Burnout Revenge on the XBOX 360 is great, and my friends and I play it constantly.

One thing we like doing is creating a race room where we all pick low riders and spend the entire length of the race slamming each other and taking each other out. Even though this is a core element of Burnout, our goal is not to finish but to cause utter chaos, to lay in wait in an alley or turn around and slam into each other head on. It's basically a rolling demolition derby.

Burnout's Road Rage is similar in that it's not so much the race as it is the hunt. But once you take the other drivers out, the game ends, and since one team IS trying to make it to the finish line alive, there isn't that all-out, in-your-face, royal beat-down element as with our low rider grudge matches, where we can smash and slam over and over. We actually get bummed when the finish line comes into view, and we try to shove each other over it since, in this case, finishing is the last thing any of us want to do.

We've gotten random strangers on XBOX Live to join in and they find it to be a nice spin to the already-great Burnout game variations.

Thanks for reading this... Keep up the good work.

Hello,

I am writing about the after-crash screen on Xbox Live on Burnout Revenge for the Xbox 360 (the one that shows your car smashed after a crash before you resume racing). I have had numerous occasions where a fellow racer would be 0.5 miles behind me, only to have him 0.1 miles AHEAD of me when I come out of that screen, and eventually 0.5 Miles ahead before I could get a full head of steam with the car. I ask that you please shorten the time you are held in this screen, it can really become a pain.

Also, I ask that you please reset the top 20 downloads section at least 2-3 times a month, instead of the current 1 time a month. Many people simply download their clips as soon as it resets, leaving us legit downloaders unable to get into the top 20 and get the achievement.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Derek Steidle

First off I wanna compliment you on a series of games that I have always loved, and look forward to the next incarnation.

Right, my question is, some time ago on Burnout Revenge on original Xbox, our room was graced with the presence of a gamer called "cgjin". The guy had a few races with us, but seemed more interested in what we thought of Burnout, and what could be improved, after a few races i asked the guy if he worked for you guys, then he left.

I thought the "cg" bit of the gamertag could stand for Criterion Games? Me and all my mates have always thought it was a Criterion guy, but we have no way of confirmation. Is there any way you could confirm if it was an employee or not?

You don't have to answer on the site if you don't wanna, but we would like to know. Keep up the excellent work people!

Help please, I'm playing Burnout 3 again. I haven't played it in a while. I loaded my old profile but when I go to play multi-player, everything is unselectable except Crash Party. We used to play multi all the time but now there is something wrong.

Can you help?

Is Burnout 3 available for Gamecube?

If so is there a way I can order it?

Practically impossible to find in my area.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hey Criterion,

I just had a few questions about Revenge on the 360... Maybe you can help answer some of them.

First of all, I was wondering if you consider drift jumping to be cheating or not. As you probably know, a lot of the top 1000 ranked racers use drift jumping to get their cars going past 209 MPH off jumps, and they can maintain this speed for a couple seconds coming off the jump. Is this a glitch, or did you guys intentionally put this technique in the game? It's a lot of fun to do and takes skill.

Also, are there any plans to have a tournament for Revenge someday? Or maybe the next Burnout? I've always wanted to be in a tournament even though I probably wouldn't win.

And my last question... Any plans to stop some of the "cheating" going on online? A bunch of the top 20 players got their ranks by setting up unbalanced road rage matches, giving their team 209 mph cars and the opposing team 160 mph cars, so that they get an easy win. Another problem is the people who only race people they know they can beat - for example, some of the racers in the top 20 will only race people outside of the top 100 range because they would lose rank if they played against other very good racers. When people do this, the ranking system doesn't work very well because some of the good racers have no chance of playing those ranked higher than them...

Anyway, thanks for taking a look at these questions... but Burnout 5 better be good... :-)

I have played every Burnout game that you have made for Playstation 2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have just one suggestion for the new edition of Burnout for Xbox 360. PLEASE allow me to choose whether I want to have gas/brake located on the triggers or on the right joystick. You gave Playstation 2 owners this option, but when I played Burnout Revenge on the original Xbox there was no option like this at all. I even purchased Burnout Revenge a second time for the Xbox 360, and yet again there was no option to map the gas/brake to the right joystick. I would hope that given the hardware improvements of the 360 you would give us the option to completely map our controllers as we see fit. But, maybe that's asking a bit much.

I personally like to have the gas/brake on the right joystick whether I'm playing on a Playstation or on my Xbox 360. With the Playstation 3 being way too expensive, I will purchase the next Burnout on Xbox 360. Please, please, please let me be able to map out my controller to my preferences. I speak not only for myself, but for Xbox 360 racing game lovers everywhere. One final thing: you guys ROCK!!! and I can't wait for the new Burnout!

i am a big fan of your Burnout series. It is the most popular game online... and the only one I play on my 360. My question is are there going to be any downloads for Burnout? Some new tracks would be great. I don't really care about cars because I am a die-hard Revenge Racer. Thank you and keep up the great work

Please! Please! Include 4 players split screen for Xbox 360!!

Friends and I get together all the time to play and would love to go against each other in a race but unfortunately your games have only ever had two-player split which is ok but it would be so much better for an arcade racer like Burnout to be 4-player split screen.

Hope it makes it in or I may have to choose a different game.

Thank You
