'Burnout Revenge' (X360) Slams Into Retail

by Rainier on March 7, 2006 @ 5:13 a.m. PST

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.

Burnout Revenge adds two new major online features for the Xbox 360: Live Revenge and Save & Share. Live Revenge tracks gamers' relationships with everyone playing online, creating real-time rivalries among strangers and keeping vendettas running with friends and enemies. The new Save & Share feature allows gamers to record replays of their most spectacular crashes, share them with their friends and post them online. Gamers can also go online and browse other players' shared clips and recommend their favorites.

In addition, Burnout Revenge adds 10 new crash junctions, dozens of completely re-worked tracks and cars built from the ground up to crumple, rip and tear in the most violent, spectacular crashes ever seen in a video game.

"High-definition graphics and audio are a given for Burnout Revenge," said Alex Ward, creative director, Criterion Games. "Our focus with Burnout Revenge was to go beyond the eye-candy and deliver next-generation gameplay, taking advantage of the Xbox 360's powerful Xbox Live experience."

Key features

  • Live Revenge– It's not just about winning, it's about vengeance. A persistent Live Revenge mode tracks your relationships with online racers and rank leaders, calling them out in each race ... know your rivals and punish them!
  • Save and Share– Give back to the online community ... Save your greatest moments and upload them on Xbox Live for the world to see.
  • Check Traffic – Think hockey on the highway. Now every vehicle on the road is in play and a potential target – or weapon. Ram traffic into your rivals, slam cars into vicious combo-based pile-ups and lay waste to everything in sight. Don't fear traffic – fight it
  • Car Deformation – Experience the next generation of destruction made possible by the power of the Xbox 360 and literally rip cars to shreds in the most explosive crashes in the series' history
  • Traffic Attack – An all-new traffic attack mode pits gamers against the clock in a mad dash for destruction. It's not about dodging traffic, it's about leveling it by any means necessary
  • Crash Redefined – Show Hollywood how it's done with all-new open-ended crash junctions, now including 10 new junctions exclusive to Xbox 360. With multiple start points, complex, vertically-oriented tracks and hundreds of cars begging to be decimated, Burnout Revenge is the king of crash.
  • Built to Battle – Designed for maximum carnage, Burnout Revenge's tracks are loaded with massive jumps, multiple paths and nasty chokepoints to deliver the ultimate brutal car combat. Vertical takedowns and in-race crashbreakers open up new avenues for destruction. Watch out for shortcuts, highlighted by flashing blue lights...they're everywhere.
  • Car Classes – All-new cars in three classes (race, muscle and crash) accentuate different play styles. Choose your weapon!
  • Untouchable Speed – Burnout Revenge delivers unrivaled, irresponsible speed that can only possibly be topped by the real thing
