You can either physically crash your opponent by, say, preventing him from leaving a lane causing him to crash head on with a car.

Basically, the takedown is a move where you slam or outsmart your opponent into wiping out.

While I'm sure many already know what the takedown is, I'll still explain it to the five of you who don't. Now, take everything I said about the visuals and double it if you intend to use the game progressive scan compatibility.īurnout 3 still plays fairly similar to the previous two, with the exception of new techniques one of which is, of course, the takedown.

The detail on the crashes is just so damn good. And what about those crashes? They're downright brutal I find myself cringing after every time I crash my car. The reflections in Burnout 3 match the level of detail found in the top tier games in the racing genre, including Gran Turismo 3 & 4. I would have never expected to see such incredible lighting techniques displayed in an arcade racer, but Criterion has shattered my one-dimensional expectations. Then we have the game's marvelous lighting. There's just so much going on in Burnout 3 and so many effects being thrown around that it almost boggles the mind. What's probably my favorite aspect of the visuals, not including the frame rate, is the eye-candy and the lighting. Everything from the cars, to the trees, to the distant backgrounds, to the ground looks very clean and sharp. With all of the beautiful looking levels, Criterion knew that they would also have to step it up in terms of texture detail - and they have. Comparing Burnout 3's backgrounds to those found in the previous installment would be unfair Burnout 2 looks almost barren in comparison - there's just far more to look at in Burnout 3's scenery than there was in Burnout 2's.

It's always been a wonder on how Criterion manages to pump so much out of the PS2. What's more is that the frame rate has yet to impact Burnout's overall visual package - a rarity in this generation. A blistering 60 frames per second in every game makes the Burnout series the quickest racer on the market. Though road rage isn't the only key segment that's made Burnout such a hit with many it's also the eye-candy. Ever since its debut in 2001, the Burnout series has spawned a cult following of gamers who find pleasure in unleashing hell on the roads and against their opponents.
