BURNOUT 3 TAKEDOWN 360 DRIVERS

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. At its core, these are the main elements that make it so frighteningly satisfying to play - you won't want to put it down.
