[edit] Events
Events in Burnout Revenge retain many of the ones seen in Burnout 3, including Race, Road Rage and Burning Lap. New events include Traffic Attack and Crashbreaker modes.
[edit] Takedowns
- Revenge Takedowns - If a rival takes you down, they're marked in red for revenge. This is the rival to target if you want to boost your Rating quickly.
- Aftertouch Takedowns - Steering your car into an oncoming rival after you have crashed earns you an Aftertouch Takedown.
- Signature Takedowns - Certain location-based Takedowns are prized in a ruthless burner's world. Your Takedown Book keeps a photo record of these glorious moments.
- Vertical Takedowns - New to Revenge, taking down a rival from above earns you a Vertical Takedown.
- Traffic Check Takedowns - Also new, shunting traffic into your rivals earns you a Traffic Check Takedown.
- The final new Takedown, in special Crashbreaker events players can use their Boost fuel to detonate their cars should they crash.

[edit] Boost
Shunting, slamming, and grinding your rivals steals their boost and adds it to your Boost meter. They can also do the same to you. As in Burnout 3, you can add a chunk to your boost bar by taking down a rival, but you can lose a chunk if you crash or are taken down by a rival. Traditional methods, such as Drifting, Near Misses, Air and Oncoming are also included methods.
[edit] Vehicles
Rather than having generic names (such as Compact Type 1), vehicles in Burnout Revenge are named like factory models (such as Factory M-Type), and are now ordered by their top speed rather than class.
[edit] Locations
Tracks in Revenge are now designed mostly for Takedowns, but also include many alternate routes and, for the first time, true shortcuts.
[edit] Soundtrack
Like most Burnout titles, Burnout Revenge utilizes EA Trax Licensed music. 20 of the 40 tracks in Burnout Revenge were also included in Burnout Legends.

[edit] Notes
- Burnout Revenge was released alongside Burnout Legends for PSP. This can be seen in the fact that both games share very similar logos.
- The logo for Burnout Revenge can actually vary slightly. The default logo, seen in the box art above, is plain and simple. This is also the logo used for European versions of the game on PS2 and XBOX. For the US version, a subtle sheen of sorts is applied. Early renditions of the 360 box art alters the logo even further, by crystallizing the logo, which resembles the logo for Burnout Dominator. All three variations can be compared in the image to the right.
