To jump online and totally beat the crap out of someone else's ride? That doesn't smack of fun to you?
73
A fairly bare-bones package, but it's a fun one, especially at a $20 price point.
70
For a budget game this one has plenty of replay value and the extra modes help it from becoming old. You may pop on for an hour one night and the next time play for hours.
70
A fun, if shallow, game that is geared for intermediate gamers that just want to break something and not have to spend half a day learning which button does what.
60
The complete insanity that occurs and the hollowed-out wrecks that are left in its wake provide cheap thrills, and the online play extends the game's replay value just a bit. Also, while Crash 'N' Burn's music is positively awful, its graphics, special effects, and car customization options more than make up for it.
58
The physics and collision detection are adequate for minor collisions, but are cartoony and simply laughable in major ones.
50
You're not going to get a much plainer-looking Xbox game. [Jan 2005, p.99]

An amazing racing game for the PS2! While it may not seem like much at first, this game was unique in that it had damage modes and physics! Hitting walls or other racers could rip off hoods, bumpers, side skirts, or even the paneling of the car itself! You could then hit the debris on later LAPD damaging your car further!
In addition, there is multiple gamemodes, such as arena modes with “hot potato” with the classic timed bomb, or a free-for-all or team deathmatch where the last cars standing win. Nitrous can be used in most races or gamemodes to deal more damage to cars or simply move faster and take less damage.
You can play multiplayer with this game, and at one point it was apparently possible to play online multiplayer! Though I never got to experience this myself, LAN play was always fun!
