The box might say Dangerous Driving but, make no mistake, this is a Burnout game in all but name. Specifically, it"s Burnout 3: Takedown, the point on the venerable PlayStation 2 where we reckon the series peaked. It"s not a complex recipe: just some cars, a track, big crashes and enough velocity to peel your eyeballs like an onion. Dangerous Driving, which is out now on PS4, Xbox One and PC, doesn"t botch the cocktail either. Like Burnout, the game"s handling strikes the perfect balance between grippy and slippy, giving you enough play to initiate enormous drifts and enough control to dart between vehicles at a split-second"s notice. You"ll need that responsiveness, because this is a game that rewards fighter pilot reflexes. The early Sedan class of cars are plenty quick enough, so by the time you"re behind the wheel of the definitely-not-a-LaFerrari you"ll be clinging on for grim death. You"re never far from a colossal accident either, not least because to stand any chance of winning, you"ll need to fill your boost bar by drifting, taking down other racers and driving into oncoming traffic like a confused pensioner.
