Does anyone know if burnout is any good or is Burnout 2 considerably better? Also any advice on which is better between gamecube and PS2 versions would be good to hear. I noticed that the HMV sale has started online and they have PS2 burnout for £9.99.

Frankly both games are good fun, definately the most replayable 2 player racers ever in particular! (Perhaps Burnout 1 more than 2) Burnout 2 is much better than the original graphically and has some rather spectacular crashes but the original is just pure out and out fun! I`d say get both as you can pick up the original dirt cheap on most formats and Burnout2 you can get at a reasonable price on the PS2 nowadays (Damn I want an XBox version!!!)

Not sure, although it probably will.

Agree about the previous comments about Burnout 1 being better 2-player than the sequel. Not sure why, just seems to be alot better. Actually, this was one of the major disappointments with Burnout 2 I found. :(

I think HMV are also going to be doing Burnout PS2 at £9.99 in the sale - its already on the site. So I might pick it up after christmas. I`ve read the gamecube version has better graphics than the PS2 original that has been criticised for the way it looked. Does anyone know if this is worth worrying about or is it just splitting hairs?

It`s the same game underneath it all, the GC and XBox versions no doubt look smarter but then it depends on if ur willing to shell out that bit extra for a few cosmetic changes really!

Burnout 1 is damn good fun, I`ve got it on the PS2 and Xbox, same game, graphics are less grainy on the Xbox though which helps, especially in 2 player mode.

Burnout 2 is nice on the PS2, but for some reason, I still play Burnout 1 more, think it is because it is faster and just more fun.

Cheers for all the help everyone. I picked up Burnout on the Cube from game for £15 (19.99 - £5 voucher) and its a great little game. I just can`t believe how bloody fast it is! Just one question - is there any difference in the difficulty levels of the different cars?
