Burnout Revenge lets gamers rip through rush hour traffic and lay waste to scores of rubbernecking roadhogs in an over-the-top scene of vehicular mayhem. In addition to tricked out new race, crash and road rage modes, Burnout Revenge takes the series' blistering speed and spectacular destruction to dizzying new heights with an all-new Revenge mode, challenging gamers to battle the clock and unleash their frustrations on rush hour traffic.

The sequel to one of most acclaimed games of 2004, Burnout Revenge straps gamers into the fastest, most dangerous racer on the road. Built for unprecedented destruction, Burnout Revenge challenges gamers to exact their revenge on rush hour traffic, vindictive rival racers and anything else that gets between them and the finish line.

Burnout Revenge has already garnered critical praise, including a perfect score from Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine (5 of 5) and the second highest score ever from Official Xbox Magazine (9.8 of 10). The game was also awarded the Game Critics Award for Best Racing Game at E3 2005.

"Burnout Revenge is testament to the wealth of talent at Criterion," said Paul Lee, President of EA Studios. "The studio continues to deliver genre-defining games that raise the bar for gameplay, technology and creativity."
