IGN REVIEW:
Presentation
All the trimmings, fast load times, a more simplified replay system, flashier cars, but still a lack of official licenses. 8.0
Graphics
This score may be the same as the original's, but the visuals are definitely improved. Standards change, but Burnout 2 is still a super-fast, beautiful racer. 8.0
Sound
Brought into the world of DPLII, it now features the separated whish of passing cars and echoing tunnel chambers. Soundtrack composition is also better. 8.0
Gameplay
Much faster gameplay, more cars, more tracks, more everything; king of high-octane racing. But the dumbed down, easier arcade gameplay isn't quite the happy medium we were hoping for. 9.0
Lasting Appeal
Incredibly addictive four-player Crash mode, intense two-player racing, and a far deeper single-player mode. Still missing randomized weather, but this is a great step forward. 8.0
OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 8.5
