description Burnout Revenge Overview
Burnout Revenge is a 2005 arcade racing game developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The fourth major installment in the Burnout series, it refines the high-speed, aggressive driving mechanics established in its predecessor, Burnout 3: Takedown. A key new feature is "traffic-checking," which allows players to slam same-direction traffic out of the way to use as weapons against rivals, altering the flow of the race. The game emphasizes destructive combat and encourages players to build up their boost meter by taking down opponents or causing large-scale wrecks.
