In Burnout Revenge, players compete in a range of racing game types with different aims. The game was also made backwards compatible with the Xbox One on, and the Xbox Series X/S upon the console's launch. A successor titled Burnout Paradise, was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 22 January 2008.

Revenge also expands on the combat side of its gameplay with new features such as 'traffic checking' (ramming same-way traffic), Vertical Takedowns (landing on a rival car after the player's car drives over a jump), a new game type (Traffic Attack) and significant changes to the gameplay of Crash mode (a game type where players attempt to cause a crash as large as possible).

Similar to its predecessor Burnout 3: Takedown, Revenge focuses on a mixture of racing in the midst of rush-hour traffic, and vehicular combat players use the cars themselves as weapons. Burnout Revenge is a racing video game developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts for PlayStation 2, Xbox and Xbox 360.
