Advantages: Great Graphics, Great Gameplay, Brilliant Sound effects and mostly GREAT CRASHES!! Disadvantages: Not enough tracks or cars!
Burnout is a fast paced, exciting feature rich game, but even that said and done it’s not as it could have been.
Having recently bought a Gamecube I decided to go out and buy some games, one of which was Burnout, as I started it up with a fairly average loading time of about 5seconds I was already amazed by the graphics!!! So as most people would I went straight into the game.
Choose my car and its colour and straight away raced away, I COULDN’T ... ...for a racing game! Also Burnout has a fair few tracks but most of them all use the same scenery just different layouts, the various modes include:
Championship Mode
Single Player Mode
Head to Head mode
Face off
Survival
Time Attack
Championship Mode allows you to unlock various extra’s like tracks and cars, it also gives you the chance to race in various championships funnily enough….
Single player mode is just basically racing 1-4 computer ...

Advantages: Great graphics, frame rate and sound Disadvantages: Not enough car choice or track choice
I couldn't buy a GameCube on launch day as I was out of the country on holiday. When I returned I had to search high and low to actually find a shop with one left. I didn't think much to the packages on offer so I bought 3 games separately.
I had high hopes for this game - I had played it in the US on holiday and was very impressed - I just hoped the PAL game could match it.
Graphics: The frame rate is very fast, it looks just like an actual arcade ... ...cars including a pick-up truck, a Mercedes lookalike and a small hatchback lookalike. The detail of the vehicles is good and when you are playing, the relection graphics on the vehicle bodies is superb. You get to race through one of three locations and although there are plenty of other vehicles around, you get to try to beat 3 other vehicles. There is no sign of any jerkiness or slowdown in the graphics and the whole thing is a dream to watch.

Advantages: Great crash scenes Disadvantages: Time limit gets very annoying
Burnout is essentially a fast racing game on GameCube and PS2 made by Aklaim and developed by Criterion and RenderWare. (A new edition- Burnout II- has recently come out and I am hoping for it for Christmas.)
There are 14 manic tracks to drive, which can be unlocked in Championship. You can drive in Europe or USA along dusty mountains like a rally driver, or cut cars up like a murderous drunk. There are cars loads of cars to choose from. There are ... ...Burnout is a great game with superb crash scenes and cool cars. I recommend this game to anyone who likes high-speed, high-drama car chases and finales. Don’t spend more than £20 on this game and you could buy it pre-owned for around £13. Definitely 5 star…thank you Aklaim, Criterion and RenderWare! ...

Advantages: Great Graphics, Easy to get into, Fast, Fun! Quick-ish load times.and long Disadvantages: Can be frustrating ocasionally
Burnout for the gamecube was the first game i purchased, that was a few months back and im still playing it today. Burnout is a driving game aimed at the arcade fans. You are up against the clock every race, fail to get to the checkpoint in time and your out. And to make things worse your up against lots of traffic. Both of these points make the game so much fun, your constantly weaving through traffic in an effort to make the next checkpoint.
Burnout ... ...Replay Each - 12
My recommendation: If your looking for a great driving game with a decent multiplayer experience look no further than burnout on gamecube. Just be patient with the cpu controlled cars. ...

Advantages: High speed crashing, High speed Crashing and oh did I mention the high speed crashing! Disadvantages: no explosions or bodies
Not being a fan of racing games per se, I have to say I approached this game with some trepidation, as the majority of titles in this Genre I have found fine for a little while, then they just become boring, race around a track, press the brake, press the accelerator, overtake some cars, ya-da ya-da etc.
So, after a brief visit to my local branch of Gamestation, i shelled out my £32 (Gamestation are an excellent source of games, with substantial ... ...card - I highly recommend them !)and oh boy was I surpised when I played this, after a brief training session, you get to pick a track and crash your car in the most spectacular way possible, just watching the replays is pure entertainment, so much so that you want to keep on crashing, not to get your compensation claim up, just to see how many more cars, buses, lorries etc you can include in your multiple pile-up, and thats just the crashing option. ...

Advantages: Fast racing with excellent cars Disadvantages: none
Burnout is very good in my point of view. You can win championships and earn extra cars and tracks. You can even choose what colour your car is in. Some of the championship races are very hard but if you keep practicing you will find them easier. When you complete a championship you unlock tracks and races. These races give you the chance to win cars. Multiplayer can be fun because it is very competitive.
Driving at incredible speeds through traffic ...
