Hi All,

This is Dan McDonald, Producer at Criterion Games. By now you should have heard about the new game from our studio, Burnout CRASH! and I am sure some of you are scratching your heads a little wondering what we have been up to… well let me tell you… Burnout CRASH! is a spin off from our much loved Burnout series but this time focusing solely on the Crash Mode gameplay which you may remember from previous Burnout games.

A lot of games take themselves too seriously, sometimes all you really need is to just kick back, relax and blow stuff up. With that in mind we designed Burnout CRASH! with a tongue in cheek style, harking back to the arcades we all used to hang around in. Our inspirations were manic Pinball gameplay, over the top Game Show style presentation, all tied up with our favourite music tracks from yesterday.
