Dangerous Driving Reviews
Dangerous Driving feels just like Burnout, but it doesn't look or sound the part.
Dangerous Driving definitely has the spirit of Burnout, but it doesn’t exactly execute it in the way you’d want.
Dangerous Driving is a fun-filled, reckless racing game that should satiate fans that hunger for more of racing classics like the Burnout series. There's also a home here for non-racing game players as well since being reckless in Dangerous Driving is not held against you! Being dangerous behind a wheel has never been so much fun!
Dangerous Driving is an interactive cinematic-thrill-seeker experience, take down other opponents to win!
It's not necessarily a bad thing that developers are trying to follow the formulas that worked several years ago, but executing those formulas is where things get tricky and ruin a huge potential. Dangerous Driving can be considered a direct competition for Burnout Paradise, a title that released in the 7th generation and still beats DD everyday! There is no point in paying 30 dollars for Dangerous Driving, especially now that we have the remastered version of Burnout Paradise for only 20 dollars.

Dangerous Driving doesn't reach the quality of Burnout classics because of its lack of polish, however, it creates an excellent foundation for this series to become the successor the classic series deserves.

And really, when the crashes look like simple physics experiments from the late-90s that can trigger from the slightest of scrapes – it was destined to fall short of hitting its lofty Burnout spiritual successor goal.
Dangerous Driving feels like the little engine that could. When it works, it is a fantastic experience. It felt like Burnout never left. The lack of music and compromised original consoles though really drags it down a notch. I wanted to love this game a lot more than I did, but as it stands it is an incredible throwback to the glory days of Burnout racing.
While Dangerous Driving desperately wants to declare itself Burnout’s successor, it’s simply too hollow to ever truly earn that title. It’s buggy, repetitive and lacks all the depth that made Criterion Software’s acclaimed franchise such a phenomenal hit. There are the fundamentals for an explosively fun driving game within this barebones arcade racer, but ultimately Dangerous Driving is more a knock-off Burnout clone than a worthy spiritual reboot.
Dangerous Driving hits the perfect melody at certain points when focusing on what the team set out for it to do: be a spiritual successor to Burnout. At its peak, it feels like a Burnout game.
Dangerous Driving is like mini bikes experienced by the oldest of us. It's not super pretty, it's very simple and we still have nice moments with it. By cons, you don't want that friends see you with it. We can forgive his wanderings when we know that it is developed "in a garage" with very limited funds. But in this case, he must not claim such prestigious legacies as Burnout, for which we are still waiting for a successor to the excellent "Paradise" episode.

Dangerous Driving does a nice job to truly give that franchise a spiritual successor, and a game for all of the Burnout fans out there to enjoy.
Dangerous Driving is just alright, it feels aged and it really wasn't anything too exciting to play.
Dangerous Driving aims to be a clone of a classic yet sorely outdated driving franchise, and it succeeds in that mission to an extent. PS2-era design methodology is present throughout, and adrenaline thrills take centre stage over fluid design, creativity or accessibility.
From much of the creative talent behind the revered Burnout series, does Dangerous Driving rekindle its rambunctious racing?
Dangerous Driving is, at best, a rough early prototype of a proper Burnout successor. The basic mechanics and sense of speed are there, but they're badly undermined by bland track design, infuriating AI, a lack of features, and a host of other issues. Those feeling nostalgic for Burnout would be best served taking the classics out for another spin, rather than taking a chance on this lemon.
I had an incredibly fun time smashing other cars in Dangerous Driving, and I feel that you should experience it too! This is definitely a game I would recommend to anyone looking to play something different in the racing game world. If you’re sick and tired of boring realistic racing games, go ahead and try this out!
Dangerous Driving taps into fans' nostalgia for the Burnout series, but fails to maximise that potential.
Though it's abundant in hyper-realistic visuals, that isn't enough to disguise its lack of polish in almost every other way.
Dangerous Driving isn’t the Burnout game that many of us have been waiting for sadly.
