This is a fairly old game, but I wanted to review this bad boy for your viewing pleasure. "Burnout 2: Point of Impact" is no Gran Turismo. No Gran Turismo in the sense of knowing braking points, pitting every now and then, and of course, doing it all over again while racing like a professional. This game wants you to be mean and aggressive. The way to go in this game is to drive in the wrong lane, nearly miss cars, get air, drift in corners, and boom! You activate the turbos and speedfreak like you never speedfreaked before. When I played this game, I had the GameCube version. So here are my quick stats before moving on:

Concept and Execution: 8/10
Graphics: 8.5/10 (except some of the cartoony-ness of the cars)
Sound: 7.75/10
Music: 7.75/10
Gameplay: 9/25.10 (very fun)
Overall: 9/10

Here are my comments about the game:
PROS: Arcade action, nice variety of environments, wickedly fun racing, Crash Mode can be very fun. Biggest plus: crashes, and all other intricate details rarely slows down the game. Pop-ups are also minimal. Well executed. Also, enjoy the BURNOUT!

CONS: for those who want fiery wrecks, won't get them here. The police car's lights from the chase camera can be a distraction in looking ahead. Races can be quite challenging depending upon how focused you are during driving. Some Crash missions can be rather tricky to know how to rack up the most points.

VERDICT: fairly old game, but this is highly addictive and easy to get into once you get the hang of it. Get it now if you don't already.
 
I got it in the summer and I liked the crash feature/mode. Otherwise, the gameplay got boring for me.
 
9 / 25.10 ? That doesn't sound so great... (Look at me... I messed up Jordan's name... Called the new Ford GT the GT 40...... And I'm poking fun of a minor mistake... :ouch: )

Thats a joke!! (I'm a joke really~) Yeah I bought the game for my cousin~ And we had a blast!! I'm looking forward to the 3th installment!! (I don't have money... And Def Jam is up my list for September's must buy.....)

Now if only all those street racing games would have crashes like Burn Out 2~ I would be happy!! (I don't even bother with 3's godly crashes~)
 
Great game. Burnout 2 is still one of my fav multiplayer games, 'Crash' is just awesome :D Looking forward to my delivery of Burnout 3 tommorow!
 
i like burnout 2 better than burnout 3 do you know why? because burnout 3 is not about racing it is about CRASHING it is Dumb peoples fun that cant race for Sh** yay lets crash like 100 times for a "high score" into traffic. plain STUPID.but no one else has the same opinion they all think its great so i must be the odd one out.
 
I got sick of Burnout 3 in one try @ The Sony Store where i was just seeing how it was. The high score was like 7,200 and then i got 40,407 :lol:.
