While this game has high polish and detail, I would recommend it to only the most avid drag-racing fans or someone who loves to tinker with cars. Most of its enjoyment, like any simulation, comes from already being interested in and familiar with the simulated craft. The actual racing isn't that fun. Buy Burnout only if you love cars or drag racing.

Despite my harsh critique, I'm not trying to totally downplay Burnout because it will appeal to some, but I really have a hard time trying to actually recommend this title. The game is original and can be fun if you're a serious drag racing nut, but most people, including the casual drag racing fans, won't be pleased with it. Strange incosistencies as far as the level of realism goes mixed with some ho-hum graphics kill most of this game's appeal. The safest thing to do here is wait until this game hits the bargain bin, at which point you can begin considering whether or not to purchase it.

Bethesda Softworks ist für inhaltlich brillante, technisch aber eher mangelhafte Spiele bekannt. Mit Burnout wird der umgekehrte Weg eingeschlagen: Während Grafik und Handling der Drag-Racing-Simulation ansprechend gelöst wurden, kommt der Spielspaß etwas kurz.

Schon nach zehn Sekunden Geradeausfahren ist man ausgebrannt: Dragster-Rennen sind die Quickies der Motorsport-Welt. Wer auch immer die Idee hatte, diese dämlichste aller Rennsport-Varianten auf dem PC zu simulieren, sollte über einen geistigen Ölwechsel nachdenken.
