MediaKick: "With all of the new control mechanics on the upcoming PlayStation Vita, it seems to be crying out for suitable and effective uses of the likes of the touchscreen and gyrometers. Well, if you have read my Burnout Crash review then you will notice I had hinted at the title being more suited to the handheld market. As we know there are numerous devices out there providing handheld gaming to the masses, more so with practically each new smartphone bringing better hardware with it for entertainment on the go. However, when I play Burnout Crash I cannot help but think of how Criterion and EA could really make something special for Sony’s soon-to-be-released Vita."
Cultured Vultures: The Burnout series has plenty of great games to play, but which one is definitively the best? We're here to rank them all.
I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.
Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.
That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.
I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.
After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.
Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.
Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

I wasn't interesting at playing this on PS3 but maybe if it was on Vita, I'd be more compelled to get it for some 15 minute sessions.
Would love to see a real turnout game on the Vita.
