Burnout 2 confirmed for Xbox and GameCube
Super-enhanced smash ‘em up racer goes multi-format.
Acclaim has announced that it has commissioned Criterion to port the brilliant Burnout 2 to both Xbox and GameCube platforms, bringing joy to the platforms’ somewhat beleaguered driving genre fanbases.
"When we started out on the development for Burnout 2 we focused on bringing the fastest and most exciting racing experience to the PlayStation 2, and we had no plans to develop the game for other consoles," commented Alex Ward, Creative Manager, Criterion Games. "We are a small but extremely talented team who has dedicated their time and energy on getting the absolute best out of the PlayStation 2. Since the release of the game last October, we've been really bowled over by the number of awards and fantastic reviews that Burnout 2 has received across the world. We have also been absolutely deluged with requests from the media and consumers alike to develop versions for Xbox and GameCube. It has been an incredible response.”
“So, we're really excited to be able to confirm to Xbox and GameCube gamers, that they can look forward to Burnout 2 on their consoles this Spring. We'll be putting all the resources and dedication of the Burnout Team to make these the best driving games available for these consoles."
All that remains now is for Acclaim to concoct some unsavoury marketing campaign to accompany the release. We can hardly wait.
