Still lots of fun to play on the original Xbox -- requires more skill (to build up the Burnout bar) compared to Burnout 3 and 4. This one is much more about near-misses and sliding than the follow-up games in the series, which are more about Teh Insane SPEED... from Amazon.com Burnout 2 is supreme. It is easy enough for a complete novice to have a laugh at, and cause the most extreme petrolhead to be completely at one. from Amazon.com Burnout 2: Point of Impact, is one wicked racing game. You race through on-coming traffic and try to reach the finish line, in the best time possible. from Amazon.com The speed was impossible. And I was instantly transported all over the world to the most amazing roadways imaginable, all while the perfect techno driving music played in my head. When I wished it, I could become a traffic cop and hit runaway cars repeatedly to make them stop in an awesome game of cat and mouse. Oh yeah, and I was rewarded for driving recklessly with a nitrous boost that makes the Fast and the Furious look like kids stuff. from Amazon.com I first saw this game at a friend's place. When he popped it in I didn't really think I'd be interested since I don't typically play racing games. But within about ten minutes I was completely hooked and I ordered a copy for myself a few days later.

Crash mode, where you try to plow into other cars and rack up millions of dollars in damage, was my early favorite. It only takes a minute to play each round so it's great if you just want to relax for a few minutes before you have to do something else...

from Amazon.com This is truly a facinating game. I was never really into racing games until I saw the trailer for Burnout 2. As the other reviews have mentioned the incredible crash mode and crash physics, however, no one has mentioned mutliplayer (split screen) pursuit mode (similar to that in Driver 2). from Amazon.com To me that's what games should be! It is fun to just pick up and play rather than frustrating. Great for a casual or hard core gamer. This one is tons of fun. from Amazon.com This is an incredibly entertaining game! The gameplay is very arcady, which matches the style of game perfectly. This game is all about driving fast in heavy traffic, and everything in the game supports that, from the great level (track) design to the handling of the cars. from Amazon.com Burnout 2 is a great daily driver of a game. It is perfect for quick spins and thrills, and for taking the family out for a good time. from Amazon.com I work in film production, and, generally, my life is very, very complicated. When I sit down with a videogame, I want something, which unlike my real life, is simple and easy to understand, accompanied by a hair-rasing adrenaline rush. Burnout 2 delivers in spades!

No it's not "reality based", but hey, I have a real car for that. What it is though, is internally consistent, so its fantasy physics quickly become believable.

I also love the linear stucture.
