Game Overview

Get aggressive to get ahead, in the wildest racing game you've ever seen! / Rated M: Mature Burnout 3: Takedown rewrites the rules of the road with its aggressive racing action. Get behind the wheel and experience real high-speed action. Use your car as a weapon and battle your way to the front of the pack -- by taking down rivals and instigating spectacular crashes.

The Bottom Line

Burnout 3: Takedown takes the popular racing series even further as it introduces a unique 'crash and burn' racing concept and a one-of-a-kind special effects engine that delivers spectacular visuals. The intensity heats up as players race, and often crash, their way through oncoming traffic in an attempt to claim the top spot. Boasting multiple single-player, multiplayer and online crash and race modes, Burnout 3 offers players the opportunity to race through busy city streets and be rewarded for taking risks that result in heart-pounding action and electrifying crashes.
