BURNOUT: STILL AWESOME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS 8.5 OUT OF 10

Burnout is still one of the best racing games ever made, because it's just so damn awesome to crash things and wreak havoc upon cities. The racing is still solid, especially when crashing an opponent. The graphics are still great, the city designs are still awesome, and the crash modeling is still awesome. Unfortunately, some of the fun that this game has, has worn off for me. With that said this is still one of the most awesome racing games ever made.

Fun racing/wrecking game!

My cousin told me about this game and when we rented it we had SO much fun! Im notorious for my wrecking in real life so this is a good way to wreck and not get hurt lol. Its a real fun game but dont play too much or it turns into the same thing over and over.

excellent game.

this game was an awsome game. the first time I played it, I was immediatly hooked. this game has every type of racing you can think of. my personal favorite is the rage, I just like the idea of seeing how many cars you can wreck before the finish line, or when your car is totaled. I also enjoy the crash, I find it very challenging. I always like to plan out the way the crash is going to happen, how the car is going to land and roll, etc. I do recommend this game to anyone of all ages.

Wow...just wow...

I have never been a fan of racing games. Too boring for my taste. Until I played Burnout.
Once, I played Burnout 2 for Gamecube (my brother had rented it), and I thought it was cool, but not cool enough to buy. Note that I didn't play that game much at all. So about 2 years later, I go to sleepover at someone's house, and he's playing Burnout 3. I look at it, ask if i can play, and I'm hooked.
Now enough story, on to the game. You can choose from a varaity of cars, and each of them have different aspects (duh). Then you choose a track or challenge (depending on what race mode you're in), and you start. Yeah, it's pretty much you going 200 through crowded streets, knocking the other guys into stuff, and crashing yourself.
Yes, in Burnout, crashing is a huge part of the game. You can make someone crash after you crash (aftertouch takedown) by moving your car around by using "impact time". Pretty much you hold the "a" button down while holding the control stick in which direction you want to go. Usually you won't go far, however. Also, you don't want to crash all the time. In fact, in the main story you pretty much want to avoid crashing.
There is a full-flegged multiplayer mode in Burnout 3, even going so far as to offer online play on Xbox Live. Modes include a race, a demolition derby-type mode, a mode where you have to cause the most whreckage by crashing, etc.
Also, on the Xbox version, you can use songs stored on your Xbox and listen to them in-game.
Now, that was a lot, but it's pretty much screaming, BUY THIS GAME. Even if you don't like racers, you'll love it. Although you should probably rent it first.

cool

great game, worth buying, but rather get burnout revenge... well anyway. Its awesome a lot better the other racing games like NFS. You can kill your opponents and stuff and do crash modes. The only thing annoying is the theme movie and the stupid STRIKE ON CRASH FM, hes so annoying.

Awesome Game!

This is probably my all time favorite car racing game. I LOVE IT! The only one that might be slightly better is the PSP version. But that's because I can take that version with me.

But for gameplay on my 55 inch widescreen, this game is bomb baby!

Very realistic! I love the custom soundtracks. I love to put in great smooth jazz and 80's hits, while I race around the roads, and run over other cars! It rocks!

Buy this game, and enjoy videogaming for life!

Takedown is simply one of the greatest games made. The games main attraction is that it encourages you to take unnecessary risks (such as big jumps, driving in the wrong lane, and crashing other cars) by awarding you with boost or turbo. The system works extremely well. The game setup is another attraction. It is setup in a map feature where you can jump from event to event. At all times multiple events will be unlocked allowing you to progress even if you can't complete one race. This keeps the fun coming and allows most people to finish the majority of the game. Takedown has a great sense of speed. Your palms will sweat and your eyes sting, becuase if you blink its over.

Now that the game is only $20 there is absolutely no reason not to buy this stellar game.

I have since played Revenge on the Xbox and 360 and Takedown is still the best of the series.

All for Burnout say "Aye"

This is an awesome game! This is for people who want Burnout Revenge-Sized action. The Road Rage is insane and the music is good. This game is the reason it has won so many awards, thanks to EA.

I'm not a big fan of the racing genre, so I hesitated a long time to rent this one. By the time I had to return the rental I immediately bought it. This is, bar none, the best racing game ever.

Racing games traditionally have never correctly tackled the art of crashing into other cars. It's something that everyone wants to do in the game, but is has always been detrimental to your chance of winning the game. Burnout finally awards you for having fun taking out other cars, instead of penalizing you. It's about time!

Carnage is Fun

This game is for the destructive kid in all of us. It has full, all out high speed action, spectacular car crashes and great team as well as versus play.
Make as much money causing mass destruction or win new cars by knocking out the most oppents.
Overall a fun game to play.
