With the understanding that people like to misbehave online, in Burnout 3 players won't race through traffic rather, they'll fight through traffic using any means necessary including pushing, shoving, ramming, or shunting.With the game's redesigned Crash Mode, up to six players can take to the streets in a bare knuckle - nay, bald tires - race to the finish line, collecting points by eliminating the competition using any means necessary. Burnout 3 looks to surpass its predecessors by utilizing a new graphics engine, and by its ability to provide motoring mayhem to the masses online.In creating Burnout 3, developers decided to model play around the tendencies of online gamers. It’s not all just chaos and mayhem, either (though that is a big part of it).Buckle up and get ready to hit the streets where insane, hit-and-run, high-speed driving is what it takes to cross the finish line ahead of the pack. The two Burnout games in between Takedown and Paradise ( Revenge and Dominator) are pretty good, but something about them dilutes the pure brilliance of the Burnout franchise, which has never been as potent as it is in Burnout 3. So when Burnout Paradise turned out to be a massive, crushing disappointment, I was somewhat disheartened.īut then I hooked up the PS2 instead of the Xbox 360 and dug out Burnout 3, and everything was okay with the world again! Ignoring my 56 hour save, I’ve started from scratch, and it’s just as much fun as I remembered it. (That, or there are some very dangerous drivers out there.) I was obsessed. I dreamed about Burnout, and occasionally hallucinated about the game while walking down the street. I played it before breakfast I played it after work I played it any time I could get the use of the television, essentially.

I spent any and all spare time at work playing that game, and when I got hold of the full version, that was it.

My first taste of Burnout came when I was working in a games shop and the demo for Burnout 3: Takedown turned up. The only thing I look forward to more in life than a new Spider-Man movie is a new Burnout game.
