About Burnout Revenge
Burnout Revenge launched in September 2005 from Criterion Games and Electronic Arts. This title arrived on PlayStation 2, Xbox, and the new Xbox 360 hardware. It is a high-octane racing simulator that prioritizes destruction over clean laps. The game drops you into busy rush-hour traffic across three continents for a world tour of events. You drive any of the 77 available vehicles to crash your way through ranks. The Xbox 360 edition added better graphics and online features like Revenge Rivals tracking. It is a loud, fast experience focused on causing chaos rather than finishing first in traditional races.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time driving aggressively to build a boost meter. Performing dangerous stunts like drifting or tailgating fills your boost gauge. You use this fuel to ram rivals and trigger Takedowns that refill your tank instantly. The game features specific modes like Road Rage where you destroy opponents for points and Eliminator, which blows up the last-place car every thirty seconds. Traffic checking lets you shove cars into other traffic for extra Crash Dollars. The new Xbox 360 version adds a Burnout Clips tool to save thirty-second highlights of your races. You navigate junctions in Crash Tour or Battle modes to rack up cash. Every session feels frantic as you manage boost while weaving through cars and avoiding being taken out yourself.
What Players Think
Critics and players have responded strongly to this sequel. Metacritic holds the score at 89 out of 100 while IGDB lists a rating of 84.9 based on 108 reviews. The community mood leans heavily toward high-energy chaos with very few complaints about control. Players report average playtimes that extend well past the main campaign due to the unlockable ranks and cars. Completion rates for the full world tour are solid among dedicated fans who enjoy the grind of ranking up. Review snippets frequently mention how satisfying the Takedown system feels compared to other racers. The online mode on Xbox 360 also receives praise for tracking specific rival interactions. Numbers show this title remains a top-tier entry in the genre since its release.
PlayPile's Take
Burnout Revenge is worth your time if you want a racing game that punishes caution and rewards aggression. The price point varies by platform but the value comes from the 169 events across the career mode. There are over 70 achievements tied to specific car types and event completions. This is not for drivers who prefer clean lines or realistic handling physics. It is a loud, violent arcade racer that demands you crash often. The Xbox 360 version offers the best experience with improved visuals and online tracking. You should play this if you like watching cars explode rather than finish first.
