Criterion Games redefined the racing game genre by adding an often overlooked aspect of driving-road rage.”Burnout Revenge,” the latest in the “Burnout” series, takes the game play that made “Burnout 3” such a huge success and tweaks it just enough to make “Burnout Revenge” a whole new experience. The racing in “Burnout Revenge” is some of the best the genre has to offer.”Revenge” has all of the classic takedown methods like slamming your opponent into oncoming traffic or boosting them into a wall, but it also has a few new tricks up its sleeve, such as shunting traffic into your opponents or hitting a ramp and crashing your car down on top of a rival.Taken down by another driver? That racer is specially marked with a revenge marker, and you receive extra points by seeking revenge and taking them out.Revenge has never been this fun.

The “Burnout” series took the mayhem and destruction of car wrecks and turned it into fun for the whole family. Normally taking a speeding car and hurtling it into a busy intersection will get you 25 to life, but in “Revenge,” anything less than $5 million worth of damage will get laughed out of the room by all your friends.
