Burnout
_Burnout_ is an arcade style racing game in the mold of the Test Drive or
Need For Speed series. In this game, you are racing on realistic streets with
real traffic to contend with.
There are 6 courses on which to race, 3 of which are reminiscent of Europe,
and 3 from the USA. There are several vehicles to choose from, ranging from
compact cars to pickups. However, they are not based on real makes and models.
One notable feature of Burnout is the “Burn Meter.” The Burn Meter is a gauge
that is filled by performing reckless stunts, like racing into oncoming
traffic, or power-drifting through corners. Once the Burn Meter is filled,
your car gets a super speed boost. If you crash, however the Burn Meter is
reset and must be filled again to achieve boost.
