In conclusion, there is really no reason for anyone not to buy Burnout 3 unless that person HATES racing games. Crash mode only focuses on property damage, and we never see the people inside the cars who I presume are getting seriously injured in the pile-ups! Though there is no fighting or killing in the game, but it promotes aggression by encouraging players to destroy opposing racers by forcing them into crashes. Burnout 3: Takedown is rated T for mild violence. If you worried about the game being appropriate or not, well the main thing to think about is violence. Even so, Burnout 3 offers a premium game play experience that no one should miss, even if that someone isn’‘t particularly a fan of racing games. To be able to race with real cars instead of the generic ones included would have been sweet. First, the load times in Crash Mode can get annoying, and also the lack of liscensed cars hurts the experience. There are only two things I wish were different in Burnout 3. Do enough damage in crash mode and you’‘ll even get to see the newspaper headline you’‘ve made with all the carnage. If you want your cars to behave like cars if you are looking for something even close to a 'sim' racer, just pretend the numbers at the bottom read '1/5', and move. GAMEPLAY The 'Burnout' series will never be confused with 'Gran Turismo' or the upcoming 'Forza Motorsport'. New cars, tracks, and events are constantly being unlocked, along with trophies and postcards. Its 'Burnout 3: Takedown', and its the racing game for the rest of us. Perhaps the best part of Burnout 3 is how the player is constantly being rewarded. The flow of adrenalin never ends, and there are several other play modes to keep you entertained if regular races get old (though they never do). After a few seconds, the player is automatically put back into the action with nothing lost but a few precious seconds. According to the Burnout fandom wiki, the Dominator Sports is a mixture of elements from the Honda Prelude, and the Nissan GTR R35 and Honda NSX-R GT. Hunks of fire and steel dance across the screen while the player uses his or her limited control to steer gnarled core of the wreck into competing cars. However, the fastest of these original cars in the whole series can be found in Burnout 3: Takedown, with the high-performance Dominator Sports. Boy, are there crashes! Run into a wall or another vehicle and the player will be treated to some of the most amazing spectacle of destruction ever captured in the digital medium. It’s designed to keep you on the edge, and it succeeds splendidly. The game manages to perfect the balance between the sensation of being on an unpredictable thrill ride and the feeling of being in control. Burnout 3 raises the bar so high that its competitors can’‘t even see it with a telescope. When a game like this comes out, nothing else seems very fun any more. Not because it is a bad racing game, but rather because it is so fast and intense that it makes all other racing games seem slow and dull.
