Gameplay-wise, it's mostly the same with a few new events and sponsor cars added, and the 'golf' minigame removed. The overhead view of the track in the menus has been replaced with video of driving, and the loading screens are replaced with flat images of wrecked cars. It wasn't mixed well and you hear it every time you press the boost, so it gets grating unless you can tune it out.

The audio is also more robust, and is exceptional except for the added noise when you start boosting. Like you mentioned though, the bloom was overdone and the lighting feels overblown to the point of blindness on a few circuits. It's cleaner looking because of the HD output and the power from the 360. Now the Xbox 360 release has it's own quirks. There's also some gameplay differences, most notably the weird 'golf' minigame when you start a crash event. The menus also feel more like B3's because they have the overhead map of the course highlighting the route. The loading screens are different, more in line with Burnout 3's.

However, it feels a bit more polished since the bulk of production was probably done for these versions. The original release (PS2, Xbox) is obviously less sharp looking, by nature of it running on older hardware and standard definition. We've gathered them all up below, so if you're looking to see if a specific game is compatible on your Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S console, remember that CTRL+F is your friend here.They both have their strengths and weaknesses, so it's really up to personal choice.

With the Xbox backwards compatible program having concluded, the library of retro games is a strong collection of greatest hits and quirky indies. A rare handful of games are only available digitally, some are region-exclusive, and other games have been delisted over the years. Several Halo games for example are only playable from disc, but their digital versions can be downloaded through the Master Chief Collection. It's worth noting that several of the games below have received remasters and have been bundled into dedicated collections over the years.
