Skimming traffic to earn boost, then unleashing it all in a mad burst of acceleration: risk becomes the heart of the fun. This entry pushes the boost-chaining mechanic to its peak, rewarding daring with a constant high. Spectacular and snappy, an arcade racer that turns the fear of danger into pure thrill, pad in hand.
An arcade racer from Electronic Arts, Burnout Dominator pushes speed to the extreme on open roads where aggressive driving, bumper grazing overtakes and constant boost reward risk taking. The return to the garage system between races and the emphasis on chaining stunts to fill the boost gauge make it a snappy, demanding Burnout. The sense of speed stays exhilarating on PSP. For a fan of arcade racing or of Burnout, the title keeps a perfectly intact intensity and adrenaline.
