Crash 'n' Burn

Games are often boiled to down to “recipes” and in the case of Crash ‘n’ Burn you might think of it as one part racing game, two parts destruction/rebuilding, and at least a cup of mayhem (probably baked for 20 minutes at 325° F).

 

Here’s the official word on Crash ‘n’ Burn:

 

Personalize your car by painting and polishing it. Add new components like giant spoilers and reinforced fenders. Supercharge it by filling it up with nitrous. In the back streets of Miami, San Fran, LA and New York circuits are waiting for you. Fifteen cars ahead of you all polished up. Your primary Objective is to finish in first place.

Secondary objective: to cause carnage to your opponents’ cars by smashing them into walls and tearing their cars apart and then leave them to burn. Who wins? The last driver to survive on four wheels is the winner. After one hell of a massacre, do it again ...Online

 

Features:

Customize and personalize a garage full of cars with everything from paint schemes, to rims & spoilers, to nitrous and more.

speeds while driving through the back streets of Miami, San Francisco, LA and New York.

 

Compete with 16 players online in a multiplayer game filled with destruction and featuring a variety of modes such as last man-standing, bomb tag and more

 

With multi-angle player-controlled cameras set up throughout the courses, players can replay the mayhem.

Face it; in chaotic racing games, driving like a crazed moron has always been a lot of fun and so has smashing into things, but the absolutely best thing is tearing apart your opponents. Well in Crash ‘n Burn you can do all of that. It’s not like we haven’t seen such things in chaotic racing games before but being able to customize and add components like reinforced fenders or using nitrous or even the little things like rims and spoilers is what really makes crash n’ Burn shine. Being able to customize your car’s appearance in every way is also a nice touch.

 

Get ready for total mayhem in mid October.
