Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Prepare to enter the nitrous-fuelled world of Crash 'n' Burn. Crash 'n' Burn is a brutal arcade-style driving game where the aim is not just to win races, but to survive them!

Choose your car, paint it and personalise it. Build it up with new components, giant spoilers and reinforced fenders. Supercharge it, fill it with nitrous and take it to the back street circuits of Miami, San Francisco, L.A. and New York. You're at the back of the pack, grid position sixteen with fifteen cars ahead of you. Your primary objective is to take first place; your secondary objective is to run everyone else off the road. Crunch them into the barrier, rip, shred and tear sheet metal from their frames, leaving burning engine blocks and melted tires in your wake. The last driver with four wheels wins. Then do it again... online.

Crash 'n' Burn is the first ever driving game to provide online support for up to 16 players. From Race, to Kamikaze, through to Bomb Tag and Last Man Standing, the game has a wealth of game modes. Dodge on-track wreckage, fire trails and oil slicks as you destroy anyone who gets in your way of being crowned "Lord of the Mash-up".

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun..., 24 Dec 2004
I was quite suprised by the first two reviews here for this game, they were both very negative. I found this game a hell of a lot of fun, and kept playing most days until I had finished most of it.

The action is very intense and pure, no race is ever boring and there's plenty of game modes and tracks to keep you interested.
I'd say the graphics are pretty good considering how much action is going on on the screen at any one time. You can have as many as 16 cars all smashing to pieces before your eyes along with oil slicks and debris, and the framerate remains respectable throughout.

The game physics in general is also good. You can get realistic pile ups of cars which drive over bumps in the track / ramps etc. There is one very annoying aspect of the car physics though and that is that you tend to get stuck to cars when you've hit them and are trying to drive away. This does get very frustrating at times, but you can learn to avoid those kinds of situations with a bit of practice.

The racing AI is also pretty good for the most part, but occasionally some of the drivers behave really stupidly and just drive into objects without even trying to avoid them.

Overall I'd say this was a very good game, not perfect by any means, but well worth a blast. There will be inevitable comparisons with the burnout games, but I personally enjoyed this game a lot more than Burnout 3 even though that is meant to be the 'daddy'. I've not even tried 'live' games with this yet, I'm expecting them to be even more fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Fun Fun with 3 capital F's, 30 April 2005
This is one of the most fun games I have ever played!

Not the best graphics, limited tracks and crap music and even crapper announcer. Fortunatly you can turn off the music and announcer and listen to the cool engine sounds.

What we are left with is a racing game with the most game types ever and the best of the bunch is Kamakazie which is a riot. This game is all about avoiding everyone elses wreckage to win the race. You get to modify your car and paint it any colour you wish and then add decals and body kit items etc. Brilliant fun and many a gaudy car to be seen. This game may not be for those who take gaming a bit to seriously, personally I play to have a laugh and this game makes me laugh until I hurt.

If you have Live then buy this game now... it still has a good number of die hard fans playing it every evening. This is the most fun racer ever, I should know because I have all of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like it!!!, 25 Dec 2004
By megamarble "dlb008" (South Yorks, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Ok I may be in a minority by writing this but i actually like this game. It's not in the same league as burnout 3 or Project gotham racing 2 but i think it is an enjoyable, fun game. I do agree that the graphics are not impressive but they don't make a game alone! I particularly like the Kamakaze mode where 8 car start a race clockwise and the other 8 start anticlockwise and the first to 4 laps wins! A great idea i've never seen before.
