Over the past few years, Electronic Arts has become one of the most polarizing companies in entertainment. Their games are regularly on top of best seller lists, but their likability among gamers hovers around the same level as Jack Thompson. EA's latest offering, Burnout Crash!, comes over from the Xbox and PS3 and slams its way onto the iOS in a fittingly polarizing way. As such, I've structured this review in a way that will switch from one extreme to another.
The Burnout series is one that I've often wondered why it hasn't come to iOS yet. It seems like every other racing game on the App Store, from Asphalt 6 to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, tries to echo elements of what made that franchise so great. Even Burnout Legends, the PSP release from years back, proved that the series can be just as captivating on a mobile device. Now EA has confirmed that Burnout is coming to the App Store, but it's not quite as you might expect.
