Walkthrough for: Burnout Revenge
Game: Burnout Revenge	Format: Xbox 360	Ratings Not so good
Posted by: Hannard
BURNOUT: Revenge 360 Guide Burnout Revenge on the 360 is very similar to Burnout Revenge on other consoles. It is, however, dissimilar to other racing games in that it's as much about carnage as it is racing. There are several types of events to participate in, and the game will likely take you a good week or two to complete. BASICS: The key to being first is to pretty much use your boost all the time. Boost is earned by driving through oncoming traffic without hitting them, smashing into your opponents, or leaping over ramps. Hitting the boost button will result in you zooming along the track at crazy speeds. Crashing isn't actually as much of a problem as you might think when you're boosting. Mainly because the game's actually fairly forgiving in that respect - as long as you don't hit a wall head on you're usually just pushed off it. But be sure to watch out for obstacles in your way - while you can knock small cars and vans out of the way from behind, hitting a bus or truck will result in a crash. As will hitting any vehicle head-on. And crashes can cost you precious seconds. CRASHING: If you want to get your opponents to crash, there are several ways of going about it. The two simplest ways, however, are to force them against a wall for a few seconds, or to ram traffic so that it flies over you and into them. If you yourself manage to crash, be sure to use the 'Crash Aftertouch' feature by pressing A and moving the joystick. This lets you move your car as it's being wrecked - if you steer it into an opposing car you'll get a crash bonus, also known as a 'Takedown' which will earn you enough boost to let you get some of your lead back. Plus it'll help stop them overtaking you. Some later levels let you hit the 'B' button to blow your car up after you've crashed, but if you fail to blow up an enemy vehicle in the explosion, you lose all the boost you had. COURSES: There are about six different courses, all of which are repeated as you progress through the game. There are shortcuts and ramps to be found on each. Racing round the tracks a few times will certainly help you learn the lay of the land. But you don't need a perfect memory to know where the shortcuts are - they're handily marked by glowing blue lights. These shortcuts are generally faster than the main race route, but they can be more dangerous, with pillars that you can crash into if you're not careful. Some of the computer opponents will also use shortcuts so taking one isn't a guaranteed way of getting ahead of the pack. UNLOCKABLES/ACHIEVEMENTS/MEDALS At the end of each race/event you'll be given a rating and a medal. To get a high rating - a four star rating - you need to do cool things during the race such as using your boost for a long time, smashing up lots of other vehicles or various other things. You'll also receive a bronze, silver or gold medal - before the race you're told what you need to do to get a particular medal. If you get a four star rating and a gold medal, you'll be given an extra star and a 'perfect' rating. Conversely, get a bronze medal and one of your stars will be taken away from you. The more stars you get, the faster your rank progresses and the more races will made be available to you. Also, you'll also be given access to faster and better cars, which will give you a better chance of getting faster times when you replay earlier races. As far as actually official X-Box 360 achievements go, the game is a little stingy. You can browse the achievements in your dashboard, but to get any decent points you need to finish each set of races with a 'Perfect' rating on each, or get 250 takedowns. Also, half of the achivements can only be accomplished online. RACE TYPES: There are several race/event types you'll encounter. These are: Crash Junctions: These require you to cause as much damage as possible by crashing your car into another vehicle. The resultant crash then causes other cars to crash and so on. These start off fairly simply, but later on in the game you'll find there are junctions where you can only get maximum points by spreading the crash across two levels. The way to do this is to position your car so it crashes into another one, then as your own car is spinning, use crash aftertouch (the A and the joypad) to roll it into the next lane or over a bridge into the traffic. Do enough damage and your car will explode and you can then use crash aftertouch again to roll the wreck into any cars that might have escaped. Road Rage: This event has you taking down as many enemy cars as you can to score points. Don't bother using much boost in this race, since enemy cars - marked by an arrow - appear all over the race-track. But be aware the clock is always ticking and you won't get extra time till you've taken down two or three cars. Race/Elimination: There are two race variants - both require you to be at the front of the pack to score the most points. The twist with elimination is that instead of having to complete a certain number of laps, the last racer is eliminated every thirty seconds or so. Hence you can only win gold by being at the front with racer number two is eliminated. In both cases, use boost and shortcuts like there's no tomorrow. Burning Lap: This is a simple time trial race. Beat the top score to a gold, the second score to get a silver and, well, you get the picture. Again, boost and short-cuts are the order of the day. If you crash even once you'll lose precious time so if you're going for the gold, you might as well start the race again. Traffic Attack: This event involves slamming into any traffic driving along your side of the road, with the exception of trucks and buses. Don't boost unless there's no traffic in sight as it's easier to ram the vehicles when you're moving more slowly. Be careful not to stray into the oncoming lane as any oncoming vehicles will total you. CHOOSING A CAR: As the game progresses you'll have access to faster vehicles for racing and bigger vehicles for crashing. As you might expect, it's best to choose the fastest car you can when you're involved in a race. When you're tackling a crash junction event, however, it's not so easy to choose. Scope out the track first, and if it's got ramps, take a medium-weight car, as heavy vehicles won't make it far over a ramp. If, on the other hand, there aren't any ramps, you're best off sticking with a big heavy vehicle like the Burger Van. FINALLY: Don't forget about the game's online mode - if you think single player's fun, just wait till you're annihilating people on X-Box Live.
