Dangerous Driving (video Game)
''Dangerous Driving'' is a racing video game developed by Three Fields Entertainment, released on 9 April 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Gameplay ''Dangerous Driving'' is a racing game and considered by the developers as a spiritual sequel to the ''Burnout'' series. Players, after selecting a car and track, attempt to beat the other races (computer-controlled, or other online players). ''Dangerous Driving'' includes the same crash elements from ''Burnout''; players can ram opponents into the sides of the track or oncoming damage to cause them to crash (known as Takedowns), temporarily stopping them from racing before their car respawns and they can continue on. By performing Takedowns or other driving stunts like drifting, they build up a Nitro meter; once past a certain threshold they can activate Nitro which gives them a speed boost while some part of the meter is filled.
