new car skins, 15 more "crash" mode tracks, which totals up to 30 "crash" mode tracks in all and an Xbox Live online leaderboard, which was also the first use of Xbox Live in a Burnout game. The GameCube version of the game also includes the 15 additional crash mode tracks. The GameCube and PlayStation 2 versions include all the custom cars from the Xbox version, but they do not have customisable liveries, online functions, or custom soundtrack capabilities. Promotion To promote the game, Acclaim offered to reimburse any driver in the United Kingdom who received a speeding ticket. Following a negative reaction to this from the UK government, the plan was cancelled. Reception Burnout 2: Point of Impact received "favourable" reviews on all platforms according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. GameSpot noted of the PS2 version: "The inclusion of the well-done championship and multiplayer modes make it a must-own for fans of arcade racing". The publication also named it the best Xbox game of April 2003. GameSpy stated of the PS2 version, that "if Gran Turismo 3 is Dom Perignon, Burnout 2 is Jack Daniels. While Dom may be a great guy, personally I'd rather hang out with Jack". IGN called the same version "an excellent sequel in every way. It's better looking, longer, faster, deeper, and it's got little flourishes and extra modes of play that truly impress". Eurogamer's Kristan Reed said the game was worth playing whether or not you liked the first game in the series. Reed thought the multiplayer mode was a little disappointing, with a lower frame rate than other parts of the game but was otherwise highly complimentary, stating: Edge magazine ranked the game 75th on their 100 Best Video Games in 2007.
