Burnout Dominator

"Removing the greatest feature means having no originality"

A successful game to the series named burnout. Since the beginning of this game, it's uniqueness was counted because unlike other games, this has a crash scenario in which you'll have to start a crash which sooner or later will become a huge traffic jam. Up to its date graphics which makes you feel good about it. But in this game, they had taken out the crash scenario, which means, having no originality.

Quick word to you: Great, engrossing and almost perfect to everybody but not to me.

Great in graphics, style, uniqueness, sound and even the story which was branded "World Tour". You can't take your fingers off your PS2 if you started playing this for the first time. Not a major flaw but some minor ones, which means that....... this game is almost perfect.

Graphics: 9/10

Great graphics! If you boost, the screen will make you feel like you're actually in the car, driving at full speed. If you shunt, yellow-like dots will appear. Notice your surroundings? Nice! Too bad you can't tour there because the game blocks other roads other than your path. Crashing is also great in the last Burnout but not here. Pressing the crash breaker and see your rivals toasted as you perform a crash takedown.

Sounds: 9/10

The music is rock and the tune is great! Once you're in the game menu, you'll hear different musics interchanging every 3-5 mins. Burnout must had recorded great tracks to add in their game. The nicest idea. Not only Burnout is thrilling in the game, but also in sounds too!

Originality: 8/10

Many games are based on racing only. Unlocking cars will be through race. Differ Burnout. It's unique crash scenario in different locations give you the ultimate challenge: can you create a massive crash? To experts: Yes. To beginners: Yes. Unfortunately, they had taken out that. This game is easy to learn and once you mastered the basics, try your skills in World tour. Even beginners learn fast. Too fast. The boost bar also counts. Create chains as you drive to oncoming traffic, near misses, takedown opponents and even shunt and slam will be counted to your boost. Just remember that if you crash, there's always the "after touch". Get revenge to the AI that had taken you down. You can also do the crashbreaker.

Story: 10/10

Travel around the world to challenge the game in your ultimate goal: To beat it. Race against unique cars to unlock it, be the master of the road in Road rage, be a high scorer and record your feats at the leaderboards.

Finally, buying this game will be worth it.
