Introduction: Returning to the streets in what promises to be the most adrenaline-filled arcade driving game of the year. Burnout 2: Point of Impact is the sequel to Burnout, the racing game that delivered realistic and dangerous handling and some of the most outrageous crashes seen. In Burnout 2: Point of Impact the cars are faster, the tracks are more expansive and the potential for danger has never been higher. Developed by Criterion Games, Burnout 2: Point of Impact includes modes such as ‘Pursuit’, which allows drivers to race a police car in hot pursuit of opponents whilst attempting to ram them off the road. The brand new “Crash” mode allows drivers to perform the most insane crashes and incredible pile-ups ever seen in a video game. GameCube fans can leave their sanity at the starting grid and prepare for the white-knuckle ride of their life. The GameCube version of Burnout 2: Point of Impact boasts major improvements and is all set to take pole position, taking the genre to a new level, with stunning graphics, white-knuckle foot-to-the-floor gameplay and improved crash-scene carnage. |
