Last September, I called Burnout 3: Takedown one of the best titles of the year thanks to its gameplay and its redefinition of the racing genre. I still happen to hold to that feeling. In fact, if I'm having a bad day or am in-between articles, I'll still fire up this title and get a race to two in.

The Burnout-series is without a doubt one of the most popular arcade racers of the moment. Especially with the previous title, Burnout: Takedown, Criterion hit the nail on the head.

Burnout Revenge lets gamers rip through rush hour traffic and lay waste to scores of rubbernecking roadhogs in an over-the-top scene of vehicular mayhem. In addition to tricked out new race, crash and road rage modes, Burnout Revenge takes the series' blistering speed and spectacular destruction to...

Not only that, but they've also kindly rehashed the graphics and slapped the game onto the Xbox 360 with all the great features of the first game plus jaw dropping visuals and achievements making the game even more exciting.

Burnout Revenge is the fourth installment of the ever popular Burnout series from Criterion Games, and the second published by EA. It is clearly heavily influenced by the success of Burnout 3: Takedown, where many online races degenerated into huge crash fests.

You know a game is good when it makes all the other games in its genre seem rather boring in comparison. Burnout 3 did just that. By the time I peeled the Xbox controller from my sweaty palms and moved onto other racing games, I noticed they all seemed to move too slowly and felt rather mundane.

Electronic Arts and Criterion Games finally release their frantic dashin' and crashin' racer to the Xbox 360. Is the sixty-dollar game that came out just a few months ago worth it for the new enhancements Find out more in our full review.

Not much different going on other than Live modes

Whilst the Burnout series is no longer fresh, it's still pitch-perfect in its execution and an ace game to boot.

Where can I start with Burnout Revenge.. Well it is probably the best Burnout game I've played to date, the graphics arn't tip top but for the time (2005) it was a very good step up for racing games, I think it's the most fun and enjoyable Burnout game on the 360 and I think it always will be.
