Burnout 3 Takedown - PS2 (RESTART)

The series of Burnout It has always made breathtaking speed and the intense thrill of driving in the wrong direction in traffic its strong points. Burnout 3 Takedown continues this tradition, but adds an unprecedented level of aggression to the adrenaline factor. The title's 'Takedown' refers to the dastardly art of crashing rival cars off the road, a strategy you'll become increasingly familiar with as you play.

The emphasis on an aggressively suicidal driving style has a considerable impact on the gameplay system of Burnout 3 Takedown , it's no longer enough to simply overtake. You have to follow the opponent's slipstream so you can get alongside him and then push him into the crash barrier, watch the sparks fly everywhere, crash into him again and watch his car spin through the air before landing in a wreck. And then do it all again on the next car...

The perfect 'Takedown' is made even more delicious by the camera work; at the moment of impact, the camera pulls back to capture the carnage in all its scope in slow motion before returning to fluidly follow the race. As in previous Burnout , your boost bar fills up as you graze other cars in traffic at high speeds. Once it's filled, activate the boost for a breathtaking acceleration of speed, accompanied by impressive motion blur effects. You can almost feel the force of gravity pushing behind you.
