Burnout Dominator

[Perkar]

this title completely flew under the radar for me, especially with all the hype surrounding burnout 5. i just found out about it a couple weeks ago. a ps2/psp-only title, apparently this one is all about the racing and sense of speed... completely devoid of any crash modes. it comes out march 7th.

i for one am very excited about this... my ps2 was purchased for the sake of playing guitar hero, and besides gh/gh2, it's been pretty much neglected. soon it will be getting some sweet burnout lovin'.

as far as the game goes, crash mode has always been ok... quick little diversions. but for me, burnout is all about the racing, and with what i've read this title is going to deliver some solid racing.

anyone else pumped for this game?

I would imagine it will be enjoyable crash frames or not, because the Burnout series tends to deliver with its games.

I'll wait for the all crash version of Burnout.

Ah what am I saying, I'm a Burnout whore, I'll be on this one.

I wish they'd make a PC version of Burnout... you'd think they would by now

who's picked this up? i haven't played it in a few days (only really played it the day it came out and the day after... and i'm 63% complete and 10.5 hours in), but i've enjoyed it immensely. i never really cared for the crash mode, so i haven't missed it. what i do miss is the trigger setup on the xbox controller, as i'm used to playing burnout. holding in the X button on the dualshock gets tiring, and hard on my thumb i also miss traffic checking.

but this one is all about the racing, and i can definitely appreciate that. i LOVE the re-addition of burnout chaining (from burnout 2). my best burnout chain is 16x so far, and i've accomplished a few burning laps (using boost for an entire lap). the maniac challenges are also entertaining (doing enough dangerous driving to keep the boost meter up for as long as possible).

i never finished revenge, but played through 1, 2, and 3. 3 being the peak of the series for me. i definitely say this is easily as good as 2, probably better. it would be damn near on par with 3 if it were only available on the xb...

I'll probably pick this up when it hits $20. I still haven't even finished Revenge yet.

I guess it's not surprising that it's not on Xbox, since a lot of stores don't even have a Xbox1 section (besides PH or clearance titles) but it's going the be hard going back to PS2 graphics and having to listen to the shitty emo soundtrack instead of burned songs.

i also miss traffic checking.

lol The omission of traffic checking is the only reason I'm considering buying this one. I found it just made the game too easy. That being said, the main reason I haven't bought it is the omission of the crash mode XD

IMHO, Burnout 3 still remains one of the greatest games of all time,and I was sorely disappointed by Revenge. Dominator looks good, but I'll probably buy into the hype and wait for 5.
