Criterion Games announces Burnout Crash!
Game:
Burnout:
BurnoutAholics:
The rumors have been confirmed. Burnout CRASH! is coming as a download only title to XBox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network this fall.
Criterion Games have gone back to their roots with Burnout CRASH! and reinvented the fan favourite Crash Mode as a brand new installment in the award-winning Burnout series. The new game is inspired by pinball, retro music and game shows.
It sounds like the gameplay will be as fun and simple as in the previous games. Drive in to an intersection, cause a massive pile-up and blow up everything in sight.
This will be a high score driven game and it will feature a new iteration of Autolog called Crashwall. Online multiplayer will be a turn based head-to-head high score battle as in Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge.
The XBLA version will be compatible with Kinect. Featuring a Kinect only mode in which two teams can use gestural controls to crash and burn in a party battle!
It will be interesting to see how they utilize the power of Kinect in Burnout CRASH! This is what we know so far from Gamespots Hands On "with Kinect controls you need to jump into the air to trigger another explosion, and step in various directions around you to control the "aftertouch" direction of your demolished but still very much moving car."
Screenshots and trailer is available here: http://www.criteriongames.com/CRASH/
We are really looking forward to this new Burnout game and will keep you updated.

Your not the only one who feels that way
From the comments I have read around the interwebs it seems like the majority of the Burnout community is less than impressed.
It seems similar to the XBLA titles that I play more regularly then I play Burnout now anyway, so I am really looking forward to playing an XBLA game with a Burnout spin on it.
Being a download only game, it was never going to WOW like a disc game could. The only thing left to judge this on will be the price.
I hope it will suit everyones pocket, maybe if the price point is right (see what I did there, I can make gameshow references too!) the naysayers will buy it anyway and find they actually have fun playing the game.
I really like that it is stepping away from realism and embracing being a video game!
