Developed by EA's UK branch, this is one of the very few installments that have been developed outside of Criterion Games, the series' originator.Players compete in a World Tour divided into seven series based on different car classes, Classic, Factory, Tuned, Hot Rod, Super, Race Specials, and Dominator. From here you can race in several different challenges such as the Classic Race, Road Rage, Eliminator, Maniac Mode (driving very dangerously at oncoming traffic, doing jumps and getting near misses, all for more points), Drift Challenge, Near Miss Challenge, and others.Locations in Burnout Dominator include Europe, the Far East, the USA as well as South America and Eastern Europe (both exclusive to the PSP version).Compared to its predecessor in the franchise, Burnout Revenge, Dominator has some significant differences. First of all, the ability to traffic check same way traffic isn't present, but burnouts (the ability to chain together the boost meter for non-stop turbo speed) are back in. Also, there is no crash mode.VehiclesBurnout Dominator has about 36 cars (each Series from Classic, Factory, Tuner, Hotrod, Super, and Race has 5 cars each, the Dominator class has about 1 car from each Series) and most of the cars are based on real life vehicles. The game has the second highest amount of returning vehicles including the Custom Coupe Ultimate from Burnout 2, the Euro Circuit Racer from Burnout 3 and the Low Rider from Burnout Revenge.Classic SeriesDrift ClassicClassic MuscleAmerican ClassicEuro ClassicBurnout ClassicFactory SeriesFactory SportsLimited STJ CoupeFactory MuscleAmerican DrifterTuner SeriesWorks M-Type (Burnout Dominator)Tuned Sports (Burnout Dominator)Custom Coupe Ultimate (Burnout Dominator)Tuned Muscle (Burnout Dominator)Tuned DrifterHotrod SeriesBlue LightningStreet DodgerAssassinCustom Hot RodStreet RodSuper SeriesRoyal X3Works GTAmerican SuperSuper MuscleEuro SuperRace Specials SeriesOval Racer (Burnout Dominator)World Circuit Racer (Burnout Dominator)Euro Circuit Racer (Burnout Dominator)Euro Classic LM (Burnout Dominator)US Circuit Racer (Burnout Dominator)Dominator ClassLow Rider (Burnout Dominator)Factory GT (Burnout Dominator)Super CoupeChargerSuper Prototype (Burnout Dominator)GT RacerEventsMost common events in Dominator but all together there 11 events.Race - Race around the track against rivals to the Finish Line.Road Rage - Takedown as much of opponents as fast as possible under a limited amount of time.Eliminator - The driver who in last place has 30 seconds to escape being last or else their eliminated from the raceBurning Lap - Single lap Time TrailManiac Mode - Perform dangerous stunts along a track to earn as many points.Drift Challenge - Drift around corners to add points to your score.Near Miss Challenge - Earn as many Near Misses by dodging traffic cars as possible before times runs out.Burnout Challenge - Perform as many Burnouts Chain as possible before the times run out or passing the finish line.LocationsAll race tracks in Burnout Dominator.Tuscany (Europe) : Tuscan Hills & Tuscan View - Florence/Aria/TuscanyAutobahn (Europe) : Autobahn & Autobahn Loop - Wuppertal/Berlin/FrankfurtBushido Mountain (Far East) : Bushido Peak & Bushido Valley - Osaka/Kyoto/HimejiSpiritual City (Far East) : Spiritual Gate & Spiritual Towers - Kuala LumpurOcean Drive (USA) : Ocean Drive - Carmel/ Monterey/Big SurSteel Town (USA) : Steel Town Works - PittsburghGlacier Falls (USA) : Glacier Falls - Rocky Mountain National Park/Boulder, ColoradoBlack Gold (USA) : Black Gold Highway - HoustonPSPWith it's built in wifi capabilities, this allowed EA to put out two downloadable tracks exclusive to the PSP version of the game.
