Top-down, Kinect-enabled Burnout Crash smashing XBLA, PSN this fall

Criterion Games' follow-up to the open world Burnout Paradise, Burnout Crash—or CRASH!, as it prefers to be called—is a downloadable game described by the developer as "a crazy mix of pinball and game shows."
The top-down arcade-style game appears to be all about destruction. You'll earn points for crashing into cars, making things blow up, and just generally causing as much chaos as possible. "We’ve evolved the core gameplay which everyone loved about Crash Mode," said creative director Richard Franke.
The game will also make use of Autolog—the much-touted social feature that debuted in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, also developed by Criterion—in order to track high scores and provide other social networking features. The game also introduces Autolog challenges, for competitive multiplayer play.
Crash is coming to both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, but 360 owners who happen to have Kinect will also be treated to an extra mode: a local multiplayer mode where players use gesture controls in some sort of team-based party game. Based on the footage above, it looks like the Kinect mode will have gamers pretending to turn an invisible steering wheel in order to drive their vehicles.
