Reviewed on 2008-07-18 Burnout/Dominator The epitome of racing games. Use your burnout feature to smash into cars then watch them explode. There is a feature in this game that allows the player to slow down time after a crash to allow the player to "guide the crash" in to oncoming traffic. If you tap another player while you are crashing you are forgiven the crash and placed back on the track doing an automatic burnout. This keeps the game moving at high speed no matter how much you crash. The better you place in each event builds the player's points and eventually you can unlock more events and earn cars.

Reviewed on 2008-06-25 NO CRASH MODE! Wha? Previous to this release every Burnout game has included a crash mode. THIS DOES NOT! I was extremely disappointed.

Reviewed on 2008-05-17 Frustrating filler PROS ++ Great sense of speed as always! ++ Excellent graphics (PSP) and sound ++ Good variety of cars and events ++ Burnout chaining!! CONS -- NO CRASH MODE?!? -- Only 4 tracks and 6 types of events -- Traffic is sometimes impossible to make out at a distance -- Very unbalanced AI: you can chain 10x burnouts in a race (or crash 10 times) and still find yourself near other cars -- Arbitrary finish lines make it impossible to achieve Gold medals in certain Maniac events -- Sometimes you crash on thin air; some other times you drive RIGHT through another car...?!?!? A fun, if extremely frustrating game that should have been balanced SO much better before it hit the shelves. Plus, as countless others have said, it's clearly a filler before the next-gen Burnout...

Reviewed on 2008-03-17 Prepare to Dominate! You gotta love Burnout. The first Burnout was a run chase-style racing game, the second a crash puzzle game that even had a mode where you could chase down speeds as law enforcement or run from it, the third a game about taking out the competition any which way you can. The fourth... let's not talk about the fourth... and now at last the fifth game in the series proper, a Playstation 2 exclusive about getting back to the roots and getting rid of the uh...gunk that muddied up Burnout: Revenge. So for better or worse this is a very different experience. First of all, crash mode is gone. Yeah, yeah, cry me a river. If you want crash mode go play Burnout 2, 3 or (ugh!) 4. Secondly, some modes using different driving techniques are in. There's Drift Mode where you power slide as much as possible, Near Miss where you try to almost hit as many cars as possible. There's modes where you try to keep Burnout going as long as possible and drive as crazy as possible. And of course there are the requisite races, eliminations, and the oh-so-wonderful Road Rage where you take out as many as possible. You don't have a hub world or a map for event selection, instead selecting events from different series and unlocking more events as you go like in Forza, unlocking new cars along the way. "But..." you may say "I've already played all those other Burnout games. Why should I play this one?" Ahh.... but the main reason surely to play this game is simple: it has some very nice variety in the tracks which allows for some very exciting races and takedowns. You'll find yourself greatly enjoying racing through the Tuscan Hills trying to take out a car AND win the event, and perhaps like me you you'll get a real kick out of taking down your friends again and again. The graphics are about as good as a Playstation 2 game gets. The music is better than previous games in the series (I like Avril's song Girlfriend, so sue me), the tracks are great fun, and the events are at least very different for the most part from the other Burnout games. If you just can't get enough Burnout, or find yourself longing for some more races and takedowns, you can't go wrong with Dominator for the price. Happy crashing!

Reviewed on 2007-11-27 CRASHING, EXPLOSIONS, AWESOME 8.5 OUT OF 10 Though this game is not as good as Burnout Revenge, it's still a lot of fun to play even if it is missing some things like online play and crash mode. Still it's a fun tide-over till until Burnout Paradise hits the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The crashes are still great to watch, and this time when you crash you can blow up your car to take out an opponent or to just raise hell among the commuters by destroying a lot of things. The soundtrack is still solid even if there are some songs that don't belong(Why is the girlfriend song from Avril Lavigne on here?). Burnout has always been the leader in car destruction, and this game proves to be no different, and still stands above pale imitators(Ahem, Full Auto, I'm looking at you). Crashing cars never really gets old if done right and this is a prime example of how it'll never gets old.
