Burnout 3: Takedown has made crashing a tactical advantage, and for people like me, it’s great because, in every other driving game, crashing is the only thing in which I seem skilled.
Burnout has made aggressive driving an advantage, from driving into oncoming traffic, tailgating, near misses, to smashing opponents off the road, all this can actually get you first place. In the event of a crash, you can affect your car in “Impact Time” whereupon you control the arc of your crash and takedown rivals as they try to dodge your wreck.
Eliminating rivals during “Impact Time” can get you the lead, because of this, I found the lure of first place, was replaced by the rush, of causing race mayhem.
There is a plethora of unlockable cars and races, and several game modes so it is sure to keep you entertained for a long time. In most racing games, you need to hold a good driving line. In Burnout 3: Takedown, the line is torn-up and will be littered with the shredded metal of your rivals.
