Criterion Games, an Electronic Arts studio known for their work on the Burnout series of racing titles, and more recently, the successful Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit reboot, has announced their newest Burnout project – Burnout Crash!
Burnout Crash! will launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network in Q4 2011.
Criterion Games claims to be going back to roots with Burnout Crash! by bringing the series’ Crash mode to the forefront, adding new top-down gameplay, and Autolog to let players connect, compete with, and challenge their friends.
In the game, players are rewarded for causing traffic chaos by crashing into cars, triggering explosions and destroying everything in sight.
“Burnout Crash! is a crazy mix of pinball and game shows,” said Richard Franke, Creative Director, Burnout Crash! “We’ve evolved the core gameplay which everyone loved about Crash Mode, and expanded the whole experience using music, style and Autolog to create what we feel is the most mindless fun you can have on any gaming platform.”
There are three explosive game modes available across 18 crash junctions in six unique locations, each requiring different skills and strategies to maximize damage and destroy everything in sight. There is a variety of player vehicles to unlock, high-value targets to seek and destroy, and crazy surprise features to discover.
Burnout Crash! is also EA’s first Xbox LIVE Arcade title to feature a game mode designed exclusively for Kinect, in which two teams use gestural controls to play on one television in a party battle.
