Burnout 2: Point of Impact is the sequel to the popular racer Burnout. The game was created by Criterion Games and was published by Acclaim. It was released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2. It then launched for the Gamecube in early April 2003 and then the Xbox in late April of the same year in a special edition that the developers filled with improved features. Burnout 2 gets most of its fame from the much-loved crash mode, where the player tries to crash and cause as much insurance damage as possible. In 2004 the sequel Burnout 3: Takedown came out and immediately went to the number one spot in video game sales.

The game takes place this time around the United States, and includes real-world cities, landscapes, and roadways from the USA: the only difference is made by the track names. Each track has a little bit of everywhere (East versus West United States), though visually the locations appear to all be of West Coast origin.
