It retains the core gameplay of the series, as players race at top speeds through dozens of World Tour events testing "reckless skill-based" driving techniques.

The main single-player mode known as the World Tour is split into 7 different series, based on the different classes of car that are in the game.

The series are Classic, Factory, Tuned, Hot Rod, Super, Race Specials and Dominator.

The vehicle lineup is mostly new with some cars from previous two Burnout titles peppered into the game (such as the Custom Coupe Ultimate, Euro Circuit Racer and Works M-Type).
