Item Description

Most racing games punish reckless driving. Criterion's first Burnout pays you for it. Swing into oncoming traffic, scrape past traffic with inches to spare, power-slide through a junction at full speed, and the boost meter fills. Spend a full bar and you trigger a Burnout, a surge of speed, and if you keep driving like a maniac while boosting you can chain one Burnout straight into the next. That loop of risk and reward is the foundation the whole series was built on.

The roads are packed with real traffic, cross junctions and roadside scenery, and when you misjudge a gap the game shows the wreck from several camera angles before dropping you back in with a fresh car and some of your hard-earned boost gone. Courses are styled after European and American locations, like the Paris-inspired River City and the Costa del Sol-flavored Harbour Town, and even the traffic changes by continent, down to the style of the taxis.

Championship mode is the main campaign, with events of three or four races against three rivals and steadily faster cars. Clearing an event unlocks a Face Off challenge, and winning it adds a new car to your garage. Single Race, Time Attack and two-player split-screen round things out, and completing the European and American events unlocks marathon endurance races that run through multiple locations in one go. Cars cover the supermini, saloon, pickup and muscle classes.

The GameCube version arrived in 2002 from Acclaim, running on Criterion's own RenderWare technology, and it earned strong reviews. Burnout 2 would add Crash mode and later entries made takedowns the main attraction, which makes this first game the purest version of the original idea: just you, the traffic and the boost bar. If you have played the later entries, this is where the series started.
