Two Words: Burnout Crash

One of the original series of Burnout’s finest ideas was the Crash mode, a hugely enjoyable section that involved smashing your car headlong into busy junctions to cause as much damage as possible – they were brilliant.

Fans can rejoice, then, because it looks like EA are working on a Crash-specific Burnout called, wait for it, Burnout Crash.  According to this classification, it’s a PG with ‘Mild violence’ so it looks like they’re keeping it dehumanised and blood free.  Good.

GamerBytes reckon it might be a digital download too – suits us fine.  Burnout Crash is locked for PS3 and Xbox 360, we’ll let you know if we get any more details – but this is great news for fans.

  1. Although I love later Burnout games I sometime yearn for the simplicity of the first game, the purer racing that was focussed on you getting in the zone and avoiding crashes was fantastic.

    Don’t get me wrong I love crash mode but also loved the driving skill that used to be involved….Paradise brought some of that back as there was space to use due to it’s open world nature. I often felt as the speed increased in later games the course sides were allowed to help you with negotiating turns instead of punishing you with a spectacular crash.

  2. There’s something familiar about that name “Burnout” let me think? {:-)
