Burnout is a high-risk, high-energy arcade-style street racer. No
learning curve is required; just pick up and play. The game
monitors your driver's heart rate, as you're rewarded for near
misses. Civilians steer clear! There's only one way to drive in
Burnout: dangerously. Force traffic into your nents' paths
and risk a head-on collision to secure a win. Slide, cut close
and drive into oncoming traffic and you'll be rewarded for your
risk taking. Ces are based on actual c and damage physics
for extra realism.
Instant replays allow you to relive your handiwork from multiple
angles in all its cringe-inducing, metal-bashing glory. The
advanced traffic AI means civilians try to avoid and warn you
while nents try to slam you off the road. Cruise the US and
Europe on 14 awesome, traffic-filled courses through cities and
into the countryside. More than 300 vehicles fill the streets and
highways, making reckless racing and wild demolition a certainty.
Dolby Digital surround sound brings the roar of screeching tires
and twisting metal to life, and the analogue controls mean you
can feel every turn, skid and c.

Like your racing games fast, furious and full of spectacular
smashes? You're in luck. With Burnout, Accl remove all
pretence of going for a serious simulation and instead serve up a
delicious dish of pure arcade fun. There are two key selling
points to the game--the speed the action runs at and the
spectacular ces. To facilitate these, the set-up couldn't be
more straightforward, with the simple to be first past the
post. You can increase your chances of this by driving more
dangerously, although that comes with obvious pitfalls in the
shape of those aforementioned smashes. Suffice to say, though, to
get through the game you're going to have to take your chances.
Contrary to the serious approach of racing simulators like the
PS2's Gran Turismo 3, this is foot-to-the-pedal stuff, and
tremendously good fun to play. And when you do put your
proverbial foot down, get ready to move, for this is a
blisteringly fast title that deceptively requires more
concentration than it would first appear. The downside is that it
won't appeal to those who like their racing games nice and
serious, nor to those looking for anything particularly
innovative. For Burnout has few qualms about marrying the power
of the GameCube to a game engine that forsakes bells and whistles
for speed, destruction and sheer good fun. Fortunately, in this
case, it's all the better for it, making it a real four-wheel
treat. --Simon Brew
