Every Burnout Game, Ranked

The Burnout franchise was one of the best arcade racers of the time.

From humble beginnings as a standard arcade racer to Burnout 3: Takedown and gameplay peaks, he actively encouraged him to collide with his enemies. There was nothing like burnout in his prime.

It’s tragic to have never seen a proper burnout game released in nearly 20 years.

The 2018 Burnout Paradise Remaster reminded us how magical these games are. It combines smooth presentation, great lace, over-the-top takedown and crash thrills.

While you’re still waiting for the burnout to return, travel down memory lanes to rank your burnout games from worst to best.

8 Burnout crash!

It crashed and burned

I love the burnout crash mode. I love the burnout crash mode. That’s not to say that making a game in just crash mode is a good idea.

But that’s exactly the 2011 burnout crash! It was. This game acts as the perfect mobile game to waste time while working, but as a full-fledged Xbox Live Arcade game it pales in comparison to everything else available on the market.

Introducing top-down camera angles works very well on mobile devices, but the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 come as a shallow experience that lacks the critical features expected in traditional burnout entry crash mode.

If you want to make the most of causing mayhem, stick to heavy batters. I will explain this later.

7 Burnout syndrome

What started it all

It’s the case of 2001 burnout, as everyone has to start somewhere.

It was released on PS2 in 2001, and the following year it was released on GameCube and Xbox. Burnout is an arcade racer and actively encourages people to be at risk and to collide with others.

The problem is that, as you can expect from the debut entry, there are no many of the features that make the franchise known.

There is no crash mode. The gameplay feels more like a technical demo than a full-fledged game.

Right now, I’m not saying burnout is a bad game. That was great in that era, but there was no “it” factor to help you compete with the heavyweights in the race.

Why did you place Gran Turismo and Mario Kart at the time? Well, we had a good reason right away.

6 Burn Outdoor Dominator

Are there any crashes? No thank you

It’s not clear who the main audience for Burn Dominator is.

Released on PSP in 2007, and strangely, the PS2 takes place two years after Burnout Revenge, but lacks some of the key features we’ve seen in a much better burnout game.

What’s even more annoying is the fact This game came out two years after the legend of burnout, a full-scale burnout experience on PSP.

Burnout’s Dominator was a disappointing step in the wrong direction for the Burnout franchise.

It wasn’t that the franchise was desperate for the game to keep their fans happy. Burnout Paradise was released a year later.

One of the key elements of the Dominator’s disappointing experience is that The only game in the series not developed by Criterionsomeone who worked in Paradise. Instead, EA UK developed the game, and their lack of experience with the franchise was shown.

5 Burnout 2: Impact point

Heavy hitter

While Burnout 3 brings the mainstream success of the franchise, Burnout 2 is everything there should be a sequel.

Point of Impact introduces crash mode to the series, enhancing that burnout is not the typical arcade racer. That’s about Crush and Mayhem.

Crash mode will be greatly expanded in subsequent sequels, but I’ll argue that The combination of traditional arcade races and parallel crash modes is where burnout really stood out It’s also attracting the attention of gamers around the world.

The game isn’t without flaws as there are framerate drops and other technical issues when playing multiplayer, and the lack of takedowns (introduced in Burnout 3) is felt in hindsight. Still, Burnout 2 was a great change in pace for race fans looking for something other than the Gran Turismo 3.

4 Burnout Paradise

Open World

Are you ready for a hot take? I don’t like burnout paradise.

Technically, the game is extremely healthy and successfully captures the burnout experience in an open world environment. However, this is: I don’t think Burnout was an open world game.

The Burnout series works because there is a complete mayhem for all races. It’s not just about winning. It’s about taking your opponent out.

Paradise had barely seen any other drivers.

Compare it with franchise peaks and revenge and takedowns. There, we learn the inside and outside of all courses and focus on the best places to take down mentally timely.

The decision to follow industry trends at the time of open world games will result in less experiences that look like a burnout game when you tie up a fierce noug, but that’s not really the case.

3 The legend of burnout

Underrated gems

The Burnout legend has won many flacks due to the disaster that was the Nintendo DS version. The game didn’t work on Nintendo’s handheld.

However, the PSP version is everything I’ve ever wanted in a handheld burnout game.

Unlike the Dominator, which inexplicably removes crash mode, Legends is packed with modes and is often compared to console releases.

Everything you know and love is here: your standard race, eliminator, road rage, crash, chase, and more.

This is what Sony assumed when releasing the feature to release console games on a PSP: portable device.

It’s a shame many other games have failed to capture magic like the legendary burnout. If the PSP is still lying down, try it and fall in love.

2 Burnout syndrome

We serve cold dishes

Burnout Revenge was released on the Xbox 360 with perfect timing two weeks before Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It was the perfect appetizer to the main main dish of the first essential game of the 360s.

I didn’t know that Burnout Revenge would be one of the most played games ever on the Xbox 360.

Everything that made Takedown into this iconic and innovative game is fully on display here, taking advantage of the new Xbox 360 hardware.

He was the perfect racer to play online;If you were replacing the paint, no one was mad Assumption I’ll replace the paint.

There is a new mode that allows you to hit civilian cars: traffic attacks. Is it a marquee function? It’s definitely not. Are you still looking forward to a lot? It ultimately leads to a crash or takedown, especially when you can hit a car.

The biggest flaw in burnout revenge is its lack of innovation. It feels like the developers are playing a hit rather than moving the franchise forward.

Again, if paradise passes by, that could be a good thing.

1 Burnout 3: Takedown

king

Just as I love burnout revenge, Burnout 3: Takedowns that I can’t refuse have something magical.

It won the place as the best burnout game The right combination of gameplay, innovation and presentation.

As mentioned previously, it was a source that lost burnt-out sauce, like burnout.

I no longer had to change paint just to become an aggressive driver. You were trading paint with other racers and removing them from your actions. It was part of the core gameplay and a key strategy for success.

Aside from takedowns, graphical quality improvements and addictive gameplay, Burnout 3: Takedown is all style.

Wax the lyrics about the game’s soundtrack. EA Trax was in its own league when it came to pick songs in the 2000s..

Although the single, including My Chemical Romance’s “I’m Not Oke (II Promise),” is a genius stroke just weeks before the world was officially released and took over, the whole soundtrack does an incredible job of capturing the essence of burnout’s gameplay.

Donot’s “Saccharin’s Smile,” Ash’s “Orpheus,” “Ramones,” and “I Want to Sedate” are all songs from generations, and those generations grew up playing burnout.
