Burnout CRASH!, the latest instalment in the acclaimed Burnout series, will be released via Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network in August, Criterion has announced.
Returning to its roots, Burnout CRASH! brings back the popular Crash mode, only this time from an overhead perspective, and uses Autolog.
Players are rewarded for causing traffic chaos by crashing into cars, triggering explosions and destroying everything in sight. Thanks to Autolog players will be able to connect, compete and compare high scores, as well as use the all new Autolog Challenges feature to go head to head with their friends.
“Burnout CRASH! is a crazy mix of pinball and game shows,” said Richard Franke, creative director, Burnout CRASH! “We’ve evolved the core gameplay which everyone loved about Crash Mode, and expanded the whole experience using music, style and Autolog to create what we feel is the most mindless fun you can have on any gaming platform.”
The game will offer three game modes and 18 crash junctions in six locations, each requiring different skills and strategies. Burnout CRASH! Is also EA’s first Xbox LIVE Arcade title to feature a game mode designed exclusively for Kinect, in which two teams use gesture controls to play on one television.
Criterion has stated that Burnout CRASH was originally intended to be released on the Wii. The game was also being design so you could draw your own roads using the Wii Remote. Criterion scrapped it because it wasn’t fun.
