Hi Chris!
Great review of Burnout Crash! I thought you and your readers might be entertained by the latest video for Burnout Crash, something that you could never prepare yourself for at least while Baywatch was on the air.
Legendary international superstar David Hasselhoff is the Master of Disaster in Burnout Crash!, the latest downloadable title from the makers of the Burnout series. Created by Criterion Games and brought to you by Electronic Arts, Burnout Crash! returns to the fan favorite Crash mode with a more lighthearted and fun approach. Watch The Hoff and other players earn high scores by barreling into traffic to cause the most amount of damage in this downloadable game for all-ages for both PlayStation and Xbox 360 out now.
Featuring colorful graphics and brand new features including the first game mode designed exclusively for Microsoft Kinect. Two teams can use gestures, like The Hoff’s epic egg-laying move, to cause the most of amount of destruction. With Kinect Party Play, up to 14 players can split into teams in turn-based gameplay on one television to crash and burn in an all-out battle!
The official press release with details is below, but we think the video of The Hoff playing Burnout Crash! via the Kinect says it all.
Check out the video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCcqTF4c83M) of The Hoff laying his egg and destroying an ice cream truck to claim his rightful title via Kinect for this pick-up-and-play title. Alternatively the video can be viewed here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ7-QidH8R8)
Join the mayhem and share the video with your readers and the secret legion of Hoff fans. Then become the next Master of Disaster on PlayStation®Network and Xbox®LIVE Arcade for $9.99 or 800 Mircosoft points.
