New and exclusive content for Xbox™ version:
* Increased polygon count on ALL player cars – utilizing the extra graphical power available on the Xbox – vehicles have more than twice the detail than in the PS2 version.
* Custom soundtracks option – this allows you to create your own Burnout 2 soundtrack, choosing the specially composed original music for Burnout 2 – or any of your own music you’ve stored on the Xbox hard disk.
* 15 additional Crash mode junctions – the world’s favourite Burnout mode just got bigger. The ‘Crash for Cash’ mode is now bigger and better, with 15 brand new dangerous Crash junctions.
* Extra decal sets available for all Custom Series cars – Four additional custom decal sets are selectable for all CS vehicles e.g. ‘Red Dragon’ and ‘Union Jack’ decal sets only available in Xbox version.
* A wealth of gameplay tweaks and visual enhancements.
* 60 frames per second in single and 2 player modes ( Xbox only ).
* Real-time cubic environment mapping – all vehicles reflect the game world making the vehicles look much more realistic.
* For the Custom Series vehicles (so there are some Xbox exclusive cars in there), and we have statistics-only support for Xbox LIVE. Also, we've included a custom soundtrack option so Xbox owners can race to their own choice of music, plus the 'boost increase' still works even with your own music playing. Plus we have the 16:9 widescreen mode, 50/60hz options (for PAL gamers), and progressive scan (480p) for NTSC HDTV.
