Burnout 2: Point of Impact

Burnout 2: Point of Impact is a street racing game focused on speed and crashing. Unlike many racing games that use closed courses, you drive through cities with real traffic and city infrastructure. Designers built an entire city and the surrounding areas, and the race courses run through the streets of the counties, so parts of one race course often cross parts of other courses. Instead of encouraging safe driving, Burnout strongly encourages offensive driving. Driving on the wrong side of the road, barely missing passing traffic, drifting, and jumps all add to your boost burnout meter. Speed boosts and jumps help you dive past buses, trucks and anything else that gets in the way. The more offensive and dangerous your driving is, the more boost you get. The game was developed by Criterion Games and released in 2002 for the Xbox, GameCube and PlayStation 2. It supports single player and split screen play, with first person and third person views.
