taking them online (and yes, I know you have to unlock everything all over again for online anyway).

I've put in around nine hours with it so far and it's taking some time to get used to it. But then again so did 3 and I ended up thinking it was the best of the series.

I will say that this completely owns 3 in terms of presentation and graphics though.

[Rumpy]

The presentation is even more EA than 3 if you can imagine that.

[Jeremy]

How is that possible? Did they add more EA game billboards?

[Rumpy]

It's kinda hard to explain. The menu presentation just has that EA production feel on it (more so than 3). Best way to describe it is that it feels like you're navigating a Need for Speed menu, but when the game starts it's actually Burnout, so it's fun to play.

Some quick impressions after....5-6 hours of play.

Car designs are worlds better than 3.

I like how they dropped the icons from crashmode, but I'm not sure if I like the start meter that was added. Crash courses seem to take a long time to load too.

While pushing traffic has made the game really easy, it's unbelievably fun knocking the shit out of everything in sight.

Awesome track design. I love the choice of alternate routes and catching crazy air is the greatest.

The "shakey cam" effect after you hit a ramp in crashmode looks awesome.

Sound effects are the SHIT. This game is unreal with surround sound. I barely listened to the soundtrack but Custom Soundtracks are still the greatest option ever made.

The sense of speed is just NUTS.

That's my biggest complaint so far. You almost have to try to wreck into the actual traffic now.


I like the shift to 'battle racing' that 3 and R have brought to the table...but keep the element of dodging the other cars in as well. It's just making it all too easy.

I heard a few players discussing the demo version offered on Madden is supposedly BETTER than the retail edition in terms of graphics and gameplay. Anyone here with the demo able to comment whether or not there's truth to this claim?

And why don't I see you fuckers online? Send friend requests to "definit" if you aren't already on my list. That is all.

[WTFer]

so would you say the crash races are slower to load then Burnout3?
I hated the slow times in it
is it ANY BETTER?

I think I'd like a return to the older style myself, or give us an option for either style. The series has changed quite a bit since the beginning...still, I need to play further into Revenge to really see how I like the changes.

It shows you the crash course and then "rewinds" back to the car. Unless I haven't pushed the right button, you can't skip that "rewind" section and that seems to take the most time (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

As for the better part...are you asking about the loading or the mode itself? I think the crash levels I've seen so far ar much better than 3 and giving the boot to the icons had to be done. That 4x multiplier in 3 ruined the crashmode.

I'd say that's just people talking shit. Demo and retail are the same.

Games pretty fantastic so far. Just hate the goddamn rewind bullshit in crash mode. You fuck up and you gotta wait FOREVER to get going again.
