If you want to do the same for race modes, that's completely up to you. If you want to unlock crash junctions for several hours and earn all the gold medals, go for it.

A GPS-style map grid provides you with two simple choices at the start of World Tour: race or crash. Burnout 2 forced players to choose to race or crash in completely unrelated modes, but the new World Tour design allows complete freedom that ensures few will experience the same path. The main single-player mode, Burnout 3 World Tour, offers up a non-linear progression of race challenges. The strong gameplay mechanics at its heart provide the lifeblood for an entire body of modes and extras, so everything comes together seamlessly. It transcends the usual quarter-popping, checkpoint-style days of old (something that was evident in the original Burnout) and proves itself as a true console experience. It is through these synergies that Criterion's racer offers something new to the genre. The challenge to the player, to you, is to balance this new super-charged, arcade-style gameplay with some traditional racing skills. That's why there's been so much refinement and focus on how they work. But you have to understand that takedowns, the act of bullying another car off the road, play a huge part in the strategy of winning. Make no mistake, though, Takedown is still about racing skills if you can't handle the turns or control your car with a steady hand, you will endure many a defeat.

It just feels right, as can be said for so many of the most beloved games out there.

It's a little hard to put into words, because only when you experience, first-hand, taking down the opponent drivers - mashing metal and sending them careening into a brick wall or semi-truck - will you get it.

Seriously, Burnout 3 vies for fastest racer ever created and, magnificently, it's playable at these sonic speeds ( movie - 3.3MB).Īt its core, these are the main elements that make it so frighteningly satisfying to play - you won't want to put it down. As a reward for your valiance you'll bump up your burnout meter (speed boost) capacity, which allows you to rocket down the trafficked highways so fast you'll swear your eyelids are going to peel off and take your face along with them. In Burnout 3 you get into all-out brawls with the CPU drivers while trying to maintain your place in the race - it's a really gratifying gameplay mechanic ( movie - 5.4MB). It's a super-arcade racer that treads new ground it rips off its Clark Kent exterior, disposing of perfect braking and flawless cornering like an unwanted button-up shirt and tie, to reveal the genre-defining hero it was destined to be. Gameplay It's a bold statement, and there are a lot of factors that make it a truth and if we had to pinpoint the most obvious one it would be this: Takedown is instantly enjoyable and maddeningly addictive. You didn't have to be a racing fan to love Burnout, and our favorite thing about the game was the way it could make converts even of gaming newbs.We do not hesitate to say, then, that this is one of the best games there is - not just of 2004 - but of this generation. The sound was even more genius, with splintering glass and the sound of a cash register tallying up the millions of dollars of mayhem.īut the best was road rage, where the whole point was to be as much of a jerk on the road as possible, hoarding your boost power-ups for the right moment when you'd accelerate to blistering speeds just to sideswipe the guy next to you (and if you were lucky, you might even get two in one blow). There might be better ways to burn off the frustration of the day than racing down a road at blistering speeds while trying to force your opponents off the road and into spectacular crashes, but we doubt that they're legal.Ĭrash mode, where you'd barrel your car into the midst of traffic in order to cause as much monetary damage as possible, proved to be addictive as hell, and we're the first to admit we would stay up late at night zooming into the same intersection over and over, trying to get the x4 multiplier bonus and that extra crashbreaker.
