Burnout Revenge
Burnout Revenge
Burnout Revenge, développé par Criterion Games et édité par Electronic Arts, est sorti le 13 septembre 2005 sur PlayStation 2, Xbox et Xbox 360. Ce jeu de course, propulsé par le moteur RenderWare, propose un mode histoire principal composé de 169 événements répartis sur trois continents et onze rangs, pour une durée de parcours estimée à seize heures et demie, et près de trente-trois heures pour une expérience complète. Les joueurs y disputent divers types de courses au cœur de la circulation aux heures de pointe, incluant le circuit, le Road Rage, le Burning Lap, l'Eliminator, le Crash et le Traffic Attack, une nouveauté reposant sur le « traffic checking » permettant de percuter les véhicules de taille moyenne pour provoquer des carambolages. Soixante-dix-sept véhicules, dont certains réservés aux crashs, sont disponibles, et le multijoueur en ligne comme hors ligne offre plusieurs modes de compétition. La version Xbox 360 améliore le rendu graphique, ajoute dix junctions de crash, un système de Revenge Rivals en ligne et la fonction Burnout Clips pour partager des séquences de trente secondes.
L'accueil critique a été favorable, avec une note moyenne agrégée de 84,87. Game Power Australia a salué un titre accessible aux joueurs occasionnels tout en satisfaisant les fans de la série, tandis que XGP Gaming a estimé que le jeu prolongeait et surpassait l'expérience de Burnout 3. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont partagé des souvenirs enthousiastes, évoquant des sessions nocturnes mémorables et des courses ainsi qu'un mode crash jugés particulièrement explosifs et amusants.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Burnout devotees will love it but this is a game made for casual gamers. There's no massive skill required, it's a terrific accessible game for anyone. »
« Builds upon everything that was so spectacular about Burnout 3, and just takes it all to a whole new level. It's fast, gorgeous and just an absolute blast to play. »
« Quite simply the best arcade racing game ever made. Everything that you loved about the last game is still here and kicking, but with added modes, more action, a faster sense of speed, and some truly addictive multiplayer modes, this game will undoubtedly go down in history as being the epitome of action racing this generation and possibly even the next. »
« Burnout Revenge changes the gameplay of its predecessors in small yet very crucial ways that make it more fun than the previous games, without making those games seem less fun. [Nov 2005, p.132] »
« Whether you are a fan of the previous games or just want to experience the absolute best in arcade racing, Burnout Revenge is a game that you won't be able to stop playing once you start, so grab a copy today and clear your calendar for the rest of the year. »
« This is the best arcade racer I have ever played. »
« This game is a refined and better game than "Burnout 3" even if there are a couple missteps along the way. The graphics, sound and overall sense of speed are greatly improved and the game is as addicting as ever. »
« New modes, new vehicles and a whole new batch of trophies and awards to obtain (including the awesome Vertical Takedowns that see you falling from a height to land on a rival) all make for an experience that has enough in common with the sublime "Burnout 3" to create a feeling of comfort, but is different enough to test you all over again. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« The first burnout games I ever played. I remember staying up all night playing it. Met some good friends on there. I remember being #2 on the leaderboard, only reason I wasn't #1 is because I never raced them. Too 3 favorite games ever »
« This game is nothing short of **** races are fun with explosive takedown **** crash mode is very explosive and fun.10/10 »
« This sequel to "Burnout 3" is basically more of the same, but it's still exhilarating. It includes a few new game modes and introduces vertical takedowns and traffic checking. Also, alternative routes and shortcuts have been added to the tracks. In terms of presentation, "Revenge" has a darker color palette, slicker vehicle designs and a harder rocking soundtrack. For better or worse, DJ Stryker on Crash FM no longer makes announcements. Overall, I would rate this with a 9.1 out of 10. »
« This is the best arcade race game. I played again with emulator. I remember my childhood. I love this game. »
« IF you prefer something less realistic sim racing and more arcade pure fun racing, this game is for you »
« This follow-up to "Burnout 3" is just as exhilarating. It features a darker look, slicker vehicles, more takedowns and a harder rocking soundtrack. The track designs have also been upgraded with alternate routes and shortcuts. However, gameplay is less innovative and the new addition of "Traffic Checking" makes things too easy. While "Revenge" is basically an updated "Burnout 3", it still ranks up with the greatest racers ever made. I would rate this with a 9.1 out of 10. »
« This game was so fun and incredible for it's XBOX hardware. »
« Played Burnout 3 before playing Revenge and considered the best arcade racing game experience EVER. I was very amazed when Burnout Revenge not only managed to keep that great formula but to also improve on it. If Burnout 3 is a 10/10 for me this is a 11/10. A shame I can't actually give it that rating here. Absolutely recommend it, very fun. Also I love the soundtrack »
