7.5/10

All in all, Dangerous Driving is a marked improvement in basically every facet over Danger Zone 1 and 2. This is Three Fields firing on all cylinders and giving Burnout fans the experience they’ve been craving. While a few technical hiccups stop this from achieving greatness, you really shouldn’t sleep on this if you’re a fan of arcade racers. Dangerous Driving is the real deal and any Burnout fan would be crazy to skip it.

Dangerous Driving's scope may have been a bit too big to be made by such a small team in a short amount of time, leading to a racing game that does feel janky and unpolished in some areas. On the other hand, the variety of modes, car unlocking system, and Spotify integration are all interesting and ambitious ideas in a genre often thought to be fairly stagnant. In a world without any new Burnout games, I'd love to see the creators of that series continue to iterate on this formula and cater to those of us who prefer thrills to realism in our racing games.

Dangerous Driving is a closed track competitive racing game featuring boosts, takedowns, destruction and the biggest car crashes seen in a racing game to date.

Dangerous Driving delivers a tight, streamlined racing experience, but that comes at the cost of features that players have come to expect.

6.5/10

Dangerous Driving marks Three Fields Entertainment's first attempt at making a fully-fledged spiritual successor to Burnout. Its thrilling speeds and exciting action scratch the itch, but the tight budget, myriad of technical issues, and barebones content hold it back from being truly special.

What happens when you take the creative leads from the beloved but near-forgotten Burnout series, team them up with a tiny handful of talented developers, and give them about a 100th of the budget of any typical modern racing game?

Do you have the need for arcade racing speed? Three Fields Entertainment, a studio founded entirely by former Criterion Studios employees, hopes that their fourth release, Dangerous Driving, can help satiate your need to drive recklessly. Can the arcade racing genre be refreshed with this smaller-scale release?

The Burnout formula is a simple one – crazy speed, big crashes, and, well, that’s really it. You’d think such a straightforward, yet well-loved series would be easy to keep running, but EA seems to have no interest in doing more Burnout games and, surprisingly, few have stepped up to fill that arcade racing niche. Enter Three Fields Entertainment, a small British indie studio started by Criterion Games founders Alex Ward and Fiona Sperry. In 2017 Three Fields attempted to revive Burnout’s well-loved Crash Mode with Danger Zone, in 2018 they followed up with Danger Zone 2, and now we have Dange...

Though Dangerous Driving attempts to tap into Burnout’s lineage, its numerous bugs and lack of polish fail to capture the spirit of its inspiration.

It also doesn’t help that the tracks themselves lack any sort of personality or distinctive visual landmarks, so you never really even have a good sense of how far along in a lap you are. While on that subject, the previously mentioned persistent wrecks, while a neat idea, causes an issue here. Since the entire appeal of this game is to turn the other cars into a burning wreck, that means you’ll basically turn the track into a minefield of wrecked vehicles. And since races go on for so long, along with a complete lack of a mini-map, there’s no way for you to make a mental note of where these w...
