Who can possibly dethrone the king of the road?

Revenge's breathtaking sense of speed holds the key to its appeal - lean on the turbo boost and this game becomes pants-wettingly fast, with detailed visuals that never lag behind the action. The controls take very little time to master; responsive steering leads to smooth, subtle drift turns and precise near-misses that can be engineered on the fly. There's more opportunities to go airborne here than in Burnout 3, so being able to steer the car mid-flight is a welcome addition, too.

Gran Turismo and Forza can spin their wheels over who's more realistic - arcade racing fans who want to go fast and cheat death in a pure escapist speed fantasy will be perfectly overstimulated by Burnout Revenge instead. It's a must-own.

  • You never feel like you're stuck
You'll hate
  • Online should be as thrilling as solo play
  • Corporate sponsored cars and billboards
  • Will we even need another Burnout?

I only just bought the game and I've had to break out the old xbox but some of the crash challenges are very rewarding
