Burnout Revenge, Racing, 2005 Introduction | Author | Message |

| Burnout Revenge arrived hot on the heels of the previously ground breaking Burnout 3 Takedown, and is considered by some to be the most accomplished title out of the Burnout franchise thus far. I, however, disagree. Whilst the frantic gameplay, a crucial staple to Burnouts success, still excels, there were a few new features that I simply felt were unsuitable. The defining new feature of Burnout Revenge is an emphasis on revenge, a step up from takedowns, whereby you get credited more explicitly for taking another racer out who previously took you out. However, in reality the most noticable new aspect of Burnout Revenge is the inclusion of the dubious traffic checking mode. This mechanic enabled you to plough into the traffic relentlessly, and essentially use it as a weapon as crashing into traffic was no longer an issue. Although it can look spectacular, seeing the seemingly weightless cars float around out of your way was just too ludicrous, even by Burnouts monstrous standards, and more importantly took away the challenging nature of hurtling through traffic at high speed that the series once possessed. It just didn't feel dangerous anymore, unless you went the wrong way since traffic checking didn't apply to oncoming traffic. As with Burnout 3, the series was once again horrifically EAified with an even worse soundtrack and an even worse crash mode. For some reason, they felt the need to make crash mode play like a game of golf, by introducing a contrived starting meter, along with wind hazards and even cringe worthy cheering just to remind you that you have bought a product of EA. As for the car lineup, I can't help but feel that a better variety of cars would have been of benefit since Revenge mostly relies on sports cars in comparison to Takedowns array variety. Even compacts and saloons are merely restricted to crash mode. Incredibly, it was also impossible to jump into a single race - you had to trawl through the world tour mode rather than swiftly jump into a race of your desire. Still, despite the negatives the graphics were an improvement with their more realistic flair, and you can hardly call a Burnout game unenjoyable. An enhanced version was also released on the Xbox 360. |

| There´s a Carl´s Jr. Ford F-350 which needs to be added. |
lcpdcv 2012-11-22 10:09
| ^ Indeed, along with the civilian Nissan Cedric sedan and a Lada station wagon. Oh-also a white/red Hong Kong version of the Cedric cab. -- Last edit: 2012-11-22 10:15:18 |
lcpdcv 2012-11-22 22:18
| Also, where's the US traffic RV, US traffic SUV and the EU traffic pickup? |
lcpdcv 2012-11-23 22:47
| Added a shit ton of vehicles-the civi Cedric, HK taxi Cedric, US traffic SUV, EU traffic pickup, US traffic RV, EU traffic station wagon & Hardees Ford F-350. Accept them, please! |
lcpdcv 2012-11-24 10:22

lcpdcv 2012-11-24 20:44
| Added piece of construction equipment seen on Eastern Bay. Page is almost complete-just needs the logging equipment from Lone Peak and the Carl's Jr. F-350. |
lcpdcv 2012-11-24 21:17

| ahhhhh Good old times! |

| It appears the Asian traffic pickup is missing-I swear I remember it being on this page. |
lcpdcv 2012-11-25 04:35
| Hell, the Asian RV is missing too. |
lcpdcv 2012-11-25 04:39
| Added both of them-accept them, please. |
lcpdcv 2012-11-26 01:38
| Prima Guide has some interesting beta stuff-there was tanker trailers in the PS2/XBOX version, a minibus in the US traffic set(although since the traffic version of the Mobile Diner isn't listed, I think that's what it is) and this: |
carcrasher88 2012-11-26 02:05
| ^How about the green and beige double decker tram found in Central Route? There's a pic on pg 151 in the Prima guide. Probably wouldn't be out of place in the comments. .gif ":)") |
lcpdcv 2012-11-26 02:08
|  Here's the tram.  Shame that trailer wasn't used. |
carcrasher88 2012-11-26 02:15
| I know! Imagine that hooked to a truck in a Traffic Attack. Hit the trailer, and send both it and the vehicle flying forward, separating, and going in opposite directions, left and right. Now, say that happens, and there are semis and/or buses coming in the opposite direction. The vehicle hits the first one, while the camper bounces off the guardrail, sliding into the one behind it. Double Awesome Skill Shot! -- Last edit: 2012-11-26 02:15:55 |
lcpdcv 2012-11-26 02:18
| That'd be awesome. |
lcpdcv 2012-12-07 01:06
| Added the Carl's Jr. F-350. Page is now complete. |

| Can you replace SWF traffic shots in this page? -- Last edit: 2013-02-18 13:56:20 |

| I totally agree with Star Wars Fanatic. This game was slightly disappointing compared to Burnout 3 |
Andra125 2013-02-07 18:01
| Replying to a 6 year old comment once again... |
fellian 2013-02-09 17:13
| Once again, I wasn't here to reply to it 6 years ago. Do you have a problem with new members replying to old comments or something? |
Andra125 2013-02-09 19:25
| Nope, but it can be really annoying if someone keeps replying to outdated comments all the time... |
ditha57 2013-02-13 04:20
| Honestly, I'd prefer Revenge > Paradise > Point of Impact > Takedown > Legends. Revenge is my name and my favorite, no offense but I'd like to check traffic all the way. |
ItsaUserName 2013-02-13 19:21
| Um no, but would you reply to a letter written 100 years ago simply because "you wasn't there to reply to it 100 years before"? -- Last edit: 2013-02-13 19:22:03 |
fellian 2013-02-19 15:35
| No offence, but if you like traffic checking you're probably a bad driver |
fellian 2013-02-19 15:36
| Actually, no, because something that happened 100 years ago probably isn't relevant today. Six years is a bit different to 100 years -- Last edit: 2013-03-01 19:25:34 |

ditha57 2013-02-22 05:10
| Fellian, I want to make a correction, I'm rather being an aggressive driver than bad driver. |
Tuppence870 2013-05-25 17:32
| This game needs a serious clean up - there are multiple cars which are identified as vehicles that look completely different, and some variants of the same in-game cars that are identified as different vehicles. I might capture some better images to help fix things. |
