Danger Zone 2

This game is almost perfect. It's fun, challenging, hilarious, explosive, and extremely cathartic. It's like playing interactive Russian dashcam videos. The object is simple: send your vehicle careening towards an intersection, wrecking as many cars as you can on the way, and cause a huge accident at the designated intersection. Your score is the insurance payouts for your 30 car pileup. It's extremely easy to pick up and have fun but hard to perfect your carnage and wreck every car you see. If this sounds very familiar, you must be a Burnout fan. They took the best part of Burnout 3 (the crash junctions) and mixed it with the best part of Burnout Revenge (traffic attacks) to make the ultimate Burnout game. Except it's not called Burnout, it's called Danger Zone 2. Why? I don't know, probably the developers moved to a different company and EA still owns the Burnout brand. But whatever, the name isn't what made the Burnout games great, as we learned with Burnout Paradise. The Crash Junctions made the Burnout games great and the important thing is, they're back and you don't even have to rank in boring old races and burning laps to unlock new ones. This game is ALL Crash Junctions which makes it a dream come true for me; something I've wanted to see since 2004. The only complaint I have is with the sound. There's an issue with the direction the sound is coming from. Often I'll pan over to try and see some crashing I hear but don't see anything happening. There's also no actual sound settings. No dial for the sound effects or anything. This is a pain because if you're streaming to your friends on discord (and they will ask you to stream it), it's hard to have a discussion with them because the game is so damn loud and you can't do anything about it. I'd also like to see a replay function to rewatch our crashes from wider angles than just the car view. There's also no music but I'm hoping they fix that for the next game in the series and make Danger Zone Blues Brothers edition, with music, locations, and vehicles from the Blues Brothers Movie. I know it came out like 40 years ago but I can't think of any licence more fitting to this gameplay and that's pretty much the music I've been listening to while I play. Other great songs for making your own soundtrack: Radar Love, Ace of Spades, Bad Dog No Biscuits, Titanic Vandalism, Ultra (KMFDM), Comfort Eagle, Little B!+@# (Specials), Joker and the Thief, Moaning (Mingus), Night of the Living Baseheads, Polka Your Eyes Out, Ratamahatta, Bottle of Smoke, Seven Thirty Seven/Shoe Glue, Clash (Caravan Palace), Police on my Back (Clash), Giant Hogweed, Shoot to Thrill, and, well, this list could go on and on but you get the idea.
