Burnout 2: Point of Impact - New Xbox Features!

Xbox News | Three words that jump to mind when I see Burnout 2: "Dodgy marketing techniques". Three more: "Lovely Xbox Extras". Details of the latter within...

It's so easy to metaphors that degenerate to the point of becoming tired old clichés in an article about a driving game. Thankfully, here on PALGN we avoid tired old clichés like the plague. So I won't be telling you that Burnout 2 is set to take pole position on the starting grid of Xbox driving games or that it's got 'foot-to-the-floor' action. I'm just gonna inform you as to what lurks under the bonnet of the new souped-up Xbox port without any tired old car metaphors. Got that?
