Insane speed and spectacular crashes: from Takedown to Paradise, Criterion's Burnout turned wrecking into an art. RomWize re-ranks the best entries by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Absolute masterpiece of aggressive arcade racing. The Takedown - eliminating opponents - revolutionizes the genre. Spectacular crash modes, devilish rock soundtrack, hallucinating speed. One of the best games of the Xbox generation and all time."
"Burnout 2 perfects the formula with an addictive nitrous boost system and spectacular crash modes. The best in the series before Burnout 3. Varied modes, satisfying crashes, pure speed. One of the best arcade racers on Xbox."
"Burnout Paradise The Ultimate Box is the complete version with all DLC including Big Surf Island. The best way to experience Paradise City with even more content, vehicles and events. The genre reference."
"Direct sequel to Takedown, introducing oncoming traffic mechanics and enriched competitive modes. As fun and technical as its predecessor with superior content. One of the two undisputed peaks of the series alongside Burnout 3."
"The first Burnout, founding arcade racing-crashing game. Collisions are the heart of gameplay, immediate fun. Less rich than its sequels but the series DNA is already there. A classic to revisit in the context of the franchise's evolution."
