You can participate in events spread out across three regions the USA, Europe, and the Far East. The World Tour is the meat of the single player. Most vehicles need to be unlocked by earning enough Burnout points, performing enough takedowns, winning Face Offs, earning enough gold medals, earning enough crash dollars, and by winning specific World Tour events. There’s a good number of vehicles to choose from and they’re split up into groups or series, they have different stats in top speed and weight, and you can change their colors. The racing in Burnout 3 is more than just driving around a track. This is when you take an opponent down in a certain way, during certain events, and on certain tracks. Another unique takedown type is the Signature Takedown. My only issue with this is that the camera doesn’t always position itself in a spot where you can easily see incoming opponents. When you crash, you can enter impact time and steer your wreckage to get in the way of incoming opponents and if they crash into your wreckage, it’s considered an aftertouch takedown. One of the more unique takedown types is the aftertouch takedown. You want to ram into them causing them to crash into buildings, traffic vehicles, and pillars, and watch parts of their vehicle come flying off as they roll along the road, causing a pileup of traffic vehicles. You not only want to beat your opponents, you want to destroy them. As the name implies, takedowns are a big part of the game. Boosting is important and can often be the key to winning races and setting record times.īurnout 3 features an incredible sense of speed and impressive destruction making for one of the most exhilarating and addictive racing games I’ve ever experienced. Unlike the previous two games, you can activate the boost at any time and boost can be stolen from opponents by rubbing them, slamming them, shunting them, grinding against them, and by denying a takedown. Crashing will result in losing a segment. Taking down an opponent will not only grant you boost but also extend your boost bar with an additional segment and you can have up to a max of four. Dangerous driving includes tailgating opponents, near missing traffic, driving on the wrong side of the road, drifting, escaping crashes, and taking down opponents. Driving dangerously fills up your boost bar. For this review, I played the Xbox version.īurnout 3 is an arcade styled racing game just like the previous entries but it’s faster and more action packed. Developed by Criterion Games and published by EA, Burnout 3: Takedown was released for PlayStation 2 and Xbox in September, 2004.
I think Burnout 2 is where the series started to take shape but it’s the next game that defined the series.
Burnout 2: Point of Impact took it to a whole new level and put a bigger focus on the crashing. Burnout introduced us to a world of a high speed racing and awesome crashes.
