Similar to its predecessor ''[[Burnout 3: Takedown]]'', ''Revenge'' focuses on a mixture of racing in the midst of rush-hour traffic, and vehicular combat; players use the cars themselves as weapons. ''Revenge'' also expands on the combat side of its gameplay with new features such as "traffic checking" (ramming same-way traffic), Vertical Takedowns (landing on a rival car after the player's car drives over a jump), a new game type (Traffic Attack) and significant changes to the gameplay of Crash mode (a game type where players attempt to cause as large a crash as possible). A sequel to ''Burnout Revenge'', titled ''[[Burnout Paradise]]'', was released for the [[PlayStation 3]] and [[Xbox 360]] on [[January 22]], [[2008]]. ==Gameplay== In ''Burnout Revenge'', players compete in a range of racing game types with varying aims. These take place within rush-hour traffic, and include circuit racing, Road Rage (where players cause as many rivals to crash as possible within a time limit, or until the player's car is wrecked), Burning Lap (a single-lap, single-racer time attack mode), Eliminator (a circuit race where every thirty seconds, the last-placed racer's car is detonated; the race continues until only one racer is left), and Crash (where the player is placed at a junction with the aim of accumulating as many "Crash Dollars" as possible). A new gameplay feature in ''Burnout Revenge'' is the ability to ram same-way small to medium traffic, known as "traffic checking", propelling the rammed car forward; the event in which a "checked" car hits a rival is considered a Takedown. Traffic checking is the focus of a new race type, Traffic Attack (whereby a player must earn a set amount of Crash Dollars through checking traffic). During these events, players have access to a limited amount of boost which is acquired through various dangerous driving techniques, including but not limited to driving on the wrong side of the road, tailgating opponents and drifting. Unique to the series is the concept of battling other rivals; unlike other video games in the racing genre, players are encouraged, and sometimes even required, to ram rival cars and cause traffic to crash. Causing a rival to crash is referred to as a "Takedown", rewarding the player by extending the length of their boost gauge and completely refilling it. In designated events, boost can also be used to activate a "Crashbreaker" during a crash, detonating the car and causing other nearby cars to crash. In the main single-player game mode, players compete in a world tour consisting of 169 events across three continents, divided into a series of 10 "ranks". The ranks which a player has access to is determined by their "Revenge Rank", which increases after completing events. By increasing their Rank sufficiently, the player "ranks up" and unlocks the next rank of events. The game also features support for multiplayer gameplay, both online and offline. In addition to the racing modes, the game features three types of Crash modes: Crash Battle (multiple players attempt a junction at the same time), Crash Party (players take turns at attempting junctions across several rounds), and Crash Tour (a golf-like version of Crash Party, with players attempting to accumulate a certain amount of Crash Dollars in as few attempts as possible; after the last round ends the player with the lowest score wins). <!-- Is this notable? Can this be worked sufficiently into the rest of that article? ==Xbox 360 version== The [[Xbox 360]] version of ''Burnout Revenge'' includes several new features and improves the graphics of the game to utilize the power of the next-gen console. The game includes 10 new crash junctions on the Crash Tour. It also includes a vastly improved online mode that introduces online Revenge Rivals. This system allows players to keep track of their number of times they have been taken out or have taken out any given player. The new version also includes a new Burnout Clips feature, which allows to save 30 second clips of any offline race played and can be shared them with other players over [[Xbox Live]]. Furthermore, the Xbox 360 version removes the launch meter from Crash Mode that was seen in the PS2/Xbox version. This version was highly acclaimed. --> <!-- Please try and work this into the article somehow - NO TRIVA SECTIONS PLEASE ==Bonus vehicles== There are two extra vehicles that can be unlocked by the presence of a saved game from another title on the memory card or hard drive when you first create your profile. A ''[[Madden 06|Madden NFL '06]]'' save will unlock the ''Madden Challenge Bus'' and a ''[[Burnout 3: Takedown]]'' save will unlock the ''Dominator Assassin''. Both of these cars are available only for Crash events. They are also available for online use if you own an online adapter. Although it may not be hidden, after reaching the "Elite" rank, you unlock the Black Elite Racer, which has some references to the game, Black. Example, there are bullet holes all around the car, and the license plate on the back reads "Kellar", which is who you play as in Black. <!-- Having a saved game from ''[[Black (video game)|Black]]'' present will unlock the ''Black'' car. ^^^ Can anyone confirm this? The only references I can find on the net are copied from this page.' If true, is it also crash-only? Also there is the brand new 360 car you get --> ==Downloadable content== The [[Xbox 360]] version of ''Burnout Revenge'' was the first game to take advantage of kiosk downloads in North America, where players could take their [[Xbox 360 components and accessories#Storage|Xbox 360 Memory Unit]] to participating stores such as [[GameStop]], [[Circuit City]], and [[Best Buy]], and download new content for the game onto it. The provided content varied between kiosks. [[Xbox Live Marketplace]] content is also available in the form of new cars, including: *[[Alienware]] Car *[[Dolby]] Car *[[Monster]] Car *[[Plantronics]] Car *[[Spike TV]] Car *[[Yellowcard]] Car <!-- Discussing this on the talk page - L337 kybldmstr --> ==Tracks== {| class="wikitable" !
