I’ll Show You… Burnout (GameCube, 2002)

Welcome to another episode of I’ll Show You Mine! This week James is showing Elyse ‘Burnout’ from 2002. Developed by Criterion Games and published by Acclaim Entertainment, Burnout is the first entry of a racing franchise that has become known for its spectacular crashes and high-risk mechanics. Though the game was initially released for PlayStation 2 in late 2001, the GameCube version (the one we played) came out a few months later in 2002.

Join us as we continue the Summer of Speed (tmtmtm) with the most difficult game in the Burnout franchise, talk about what exactly makes this game tough and frustrating, and ultimately decide if the fun moments outweigh the frustration.

Our next episode will be August 6th, when Elyse shows James ‘Rock-a-Doodle’ from 1991.

Our theme song is by us! James Sparkman and Elyse Wietstock.
