Super cool game with crashing, racing, and police chases
Burnout 2: Point of Impact is a really cool game where it's all about crashing, racing, and escaping from the police trying to catch you.
Crashing: I usually do this with friends who come over because then you really have double the fun. What I love about crashing is that you have to turbo full speed into another car and cause as much damage as possible. Especially the slow-motion effect and the music really fit well with it.
Racing: You can really tear through traffic at high speed, but you're constantly thinking: Will I make it through this or am I about to be overtaken? And when I crash, I usually make sure to block the whole road so that all the enemies chasing you crash into it too.
Police: Chase after increasingly faster crooks to unlock really cool cars because I already have all those cars and I just think they're awesome. You can also just play with two people, with one being the police and the other being the crook.
If you really love racing and excitement, you should definitely buy this game.
