Review: Danger Zone (PlayStation 4)

by Jim Smale · June 20, 2017

If you’re feeling burnt out by congestion and jammed roads, take the highway to the Danger Zone. Take your revenge on rush hour traffic. This place is a paradise for those who like their driving flame-grilled.

Pros:

Nice graphics.
1.35GB Download speed.
Training area.
Simple controls.
Gamelay is very much a Burnout crash affair. Drive into traffic and rack up a high score.
Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum level ranks.
Cash- Collect cash to increase your score. Collect the cash in order to unlock the gold cash bundle for maximum bonuses. Cash is labelled bronze silver and gold.
Online leaderboard support with friend filters.
Smashbreaker- Wreck enough cars and you get to detonate an explosive in your car allowing you to move around and cause more mayhem.
Hide HUD option for taking screenshots.
Clear easy to read UI.
Very much a pick up and play title.
Even after you stop moving, The repercussions of your actions play out for a short time.
12 Trophies.
Arcade experience.
Good pass and play party game.
20 scenarios to tackle.

Cons:

If you go out of bounds its instant game over.
Constant loading screens even on restarts.
No quick retry button.
Cannot change view.
No music in game.
Levels feel more like you have to do them a particular way in order to pass them.
The play area feels barren. Its meant to be a generated world for a virtual experience. With no life on the outside of the roads or indeed buildings it is a very cold empty place.
Smashbreaker feels weak.
Game is too short with only 20 levels to play.
