Danger Zone Reviews
Danger Zone is a good game if you can appreciate its simplicity. The sparse setting and presentation aside, the puzzle element is a fantastic spin for the game, and it's hard to deny the satisfaction of crashing into tons of vehicles. It also helps that the game's addictive nature and leaderboard presence can inspire multiple runs even after everything is unlocked. For fans of a title that's easy to pick up and quick to play, Danger Zone is worth checking out.
Overall, Danger Zone is a fun arcade-style release that will keep you coming back for more as you try to find the best strategy for causing as much damage as possible for each run in each of the game's simulations.
Whilst it may not encapsulate the wonder of Burnout's Crash mode, it's still quite fun, and will give you something to do for a few hours.
Danger Zone is a deeply shallow game that feels cheaply made. It doesn't even run smoothly, which is really unfortunate since the visuals look very simplistic and stock and shouldn't tax the Xbox One at all. Load times that last as long as a play cycle, and the sensory deprivation from the complete lack of music, give the impression that this is a work-in-progress - a very poor presentation for a very poor game.
While Danger Zone provides some thrills and serves as an interesting revival of one of Burnout's beloved game modes, it's often too slow and lifeless to give fans the fix they were hoping for.
Danger Zone tries to amuse us with its destruction simulator. However, it achieves the opposite due to its lack of scenarios being these repetitive and without great detail. Its gameplay is simple and with just a few minutes we will drive the vehicle as experts. It won't take us long to complete the scarce content of this title.

Good fun crashing simulator that will keep you coming back to improve your score, but not because of the depth of what's available. Here's hoping this is a prerequisite to a fully fledged game from the Three Fields team.
…the last two Test Phases were vastly more enjoyable than the first two Test Phases
The Danger Zone at its core is an interesting concept though the entire thing is rather simple.
With more content, a slew of gameplay enhancements and noticeably improved visuals, Xbox One owners may have had to wait for Danger Zone, but it's definitely been worth it.
Danger Zone had the expectations of being a spiritual successor to Burnout, encompassing everything that was good about it. That gameplay is there, somewhere, but it gets lost between the generic level design, and over-reliance of pickups.
Wonderful retro-entertainment with this re-imagining of Burnout's crash mode. Play with the laws of physics in your car and get that high score.
It takes a little while to reach its best, but Danger Zone takes the classic Crash Mode from the Burnout series, distils it and then finds ways to push it to new, even more ridiculous heights. Crash Mode is back, and despite a few flaws, it ends up being as morbidly compelling as ever.
Players may feel like a change of pace, and driving headlong into traffic is always fun in video game land, but quite how the developers managed to make something like this so lacking in excitement is quite beyond me.
There’s the core of a great game here, and it’s still fun to smash a car into oncoming traffic and watch the ensuing chaos. But the game is focused on the wrong things, specifically its Smashbreaker and aftertouch mechanics, instead of just dumping you into a simulation of a motorway and told to go nuts. There’s still fun to be had in Danger Zone, but it’s unfortunately held back by this misplaced focus.
The mechanics are solid and it is fun to play but its all set in a cold empty space with many a loading screen.
Destroying cars and causing mayhem is inarguably fun, and Danger Zone capitalises fully on this. It's simple, but the kind of game you could lose an evening to.
Danger Zone takes a mode that's been around for 15 years and manages to make a somewhat enjoyable game out of it.
Short, not very beautiful and with a lot of room to improve, but still funny while we wait for a new Burnout game.

Although Danger Zone is a smaller sized game, it can still offer entertainment for several hours. You can see that the developers have a lot of experience in the result. But it's a pity that they didn't create a game that offers something more.
