It's hard to articulate now just how good the Burnout games looked in the early 2000s. It blew my mind that the PS2 could render such detailed and realistic tracks with lots of traffic cars at a fairly steady 60 fps. Think about it this way, the first Burnout game was released closer to Donkey Kong Country on the Super Nintendo (a console that Nintendo was still supporting in 2001) than the last Burnout game was to 2019.

Acclaim at the time and working with Criterion who were a great developer just blew it out of the water, I remember having the same reaction in 2004 when I saw the processing speed, the really did push the Playstation 2 capabilities , then Xbox came along and it was even smoother than the PS2. A classic game at a time when games were evolving fast in the 3D era

@wobble lunatic Have you ever actually played a Playstation 2 game before? All of the Burnout games on Playstation 2 ran at 60fps in single player and 30fps in split screen. Burnout 2 ran at 480p 60fps and was the first game on Playstation 2 to do so.

I used to love rocking out when you press the burnout button and the music evolves. When I was a kid it used to really make me feel like I was in a movie

Burnout 2 will always be one of my main non-takedown games ever. The cars are so perfect to their own skill and so does the tracks that are in this game. They also have the exclusive paintjobs, crash places that are available only for the Xbox version and so does the custom music. The only time that the game won't let you drive in the circuits is you have to do Offensive Driving 101 before you do anything else. Other than doing lessons, there's also the new mode where you can crash your car and to grab much money as fast as possible. Overall, Burnout 2 will always be my favorite game. ;)

Burnout 2 was great, but Burnout 3 took the series to a whole new level.

That intro song giving me straight goosebumps wow. I put sooo many hours in this game as a kid just messing around lol. I see why now, this game is amazing. I can't believe this game out in 2002 🤯

This game was so ahead of its time. A true classic

I love everything about this game, the tracks, the car list, the soundtrack, my god I love this game's soundtrack so much. It's my favourite Burnout game out there.

Jesus the intro just hit me like crazy man

Such a gold game for 2002.

To think the original team before getting picked up by EA was actually on the verge of bankruptcy hard to believe when looking at how much Burnout 2 improved upon its predecessor. For once...thank god EA picked up this team...cause without them doing that I would not have Takedown or Revenge to play on a weekly basis

Just look at those graphics though they're amazing.. I always recalled burnouts having great graphics from memory but it's entirely true... Even back then on CRT tv's they looked magnificent :P

Heck, i played this when i was a kid and never noticed that driving in the wrong lane causes oncoming drivers to flash their lights to warn you

A student driver? It will going be crazy

I’ve had this game since it came out. The same case, cover, manual and disc and it still works. 😄

So this is where this song came from on burnout paradise.

Indicator lamps for a 2002 title from a bankrupt team is crazy.

nice one of my childhood game

I always loved that music would go rock and roll when you used nitrous :D

Many of this game's cars are added into Burnout Legends for PSP

There was always that one car in the back, that missed the starting point 😂😂😂

Just like Thrill Drive Series.

such a cool game :D

REally cool stuff yeah i played this a lot when i was little BURNOUT 2 :) :D pretty good game! i bet some people grew up not even playing this one but they played burnout 3 instead... have a good dayyyy

Infancia q tengo en ese juego

this game was so badass

OMG the intro is OP

I never play this before But look amazing before 3 takedown

I only ever played the demo as PS2 games were super expensive in Australia. I played the heck out of it, though. Looks like I may need to finally play the full game

It was my childhood, good old time !

You tell me that this is on ps2 ! Waw !

I loved the first 3 burnout games 💓💓💓 back when i was 10 11 and 12. Its hard to see that much time has passed knowing that great games like these will never be a thing again. Soo much memories enjoying them. now we have games like fortnite and its a pile of human feces..... Every game wants you to buy something or sell a bunch of skins, clothing etc. Not the same, play to earn it is my thing.
