    Overview

    No Caption Provided

    Burnout Revenge, sometimes known as Burnout Revenge: Battle Racing Ignited, is a street racing game developed by Criterion Games and published by EA for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in North America on September 13, 2005, in Europe on September 23, 2005, and in Japan (PS2 only) on October 20, 2005.

    The fourth installment of the Burnout series, as well as the sequel to Burnout 3: Takedown, Burnout Revenge builds on its predecessors with new car combat mechanics, including "traffic checking" (where players can now ram into most same-way traffic without crashing, also allowing them to propel traffic into opposing racers for a "Traffic Takedown") and "Crashbreakers" (where crashed players can use their remaining boost to self-destruct in an effort to takedown opposing racers with the blast).

    The game later received an updated release for the Xbox 360 in North America on March 7, 2006, in Europe on March 17, 2006, and in Japan on March 23, 2006. Along with new high-definition graphics (including vehicle damage), this version includes new junctions for Crash Mode, an online "Revenge Rivals" system (which tracks the number of times they've taken out, or be taken out by, any given player), online replay clip sharing ("Burnout Clips"), and new sponsored liveries (some of which were released as DLC, and some of which were released as kiosk downloads at participating North American stores). This version was later released digitally on August 25, 2009 and was made backwards-compatible with the Xbox One on May 2018.

    The game later received two different sequels in 2007: the mainline Burnout Paradise (which focused on open world gameplay) and Burnout Dominator (which brought back several mechanics from earlier games in the series). Some gameplay mechanics, namely "traffic checking" and Crashbreakers, did not return for either sequel.

    Gameplay

    Revenge features some new additions as well as some tweaking to gameplay modes found in earlier Burnout titles. In this game racers can, for the first time, ram same way traffic into other racers to get a “Takedown”, the quickest and most entertaining way of gaining points and boost in the game. This traffic checking effectively lets ram through traffic turns other cars into tools of destruction rather than a nuisance to maneuver around. Players can also rain hell down upon opponents through vertical takedowns, done through going off ramps and landing on top of others.

    In terms of gameplay modes, Revenge more-or-less follows the precedent set by its predecessor Takedown. However, a new mode is added in Revenge, called "Traffic Attack". In this mode, players use same way traffic ramming to accumulate points. Changes to the series' Crash mode are also made in Revenge, though the premise is basically the same.

    In single-player, drivers compete in a world tour of 169 events traversing three continents in ten different ranks. Completing events increases the player's rank and unlocks new events as a result. Revenge also features online support where players can either do traditional races or compete in Crash modes to see who can cause the most destruction in intersections and gain the most points as a result.

    Ranks

    The single player portion of the game features ranks to signify the player's progress in the game. First off, a player can earn up to five stars in each event; * (OK), ** (Good), *** (Great), **** (Awesome), ***** (Perfect). Only by getting a four star rating for your event performance and a gold medal can the player get five stars for the event. So essentially a gold medal gives you one more star, a silver none, and a bronze will subtract one. The stars received in the event will be subtracted from the amount need to reach the next rank.

    Stars needed to get to each rank

    • Rank 1: Harmless
    • Rank 2: Unsafe - 20 stars
    • Rank 3: Reckless - 24 stars
    • Rank 4: Offensive - 28 stars
    • Rank 5: Fearless - 34 stars
    • Rank 6: Dangerous - 42 stars
    • Rank 7: Insane - 50 stars
    • Rank 8: Maniac - 58 stars
    • Rank 9: Assassin - 67 stars
    • Rank 10: Dominator - 77 stars
    • Rank 11: Elite - 148 stars

    Stars available on each rank level

    • Rank 1: 60 stars
    • Rank 2: 70 stars
    • Rank 3: 70 stars
    • Rank 4: 75 stars
    • Rank 5: 80 stars
    • Rank 6: 80 stars
    • Rank 7: 90 stars
    • Rank 8: 90 stars
