Exploding onto the scene back on the PS2 in 2001, the Burnout series started fairly underground before really picking up speed when EA picked it up. Oh, uhhh….spoilers?
What originally set, and kept Burnout apart from their competition throughout the entire run of the series was how they turned the goals of a racer on its head, asking players to take big risks by driving against traffic, ramming their opponents off the road and a general disregard for safety, all wrapped together with what were at the time very technically impressive car crumpling slow-mo shots that just fulfill some primal thrill. The original title had some rather humble origins for what it would become though, as an under the radar gem published by Aklaim.
So, what the hell happened to Burnout?
