Burnout monitors your driver’s heart rate, you’re rewarded for near-misses and the more risks you take. Civilians steer clear! Features Only one way to drive Burnout: DANGEROUSLY. Force traffic into your opponent’s path and risk a head-on collision to secure a win! Realtime 5.1 channel Dolby Digital audio - to bring the game alive! Hear the roar of the traffic and the crunching-metal of the crashes surround you! The power of the Xbox converts the sound and music data on the fly. True 5.1 audio - most Xbox titles don’t use the center speaker of a 5.1 setup properly, Burnout does! HDTV and Progressive Scan support for users with high-definition display or digital TV. Burnout is crisp and interlace-free when displayed on a High-Definition TV, running up to 1080i or 720p! Bump mapping on all of the road surfaces and ‘Phong’ specular lighting. Bump mapping is a great Xbox-specific effect, this makes the road surface look more bumpy and detailed - just like in real life. Per pixel specular lighting - Another great Xbox effect, this means that light falls on the road in a more realistic fashion. Drive into the sun and see the glare coming off the road! True volumetric shadows on the environment and other vehicles. This means that the shadows in the game "fall" realistically on the environment and other vehicles as you drive past them - this makes the game more realistic-looking. Realtime cubic environment mapping. The body of the car realistically reflects the environment in which it is driving - again this makes the game more realistic looking. Improved deformation model making the crashes and damage look more realistic and exciting. True "Phong" per pixel lighting: The power of the Xbox allows a more accurate representation of the interaction of light and surfaces. Use of the in-built hard disk. This has allowed us to further speed up game loading times for the fastest Burnout load on any system. High resolution. Burnout runs at 640×480 resolution for incredibly sharp and detailed graphics. Anti-aliasing resulting in a more stable and sharp display with absolutely no shimmering or flickering.
