Burnin' Rubber: Crash n' Burn
Burnin' Rubber: Crash n' Burn is a spin-off game and a tribute to Burnin' Rubber 4 which was released on October 4, 2013.
Gameplay
The game operates in freeroam exclusively, with objectives all relating to causing havoc and destruction to The City. Similar to Traffic Slam 3, completing them will unlock various new challenges and levels that grant access to more vehicles. Players maintain control of their vehicle until its destruction, which triggers an aftertouch period that allows them to temporarily steer the wreck.
Players start in a set Safehouse, which serves as a spawn point, central hub, and respawn point in the event of vehicle destruction, recall or mission completion. It offers an interface that allows for various purchases, including vehicle selection, styles, upgrades and gadgets. Multiple Safehouses are available, and the last used one becomes the default spawn for the next game.
A limited selection of vehicles are available. Each has a set weapon that cannot be changed, and can be mounted with a gadget of choice, with a style being optional. The Hunter and the A7 Predator can be driven initially, and more are unlocked through in-game purchases after reaching a specified level. Mobile-exclusive vehicles are locked behind microtransactions.
