Author's Description: Burn 2 is packed with turret strafing, laser blasting, and city-bombing fast-paced arcade style gameplay.

Burn 2 is a team deathmatch space shooter featuring Gravitar-style gameplay, deformable terrain, colored lighting, randomly generated planets/buildings/landscapes/skies, stereo sound, and a varied techno MIDI soundtrack. Matches can be as many as five on five, with up to 5 human players (same computer) and any number of AI players to fill in the gaps. Supports joystick, gamepad, and keyboard play.

Be sure to experiment with various team sizes, and skim the readme for help on which key in your chosen control operates the bombs.

• 8It's a very good game, takes a lot of skill to play it properly. Ramming someone into the ground with your bullets is really fun, but what's annoying is that at night, you don't even know where the ground is. Also, the AI could be better. I have to play them 1 on 4 to be posed with a challenge ;).

• 6Graphically this is nice, and the nifty effects (blur, lighting, etc) give it a distinct flair, but the wonky controls and ever-present (and strong) gravity suck the life out of this game. And quite unfortunately, on my 2ghz machine the game really chugged at times. Needs a minor overhaul, and it could easily grab a 4/5.

• 10Wow, this is a pretty sweet game :) I like the lighting, and the planet/space battles. I wish space and planets didn't change, though. Also, once I know how to play the game I always win because my health resets when the other guy dies :) A good game; I'll have to keep an eye out for updates.
