I've played the Burnout: 3 demo in past, and my friends couldn't stop playing the one stage over and over again! I decided to purchase this title, since I skipped out on Burnout: 3, and I wasn't disappointed! The same basic concept is in this one as the 3rd....destroy cars!! There's little more to do in this title, as the other types of "races" keep you interested! To start, there are a couple of ways to play during a "career mode". Race, which of course is first to the finish, smashing and shunting your way to victory. Crash, which they give you a section of a busy road and your object is to cause as much chaos as possible and creating a BIG dollar amount of damage to earn your gold medal. Road Rage, take out as many cars as possible, and they give you a set amount of cars to wreck to get your medal. Gameplay is fun, but of course if you overplay it in one day you may get a little bored. It is definitely a "get-your-friends-over-with-some-beer-and-blow-crap-up" type of game! :) Controls are easy, and if you're going 180 MPH...you REALLY feel like you're going that fast as the environment FLIES past you! The graphics are subpar, as they could be better....but at 175 MPH it's hard to spot good graphics! The loading times are AWFUL, as it takes FOREVER to load the races and if you want to RETRY...you're in for the FULL load time once again. The only race it doesn't "reload" are the Crash type races. Online with this game is pretty fun, but most of the races are 5-6 race sets and if you get in a group with people that are awesome at this game (and there are a LOT of them!) then you're stuck with them for 5 or so races! There is absolutely NO lag time or delay in controls on a good broadband connection, and getting in a race is easy and fast. Everybody online also has "crash" and "race" ratings so you know who's good at what. Overall, if you can get this game for a good price it's worth it, especially for a party kind of game. As for one-player replay value after you're done with it, I'm not sure it would hold true.Read full review
This game is epic. It's fun enough to play for hours on end, but it's simple enough to jump on and knock out a couple events in about 15 minutes. It has aged very well, and it still looks and sounds great, especially if playing on a PS3 that is backwards compatible. There are ton of cars and a ton of events, and even if you reach 100% completion, you can always just start over or keep trying to beat your old records. I love the arcade feel and the epic, over-the-top action. This is one of my favorite games of all time.

Hands down one of my favorite arcade racers from my childhood. Awesome sound track that shaped my music interest for years to come. Gameplay wise its the same as Burnout 3 Takedown but with a twist now same direction traffic can be checked at the competition to take them down with style.

High speed frenetic stylized hyperaggressive combat racing. There's really nothing else to be said. If you don't own this game you should. Burnout's a great series and Revenge is its pinnacle. You occasionally get people who complain about it not being 'realistic' but if I wanted realism I wouldn't be playing video games, honestly. And it's realistic =enough= to feel like you're really screaming around the streets of Tokyo in a Ferrari. Each of the modes is exciting and fun. =Very= rarely a level can be frustrating, but it's usually more to do with getting stuck on a single event than an actual failing on the part of its design Other things to note: The soundtrack is for the most part composed of fast paced fist pumping rock tunes which fit the feel of the game very well. The tracks are for the most part winners. The only major complaint I have is not being able to play a certain track if you really want to hear it, but that's not really a biggie. During gameplay there's usually enough choices of events to play if you for instance don't really feel like doing a time trial race right now, or you're stuck on a certain event, you can always go and play something else first and come back to it later when you're more in the mood or you've got a better car to tackle the level with. This is one of my favorite games and if it's not one of yours, you just don't like racing games, hands down.Read full review
This is auctually the first Burnout Game I have gotten, I was sold on it by the demo, and I must say it is the fastest car racing game I have ever played, forget Nascar 06, this thing is FASTTTTT! the only drawback to this game is the multiplayer. it says you can play four player, but what it does is give each player a turn at the same race with the same controller, so its just like giving each other turns, whats the point of calling it a multiplayer when thats what it does! overall I give it a 4/5, and I hope this helps, Chrissuard.
