Burnout Revenge: Worth the upgrade?

[DonaldMick]

I picked up Burnout 3 for $25 a few months ago and have been playing it like mad, but still haven't gotten everything.

Should I bother with finishing it, or just say "fuck it" and get Burnout Revenge? (PS2 version).

Chalk up another to "Say fuck it and get Revenge". It's fun.

[Cactus Drags]

Revenge is fantastic, get it.

What is different between the two? All of the Burnout games have seemed pretty much the same to me except for new levels, so what's so good about Revenge?

Does placing still matter? Because I was actually good at races in that game.

[apsham]

Did you miss the "placing doesn't matter" part? He just said the whole point of the game was smashing up the other cars.

[Cactus Drags]

Placing still matters. Just not quite as much. It's a fucking racing game, of course it matters.

[Guest Grapehead]

except that you get extra points for winning gold, and you lose points for getting bronze, so placing still matters. My personal favourite addition, is traffic checking, I hated how you could ram the shit out of other racers before but if you even nudged a civilian you would explode... well no more, you can slam same way traffic all you like.

I have a question, on the PS2 version, is there any slowdown compared to the XBox one?

[MDK]

So it is just a beefed up version of Destruction Derby?

[Cactus Drags]

No, it's primarily a racing game, more in an arcade vein than a sim like GT. You get boost, like Nitro in the street racing games, for doing stuff like taking other cars out, ramming opponents, driving dangerously etc.

[MDK]

So basically you race and smash into other cars.

Not saying it is bad, tho, I will probably get it.

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, I s'pose...basically.

There's different modes, there's straight racing (although you still do the crashing and whatnot to boost your, erm, boost bar), road rage where you try and take out as many cars as possible (still racing round a circuit, but placing doesn't matter) etc. There's also the crash modes, where you basically have to drive your car into busy motorway intersections and whatnot and cuase as much damage as possible.

[EWRFan]

I am getting this...I was never a fan of the series until Burnout 3....how fucking awesome that game was!!! I played it for hours upon hours and once my buddies started coming to race(crash?) the fun doubled.

[Dan]

Anyone in the UK with online PS2 fancy giving me a game?

[Colly]

Whats the soundtrack like on this one? The last one was so expansive I narrowed it down to just what I really wanted to hear and it was still seven of eight songs. Noticed Sink That Ship by t Kaisers on the advert, is that an indication of this ones aceness?

[Dan]

The soundtrack is great.

Billy Idol, Yellowcard etc. etc.

[public enemy]

The music's shit, IMO.

It verges from Duel Guitar Nu-Metal to shitty emo. Not my cup of tea at all. There's not very much variation aside from that, I've been playing the game all weekend and it feels like I've only heard about five songs at the most.

Still, It'd take a lot more than that to put me off the game.
