Official fact sheet

Prepare to enter the nitrous-fuelled world of Crash ‘n’ BurnTM. Crash ‘n’ Burn is a brutal arcade-style driving game where the aim is not just to win races, but to survive them!

Choose your car, paint it and personalise it. Build it up with new components, giant spoilers and reinforced fenders. Supercharge it, fill it with nitrous and take it to the back street circuits of Miami, San Francisco, L.A. and New York. You’re at the back of the pack, grid position sixteen with fifteen cars ahead of you. Your primary objective is to take first place; your secondary objective is to run everyone else off the road. Crunch them into the barrier, rip, shred and tear sheet metal from their frames, leaving burning engine blocks and melted tires in your wake. The last driver with four wheels wins. Then do it again… online.

Crash ‘n’ Burn is the first ever driving game to provide online support for up to 16 players. From Race, to Kamikaze, through to Bomb Tag and Last Man Standing, the game has a wealth of game modes. Dodge on-track wreckage, fire trails and oil slicks as you destroy anyone who gets in your way of being crowned “Lord of the Mash-up”.
