Time to get even in Revenge

Take your destructive nature to the roads once again in Criterion Software's latest Burnout outing, Burnout Revenge. Being the fourth game in the award-winning battle-racing series, Revenge follows the tradition of the latest Burnout series: lush graphic details, exhilirating speed and the feeling of uncontrollable tendency to want to wreck your opponents' car by slamming, shunting and grinding them - all thanks to Criterion's RenderWare. Watch sparks (and cars) fly in virtual realism and sadistic satisfaction, but Revenge takes you on for more than just winning by being the first at the finish line.

Burnout Revenge speaks for itself in its title: revenge. Being bullied by your opponents? Grab them by the ball-bearings and take that specific road bully of yours out in style, whether by normal / signature takedowns or by slamming the unfortunate fellow smack-dab into oncoming traffic. If you can't bring him / her to the traffic, then bring the traffic to them! Revenge ups the ante this time around by allowing players to 'guide' other vehicles on the road onto your opponents' path, sending that poor soul into a show of spectacular lights, debris and spare parts! And that's just part of the fun in Revenge, folks!

Burnout 3: Takedown was an amazing game, and Criterion will be bringing the Revenge up a notch than its predecessor in terms of gameplay, and I hope that means retaining that excellent control responsiveness of Burnout 3 in Revenge. In the meantime, these new screenshots will be your diet staple for the moment until you get to binge out on the retail release of Burnout Revenge. Enjoy!



Ahh, what beautiful scene, depicting peace and serenity...


...but it's not just about admiring pretty pictures only, as you can see the carnage from another view in Burnout Revenge


Revenge's the name, slamming's the game. Detailed cars, locations, destuctions...


...and not forgeting the fireworks from one of your lovely works of pure chaos art as the cars ripped apart in the wake of your road rampage


You can see for miles up ahead of you to plan ahead, but you're better off concentrating on scheming your next rival's annihilation in one of the many ways Burnout Revenge allows you


Call me sadistic, but what a pretty sight... unless that's you totally totalling your own car


Think you got the best of your rivals and can get away with it?


Think again; the AI in Burnout Revenge does not forget, nor does it forgives...
