The next game in the Burnout series called Burnout Crash! had more of its details "leaked" by the ratings board of Australia. Previously, the same ratings board accidentally revealed the game before EA had a chance to officially announce the game.
From the revelations, the game appears to be taking a more "cartoony" approach to gameplay unlike previous games in the series. The game is done in a top-down perspective and includes new stuff for the challenge mode such as "tornadoes, spacecraft, and lobster monsters."

This is an action game in which players earn points for creating traffic pileups. From a top-down perspective, players initiate crashes by driving 'cartoony' vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, vans, buses) into busy intersections; multiple crashes trigger score multipliers and rack up large 'bills' of property damage. Each level is accompanied by crashing sounds, small explosions, and vocal encouragement (e.g., 'Cool,' 'Maximum Carnage!'). In some levels, players are instructed to crash into police cars (e.g., 'Crash them before they bust you!'); in other sequences, oversized airplanes, tornados, lobster monsters, and UFOs slide across the screen, destroying any vehicles in their path.

The game is set for a unannounced release date on the Xbox 360 and PS3 with more information expected at E3 2011.
