Dominator Ad Banned from Underground

Added by Cooper on 27 June 2007 04:53amComments (0)
Banned Dominator Advert

This is the image which Advertising watchdogs say is "irresponsible" and likely to encourage violence and dangerous driving.

The Advertising Standards Authority have banned the ad depicting a crashed car from the London Underground, saying:
We considered that the vivid depiction of the crashed car and burning tyre, combined with the slogans implication that people could achieve inner peace through acts of violence, was likely to cause serious or widespread offence.

We noted Electronic Arts argument that the ad's message was that playing the Burnout Dominator game might relieve stress and tension in real life.

We considered the ad's placement on the London Underground meant that it would be viewed by many, including young people.

We considered that the images of a car that seemed to have crashed at high speed and a burning tyre, together with a reference to violence, could be seen to condone a violent lifestyle, anti-social behaviour or dangerous driving. We concluded that the ad was irresponsible.

EA have said the advert's message was that playing Burnout Dominator may relieve stress and tension in real life.

So there we have it. According to the advertising standards authority, the dangerous driving in Burnout advocates real life violence, real life anti-social behavior and REAL LIFE dangerous driving. Here I am thinking that Burnout was a video game!

Dominator Shipped

Added by Cooper on 29 April 2007 09:39amComments (0)
First off, sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been very busy with various bits of college work and some other projects. Updates may remain slow for the next couple of weeks too but not to worry as there are always the forums where you can check for other members submitting news they find.

Burnout Dominator shipped to US stores yesterday and the reviews from several site are already in. Check some of them out below.

1UP
To play Burnout: Dominator is to jump back in time and reimagine how it might have been had things evolved differently after Burnout 2. The result is something that feels quite discernibly like the B-team effort, the filler product, the "shut up and play this while we get on with the real sequel" game.

7/10

IGN
Burnout Dominator is best thought of as a "Greatest Hits, but Not All of Them" from the Burnout series. The racing is just as adrenaline pumping as it's ever been, and possibly even more so than what we saw in Burnout Revenge as you need to be afraid of traffic once again. However, the lack of standard features and modes like online play and Crash are a rather big disappointment. It's certainly worth a pick-up, but if you're looking for the true next title in the series, you'll have to wait for Burnout 5.

GamePro
Even with the lack of a Crash mode and no online play, Burnout Dominator is a wise investment, even for the Burnout first-timer, especially with a $40 price tag.

4.25/5

Don't expect to see Dominator in Europe any time soon as the release date is currently set at March 23rd. I will be updating the site short after the release here in the UK with a Burnout Dominator section which will feature all the usual guides, galleries and a load of other cool treats.

Additionally here is the official soundtrack for Dominator which was released last week.

Dominator Soundtrack and Videos

Added by Cooper on 16 February 2007 12:42amComments (0)
Over at the forums, IceyDragon, has managed to sift through the many new gameplay videos and ingame screenshots of Burnout Dominator which have been released over the last few days and come up with a list of 30 songs which featured in them. Knowing this, it is pretty safe to say that these songs should appear in the final soundtrack for Burnout Dominator (for the PS2 at least)

Artist is in bold:

iForward, Russia! - Nine
Alice in Chains - Would?
Army of Anyone - It Doesn't Seem to Matter
Army of Me - Going Through Changes
B'z - Friction
Brand New - The Archers Bows Have Broken
Bromheads Jacket - Fight Music for the Fight
Dead Identities - Long Way Out
Earl Greyhound - S.O.S
Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot (Big Mac Mix)
Hot Hot Heat - Give Up?
Jane's Addiction - Stop!
Killswitch Engage - My Curse
LCD Soundsystem - Us Vs Them
Lifetime - Haircuts and T-Shirts
Make Good Your Escape - Beautiful Ruin
Maxeen - Block Out The World
N.E.R.D - RockStar (Jason Nevins Remix)
Saosin - Collapse
Senses Fail - Calling All Cars
Shadows Fall - Burning the Lives
Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko
SkyBombers - It Goes Off
Sugarcult - Dead Living
The Confession - Through These Eyes
The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
The Have - One Step Ahead
The Photo Atlas - Red Orange Yellow
The Styles - Glitter Hits
The Sword - Freya

Judging by Burnout Revenges 40 song soundtrack, there may be more to come but not too many more.

IceyDragon has also managed to piece together some bits of information about the tracks in the game and provide us with some details about them.

Autobahn Loop (Germany) - Self explanatory really, massive long autobahns to drive down, plenty of oncoming...and traffic

Black Gold Highway (U.S.A I believe) - Don't know much about this track, all I do know is it looks more focused on big highways than say a gold mining town or something. Who knows.

Ocean Drive (U.S.A) - Another self explanatory track, lots of ocean scenery, similar to Big Surf Shores on Burnout 2, but maybe with some elements of Silver Lake from Burnout 3 also.

Spiritual Gate (Malaysia) - Very modern city, but still has this Far East feel about it in the way it is built, quite a few palm trees also

Tuscan View (Italy) - Very similar to Eternal City from Burnout Revenge. Lots of houses in that style, and small narrow streets to drive through.

Thanks to IceyDragon for the heads up on this.

If that wasn't enough, I have stumbled across some new screenshots of Burnout Dominator for the PS2.

If that still isn't enough you can check out one of the links below as both GameSpot and IGN have posted a load of new Screenshots for the game. Check the out along with previews for the game at the links below.
