The music aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users expressing disappointment over the absence of an in-game soundtrack, which they feel is a significant downgrade from previous titles in the series. Instead, players are directed to use Spotify for music, which has been criticized as an unsatisfactory solution. Overall, the lack of engaging audio elements contributes to a perception of dull gameplay and a lifeless experience.
“The menu is very similar to Burnout Legends and 3, and while there are not a lot of new things in it, there are a few surprises. For instance, when you takedown a car, you can find the wreck again in the middle of the street on the next lap. The game has no music, but you can connect it with Spotify, which is a lot better because you can listen to your favorite songs. I'm a Slipknot fan, but when I drive my car, I always put on Static-X songs and the Doom soundtrack or Red Alert soundtracks.”
“There are some things that could be better -- it'd be nice to have a soundtrack, and the game does not seem to have any way to explain how to play, so hopefully you played some of the Burnout titles.”
“The two main things that are the reason for my 3-star rating are: a) the most horrible sound I have ever had in a racing game (and where the heck is the soundtrack? Trying to force me to buy a Spotify account to have music in a game is not what I expect from a game that always stood out in fantastic rocking race music) and b) the crashes simply suck.”
“No in-game music in the racing or the crash-mode danger zone.”
“I miss the Burnout 3 soundtrack, with Stryker, etc., but it's essentially the same game.”

The graphics in the game are generally described as decent but not exceptional, with some users noting a mix of clean visuals and occasional glitches. While the aesthetic design has received some praise, many reviewers feel that the overall graphical quality falls short of expectations, particularly in comparison to other racing titles. Overall, the graphics are considered satisfactory but lack the polish and innovation seen in more advanced games.
“The graphics in the game are actually pretty decent.”
“Very clean and crisp graphics.”
“The most impressive piece to Dangerous Driving is its aesthetic design.”
“The graphics are okay, not state of the art, but when I saw the use of the 'Unreal' engine, I didn't expect much anyways (not for a racing game, at least). The car designs are okay too, but also not as smooth and skillful as I had wished.”
“Bad graphics, limited options, bad storyline!”
“The graphics look decent, but the physics are flawed and gameplay is repetitive and boring at best.”

The gameplay is a mixed bag, appealing to fans of classic arcade racing with its fast-paced mechanics and destruction elements reminiscent of Burnout 3. However, many players criticize it for being repetitive, lacking engaging environments, and suffering from flawed physics, leading to a lifeless experience overall. While some race types and a lengthy career mode offer fun moments, the absence of music and online features detracts from the overall enjoyment.
“If you're hankering for the white-knuckle, no-nonsense gameplay of the racers of yesteryear, this is for you.”
“[captures the arcadey driving mechanics of Burnout 3, persistent wrecks are a novel idea that impact subsequent laps in interesting ways].”
“[familiar Burnout mechanics, no lack of speed or destruction, some race types are pretty fun, lengthy career mode].”
“No soundtrack and just dull gameplay.”
“The graphics look decent, but the physics are flawed and gameplay is repetitive and boring at best.”
“Plays like a lifeless clone; gameplay is both janky and boring; bland environments; no music; no online (yet).”

The game's stability is criticized for being plagued by numerous glitches and bugs, leading to inconsistent gameplay experiences, such as clipping through objects and unexpected crashes. While some users note that it runs well on certain platforms, the overall impression is that it lacks the polish and depth expected from a title in the franchise.
“The game captures that burnout feel and runs great on my system, with plenty of modes to explore.”
“I've experienced no crashes or glitches, making for a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.”
“The stability of the game is impressive; I can play for hours without any issues.”
“They seem to have taken code out of a few of the previous games and thrown it into an awkward and buggy title.”
“Let me say the graphics aren't that bad, but there are so many weird glitches, problems where you clip through traffic when you should have crashed, and many instances where I shouldn't have crashed but did.”
“It’s buggy, repetitive, and lacks all the depth that made Criterion Software’s acclaimed franchise such a phenomenal hit.”
