Burnout Dominator
The main focus in car racing game Burnout Dominator is the return of Burnouts.
Burnouts are the result of draining a complete boost meter without stopping.
The boost meter in Burnout Dominator is primarily orange flames prior to a full boost meter, at which point in time the flames turn blue.
Driving dangerously while using supercharge boost will light up the arrows on the boost meter, and when they are all lit, one can obtain a Burnout once the current supercharge boost has drained.
The process can be continually repeated allowing the player to get a Burnout Chain. Prior to Burnout Dominator, Burnouts were last seen in Burnout 2: Point of Impact.
Features removed from the previous game, Burnout Revenge, include Traffic Checking, Traffic Attack Mode, Crash Mode (a puzzle-orientated mode, in which one's vehicle is driven into an intersection full of traffic with the aim to cause the largest amount of damage possible), and online multiplayer support.
Also, unlike all of the Criterion developed Burnout games, the PlayStation 2 version of Burnout Dominator does not support USB steering wheels such as the Logitech Driving Force or Logitech Driving Force Pro.
The main single player mode known as the World Tour is split into 7 different series, based on the different classes of car that are in the game.
- The series are
- Classic,
- Factory,
- Tuned,
- Hot Rod,
- Super,
- Race Specials
- Dominator.
The vehicle lineup is mostly new with some cars from previous two Burnout titles peppered into the game. The events and new challenges in the World Tour include:
- Race (standard racing for the finish line)
- Road Rage (timed event where the goal is to takedown as many opponent drivers as possible)
- Eliminator (similar to race, but the driver in last place every 30 seconds is eliminated from the race)
- Burning Lap (single lap time trial)
- Maniac Mode (This mode involves players driving as dangerously as they can to earn the highest scores possible by earning drifts, air, oncoming and near misses)
- Grand Prix (An event with three races on different tracks, the racer with the most points at the end of the Grand Prix wins)
- Drift Challenge (a challenge mode where the aim is to obtain as many feet as possible by drifting)
- Near Miss Challenge (same as Drift Challenge, but focusing on narrowly missing traffic to earn scores)
- Burnout Challenge (same as Drift Challenge, but focusing on obtaining Burnouts)
The other single player mode in Burnout Dominator is known as "Record Breaker", and this mode allows one to set high scores for Race, Road Rage, Time Attack and Maniac Mode, without being restricted to specific event/location/series combinations that exist in the World Tour mode.
Co-existing with the Record Breaker mode, the PlayStation Portable version of the game allows uploading of high scores via the Burnout HQ option, which can be viewed in the EA Nation section of the Burnout Dominator website.
Great old game :)
