It’s one thing to race a car; it’s quite another to run into high-traffic traffic, especially when competing for points based on how spectacularly you crash. This concept underpins Burnout 2, which, compared to the first game, introduces new game types and increases top speeds. As is customary, the objective is to race across real-life streets as quickly as possible, weaving around the traffic in front of you while avoiding collisions.
The street racing game Burnout is all about going fast and slamming into other cars. You get to drive through cities with traffic and existing city infrastructure, which sets it apart from many other driving games focusing on closed-course driving. The designers have developed the city districts and adjacent areas, as well as the racecourses that have been incorporated throughout the streets. Consequently, certain sections of race courses frequently overlap with other sections of the routes used for different events. In addition, rather than promoting defensive and intelligent driving, the game Burnout heavily encourages players to drive offensively. Driving on the wrong side of the road, drifting, narrowly missing oncoming traffic, and jumping are all behaviors that contribute to the “burnout” meter for your boost. You can use speed increases and jumps to assist you in going around vehicles like buses and trucks and anything else in your path. When other drivers complain about how irritating and risky your driving is, you get a more significant bump.
Burnout 2 includes a comprehensive campaign as well as a custom car campaign. You begin the game with the ability to unlock conventional cars and tracks, and as you progress through the story, you unlock additional raceways, like one-way sprints and reverse circuits. There are approximately 20 different automobiles that may be opened, including a Nascar, a mafia car from the 1920s, a Japanese muscle car, and several customized vehicles with unique paint jobs and better statistics.
In addition to the familiar sensation of speed and exceptionally accurate crash effects, the new version of Point of Impact introduces several new game types. In the Pursuit mode, you take on the role of a police officer and try to catch the racers who are going too fast. However, the only way to win is to cause them to crash out of the competition. Alternatively, you and a friend could switch places, and you can get away from a friend even though he is after you and trying to catch you. Crash mode, as its name suggests, compels you to drive into congested junctions in the hopes of causing as many accidents as possible with as many vehicles as possible. The more devastating the impact, the better. The race for the highest score can include a maximum of four participants.
In addition to that, there are training and two-player racing modes provided.
