Burnout 3: Takedown

Outstanding!

The Burnout series comes into its own. Come get your metal twisted. Read Review

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.

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.
