Intro: Hey there so awhile ago, I mean a few years back, I owned and XBOX. And on that console I bought my first burnout game. It was the cat’s meow and I fell in love with the series but the next game to come out, Which was burnout Paradise City, I thought was a below average game. I bought this game before Christmas to play so I wouldn’t get bored waiting for Borderlands to come out and well its so nice to be playing Burnout Revenge again, and this time in HD.
PRESENTATION: 7/10
Story1/3: Basic story line
overview 3/3:Game runs super smooth
Features 3/4: Has Everything but incentive to replay
Story: So the story of Burnout Revenge is very bare bones. Basically your trying to become the elite rank by racing through various levels and difficulties.
Setting: You race over allot of courses that have about 6 variations each, they range from Rome, Tokyo, and many parts of L.A.
Characters: No character. Sorry.
Overview: The game runs very smoothly and I never saw slowdown and the game never crashed. The menus are very easy to use and are never confusing.
Features: This game has everything from online to same console but it has no incentive for replay value, but for collectors it has a series of challenges to earn new cars.
GRAPHICS: 9/10
details 2/2: Great Detail
texture 2/2: Affective textures
overall 3/4: Good overall nothing that’s amazing but when your going fast you forget about it
art style 2/2: The art style is nothing new but it works.
Graphics: The graphics in this game are beautiful. First off lets talk about the menus, their all done very nicely and have good detail. So now this is a racing game, and just so everyone knows the cars look fantastic and the damage modeling looks very nice but all the damage seems to just end up looking them same. But what really matters is that when your going super fast everything is zipping by you and it looks amazing.
Art style: the art style takes a realistic tone and provides to the game every allyway feels dark and small, but the highways open up to great lighting and huge roads.
SOUND 8/10
sounds 4/4: Everything fits and its immersive
voice acting 1/3: Basically non
music 3/3: Comeback kid, just awesome sound track
Sound: The sound effects in the game are really well done. Your car always makes the appropriate sound and at high speeds your really feel like your going fast. With every crunch of metal to your tires squeaking the game has the sounds down and it really immerses you in the game
Music: Featuring the likes of Apacolypica, Ok Go, Emanuel, Funeral For a Friend, and last but not least one of my favorite bands Comeback Kid, this game has a great sound track.
Voice acting: Next to no voice acting only some woman who tells you how your now playing in HD
GAMEPLAY: 8/10
Controls 3/3: Perfect and fluent
Campaign 3/5: Long, but repetitive
A.I. 2/2: Good and they evolve
Controls: There are no awkward button presses and everything works within a split second of being pressed, which is good for this kind of game. The controller is used perfect in this game making it enjoyable to play.
Campaign: When you start up the game you need to pick a save file and it places in the rank of harmless. As you play through the game you get stars based on how you do in the race and what metal you get. So once you select your race out of a couple selections like race, traffic attack and elimination (and there is more race types them thos). They you pick from one of your two starting slow cars. When you hit the streets you start with no boost and your goal is to crash your opponents. Every car you crash you get full boost and the more boost the faster you go and then well your going 160 mph through tight streets. At the end your rewarded your stars and given new challenges and maybe a new car. As you progress the cars gets faster and the enemies get more and more aggressive. The pacing is good and it’s a good length for a video game but the formula is very repetitive.
A.I.: Theirs no friendly A.I. but the enemies are very aggressive and they learn how to get you. That’s all I can really say about the A.I. its just there.
REPLAY VALUE: 8/10
multiplayer/split screen 3/3
difficulty settings/multiple playthroughs 1/2: No multiple playthroughs
fun 4/5: Amazingly fun and very addicting.
Multiplayer: Has online and split screen
Replay value: The game has very little incentive to play again.
Difficulty: This game has a progressive difficulty, but what it really is, is that the cars go faster and you can’t use your older cars. I feel that at points the game is just unfair and the difficulty curve shoots up then dips. And the learning curve is small
Fun: This game does one thing really well, it is so much fun, you forget about all the flaws when you zooming through city streets in your amazingly fast car.
Recommendation: I recommend this game for everyone. I feel that this game needs to be tried at least once just because it’s a rush and its cheap now. A great game for everyone.
Total: 8.0
This game got an average rating of 8.9 with 7 10.0
