Electronic Arts today announced that Burnout™ Revenge is now available at North American retailers for the PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system and Xbox® video game system from Microsoft. The game is rated E10+ by the ESRB and carries an MSRP of $49.95.

The sequel to one of most acclaimed games of 2004, Burnout Revenge straps gamers into the fastest, most dangerous racer on the road. Built for unprecedented destruction, Burnout Revenge challenges gamers to exact their revenge on rush hour traffic, vindictive rival racers and anything else that gets between them and the finish line.

Burnout Revenge has already garnered critical praise, including a perfect score from Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine (5 of 5) and the second highest score ever from Official Xbox Magazine (9.8 of 10). The game was also awarded the Game Critics Award for Best Racing Game at E3 2005.

In addition to tricked out new race, crash and road rage modes, Burnout Revenge takes the series’ blistering speed and spectacular destruction to dizzying new heights with an all-new traffic attack mode, challenging gamers to battle the clock and unleash their frustrations on rush hour traffic.

Burnout Revenge was developed by Criterion Software Limited in Guildford, UK. The studio is also developing the explosive first-person shooter BLACKâ„¢, slated for release in February 2006 on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
