Blaargh!!! Burnout 2!

[hezeuschrist]

Oh man, I'm pissed. I originally wanted this game for the Gamecube, but I was buying it at my stores buy 2 get one free pre-viewed sale and all we had it on was PS2. I had no idea there are only HALF the crash levels in the PS2 version as there are in the Gamecube version. I was at a friends house the other night and at that time I had only gone through 12 or so crashes on PS2... we went through all 30 on gamecube, and I come home to play it tonight and see that it only goes up to 15. No problem i say, get all golds in those 15 and I'll unlock more!

"Congratulations! You have finished Crash Mode!"

Aaaargh.

yea, that does suck...I have the xbox version and it rocks.

It sucks greatly when companies release a game for the PS2, GC, and XBOX, and they give one or two versions a clear advantage over the others. I'm guessing that there are many of us that only have a PS2. Okay, so hezeus apparently has the GC as well, but he could only get it on the PS2. Can't they just make it equal for all systems so those who don't have all three consoles don't get shafted? *sigh* :shameful:

well ps2 did get it earlier.

so for gamers who got it earlier there's no incentive to get it on another console, it distingushes it on the other system and also awards them for the wait.

but shit I didn't know the GC has more crash levels, crap...time to consider a trade in.

As I know a couple of people who work for Criterion (who made Burnout), Acclaim almost didn't ask for Xbox and GC versions of the sequel. It was their call and in the end, they actioned the porting over. But in the intervening space of time, they got to add more crash setups, tweaked graphics, bug fixes and for the Xbox of course, extra stuff only it could handle.

B2 on Cube isn't that easy to find so I hear... took me a month to get a copy back at the time of release.

Perkar just picked up a copy for GC at Meijer last week for $20 new :(

I paid less than $10 for the PS2 version, but I still feel ripped off

Is this games cameras angles as bad as the first one?

[Perkar]

speaking of which... i really need to get cracking on this goddamn game. MK:DA has been taking up all my gaming time lately, and that needs to change... badly.

Nope. I didn't think the first game had such bad camera angles anyhow.

The second one is by far the best racer released last year. Little boys play Mario Kart, men play Burnout 2!

It does suck that the other versions have less features, can't be mad that Microsoft has better hardware to work with sometimes. Atleast you guys got free roam in Wreckless :o

I've got this game on Xbox too. I guess that's what they meant by "Developer's Cut". My girlfriend and I are addicted to this game!

[Perkar]

i thought the xbox exclusive content is pretty much limited to online scoring... that added feature really doesn't thrill me...
