The sad thing is that EA will charge $15 for this iPhone game.

Is it just me, or is this just a rather sad attempt to make one last cash grab on a once-great series?

Well, I mean, it IS EA, after all.

It's nigh-inconceivable that they'd milk an acquired property until it's a dessicated husk, and then toss it away like so much refuse.

That's just so out of character for them.

@Wulf or perhaps it's just a fun side project in between games of a still-great series. I realize that's less whiny and dramatic but it's probably more accurate. Save your money for the next "real" Burnout game if you want. You'll get it (and then probably complain that it's too similar to the last one).

@Wulf - A once-great series?

I wasn't aware that it stopped being great.

@Mcmax3000

B:P was incredible, and as far as I know that was the last Burnout game to be released...

@liquidsoap89 - It's the last game with Burnout in the title. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit might as well have been a Burnout title.

How about "Burnout: Oy Vey" - Sorry but what is the point of all of these great games going the 2D arcade route? If I was playing this on my iPhone I'd be impressed not only because it might be fun, but because I currently don't have an iPhone. But playing this on PSN or XBLA? Doesn't look like it would hold my interest very long.

Did anyone else notice the cursor on the screen at 37 seconds (scene with "Pick up and go" written on the road).

I always thought the fun of the burnout crash mode was that you could see what it would look like to crash a real looking car. The debris and glass flying everywhere. This just seem kinda boring.

So for someone who doesn't like babies, you're basically saying this is the perfect game, joystiq?

I kept waiting for the camera perspective to change and reveal a real burnout game.

This looks pretty much like a remake of a flash game. This one, specifically: http://www.kongregate.com/games/kizigames/roadkill-revenge

@Truant - They made Burnout 4. It was called Burnout: Revenge. You should try it. The Xbox 360 version especially was pretty good.

This really doesn't look that great. I dunno, I'm all for crash mode, but this looks like crash mode lite. But then again, maybe that's what they were aiming for... a game for toddlers and an E rating.

I just hope that the game is better than reading this article, which did make me chuckle a great deal. Thanks Justin!

Looks pretty good. But I couldn't shake the feeling that it was something somebody made in Little Big Planet 2.

@F1shBone - Why wouldn't a trailer for an Xbox Live Arcade/Playstation Network title be covered on Joystiq?

The writing on this article made me laugh. Great job. The game looks pretty meh to me though. Wish they would make a real Burnout again. The last one was fantastic.
