BoostEdit
Shunting, slamming and grinding rivals steals their boost and adds it to the player's own Boost meter. Rivals can also do the same to the player. Players can earn an extra chunk to their boost bar by taking down a rival but they can just as easily lose a chunk if they crash or are taken down by a rival.
VehiclesEdit
Rather than having generic names such as Compact Type 1, vehicles in Burnout Revenge are named similar to factory models such as Factory M-Type and are now ordered by their top speed rather than class.

LocationsEdit
Tracks in Revenge are designed mostly for aggressive vehicle combat but also include many alternate routes.

NotesEdit
- Burnout Revenge was released alongside Burnout Legend's release onto the Sony PlayStation Portable. Both games share very similar logos.
- The logo for Burnout Revenge varies slightly. The default logo is plain and simple. This is also the logo used for European releases of the game on PS2 and Xbox. The North America release features a subtle sheen to the logo as well as the additional slogan - "Battle Racing Ignited." The Xbox 360 box art features a crystallized logo similar to the logo seen for Burnout Dominator.
- The online servers for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox releases of Burnout Revenge were shut down on November 1st, 2007.
- The online servers for the Xbox 360 release of Burnout Revenge were shut down on April 13th, 2012, about 2 exact years since the same happening for Burnout 3 for Xbox and PS2 release. However it was switched back on 3 weeks later.
