Review summary :

9.6 Gameplay
A fast, powerful and exciting racing game. It's addictive and over the top with enough of a challenge to make it worthwhile.

9.0 Graphics
The crash effects at an awesome 60fps make for some of the best graphics out there on the Xbox.

9.9 Longevity
2-8 players online make for some great races over Xbox Live with your buddies. Meanwhile the career mode will keep you coming back for more from a single player perspective. That word again... addictive !

9.0 Presentation
From a presentation point of view Burnout 3 : Takedown is almost without complaint. Criterion have produced a game that just oozes style and delivers the goods.

8.5 Sound
The soundtracks are fine but you can add custom soundtracks if you choose to.

9.2 Overall
Burnout continues to be the best racing game of its genre. Where can the series go from here ?

Grab the wheel and hold on as you takedown the competition with the most spectacular smashes this side of Hollywood. Use your car as a weapon and battle to the front of the pack. Live dangerously and indulge your thirst for twisted metal with a dedicated crash mode that rewards you for creating massive pile-ups. With over 100 events spanning 40 tracks, addictive multiplayer gameplay, and the most dramatic crashes ever seen in a videogame, Burnout 3: Takedown is a breakneck, adrenaline-fuelled, awe-inspiring racing experience. Aggressive racing required, seatbelts not included.

* 40+ Tracks: Driving locations span 3 continents. Take on and takedown opponents across a broad range of conditions and environments, and experience dozens of unique crash junctions.
* Crash Technology: Sophisticated crash technology recreates high-speed crashes with extreme detail and allows you to use your wheels as a weapon and takedown rivals, controlling the car even after impact.

*PlayStation 2 online play requires Internet Connection, Network Adaptor and Memory Card for the PlayStation 2. Xbox owners will require a subscription to Xbox Live.
