2001, Game of the Year (Runoff)

[SvennoJ]

I was looking for Burnout for 2002, but it already came out in 2001!

Back when Burnout still required a lot of skill, any slight touch with another car was fatal. That made it all the more exhilarating to race through traffic with adrenaline pumping close calls trying to beat the timer. My favorite was using the city bus in rush hour reverse, making the perfect run chaining boosts together in the bus. The original Burnout is a game we have come back to a lot over the years as my dad kept a ps2 hooked up to their TV to play Burnout every time I came by to visit. Always fun to do some more split-screen runs.

Please make a new main stream Burnout game, it's been so long since Burnout Paradise. One with proper crash challenges as well, Paradise botched that. It was so much fun to swap the controller around in crash junction challenges.
