ESRB: Burnout Crash has cartoon violence and LOBSTERS! photo

The Entertainment Software Rating Board has published its summary of Burnout Crash, detailing the levels of "cartoon violence" that the game provides. The hottest part of this story? Lobster attacks!

"This is an action game in which players earn points for creating traffic pileups," writes the ESRB. "From a top-down perspective, players initiate crashes by driving 'cartoony' vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, vans, buses) into busy intersections; multiple crashes trigger score multipliers and rack up large 'bills' of property damage.

"Each level is accompanied by crashing sounds, small explosions, and vocal encouragement (e.g., 'Cool,' 'Maximum Carnage!'). In some levels, players are instructed to crash into police cars (e.g., 'Crash them before they bust you!'); in other sequences, oversized airplanes, tornados, lobster monsters, and UFOs slide across the screen, destroying any vehicles in their path."

Lobsters monsters? What!? YES!! As you may have gathered from some of the more random header images on this site, I love lobsters. They are the best animal in the sea, and now they're claiming the road. I think that's just made Burnout Crash a serious game of the year contender!

Not sure I like the idea of a "Top-down perspective" but everything else sounds awesome.

hmm is this going to be a downloadable game? by the "cartoony" grfx and top down view. im inclined to think so.

and calling it "crash" leads me to believe this will be the focus of the game. leading again to think its a downloadable. what does everyone else think?

Burnout is by far my one and only vehicle simulation game. F**K GT5 and the rest. Strange that they're going cartoony this time around after so many serious and detailed experiences from the rest of the series. Oh well, seems like a decent sounding spin-off at best.

Very worried about top down view. Can't judge till I see it in action though.

Jim just wants a giant lobster monster because there's more meat on 'em.

Obviously crabs are the best creature in the sea, but our lobster brethren are cool too

The top down view sounds interesting. Hope they can pull it off.
