Product ReviewsBurnout Dominator (Sony PSP, 2007) - European Version

What happened to CRASH events?

I am a big fan of the Burnout series, on both PS2 and PSP.

Normally, I am not much of a racing game enthusiast, simply because I suck at driving games. Nobody likes to play two player racing games with me because I compensate for my lack of driving skill by driving dirty and making my opponent crash. I'm really good at crashes.

If you are familiar with the Burnout series, you will understand, then, why I like it. Dirty driving is the point. Causing crashes is encouraged, even celebrated. And the Crash Events have always been my crowning glory: floor it into traffic and cause as much damage as possible.

I always play the crash events first, completing races only when required to unlock more crash events. I get around to all of the other events sooner or later, but I live for the crashes.

Imagine my disappointment when I popped Burnout Dominator into my PSP, fired it up and ... NO CRASH EVENTS!

I checked the instruction book: race, burning lap, road rage, eliminator, (ooh! New stuff!) maniac, burnout/drift/near miss challenge, rival challenge, dominator challenge ... NO CRASH EVENTS!

I stared in disbelief ... NO CRASH EVENTS!

My crash grief aside, this is still a great Burnout game. The driving physics are as forgiving as ever, so those of us who aren't so good at racing will still have fun.

There are new ways to unlock cars and signature takedowns allow you to unlock hidden shortcuts. Aftertouch takedowns are just as exciting as ever and if you can't quite get in the way in time, the crashbreaker usually does the trick.

Maniac events almost make up for the lack of crash events. Drive like a maniac, basically. The more insanely dangerous your driving, the more points you earn. Chaining supercharge boosts earns massive multipliers.

The bottom line: if you like the Burnout series for its driving events, you will not be disappointed with Burnout Dominator. If it's crash mode you crave, stick with Burnout Legends.Read full review...

Great game for the Burnout series :-)

The graphics look great! the umm load times. seem to be the same kinda slow but that the same with all the burnouts :-(. the handling of the cars is much much improved the handle better and the new burn combo feature is awesome!! Its just sad that they took out the crash challenges out but its like incorporated in the races you can do the aftertouches in the normal races :-)Read full review...

??What Happened???

Okay . . . I played and thoroughly enjoyed Burnout Legends and then I must have snoozed too long cause then some yahoo went and stole our "Burnout" name title and put it to this lame-oh game. Did anyone get a glimpse of the perp? I want to report him/her to the "you suck" police and have them force-fully removed from this excellent name platform before they do any more damage.
Give this to someone less fortunate (not being mean here - they simply would appreciate it better than you because they have-not!!) and go spend your hard-earned benjamins' on Flat-out. It'll heal the wound and make you forget you ever spent those rare bills on something so unworthy of all the sweat you put in at work.

Then when you are done with Flat-Out (could be awhile) give it to that poor person you sucker-punched with this game and apologize earnestly - bring 'em a cream-cone, it'll ease the impact of their hatred towards you for doing such a mean thing as to pass this junk off onto them.Read full review...

BURNOUT

great game. if you like burnoout series you will like this. this is a different kind of burnout game. there are no crash events like Burnout legends. but i has maniac mode, near misses, burnout challenge, burning lap, takedowns and racing to make up for it.
also graphics are a lot better than burnout legends. realistic and also better car control.
I was expecting a game like aburnoout legends, but as I played i fell in love with this game.
amazing. highly recommendedRead full review...

nice game, good garphics

i like this game it's very interesting and has some details that make it appeling, graphics are good but are not perfect, sometimes cars and buildings look "square" but it's acceptable considering it's a portable console.Read full review...
