Item Description

Slam a rival into a concrete pillar and Burnout 3: Takedown cuts to a slow-motion shot of their car crumpling, then hands you a fresh rush of boost as a reward. That one idea, turning aggression into fuel, transformed Criterion's series from a brilliant arcade racer into the most exhilarating kind of chaos on the PlayStation 2, and it arrived in 2004 as the studio's first Burnout under Electronic Arts.

The Takedown is everything here. Every rival on the road is a target, and shunting them into traffic, walls and oncoming trucks fills your boost and extends your lead. Special Signature Takedowns, tied to specific spots on each course, are collected like trophies, and even crashing isn't the end: during the slow-motion wreck you can use Aftertouch to steer your tumbling car into a passing opponent and take them down with you. Road Rage events turn the whole race into a demolition derby, with targets to hit before your car gives out.

Crash Mode returns bigger and louder. Each event drops you at a busy junction, and the goal is to trigger the most catastrophic and expensive pileup possible, then set off the Crashbreaker to blow your wreck into the air and catch a few more cars in the blast. The World Tour campaign stretches across courses in the USA, Europe and the Far East with over sixty race events, and Crash dollars and Burnout Points unlock more than sixty vehicles along the way. Split-screen multiplayer modes make it a reliable party game, and the presentation runs on the energy of Crash FM, with DJ Stryker cheering on your carnage between licensed EA Trax songs.

Critics ranked it among the best-reviewed racing games of the PS2 generation, and it set the template for Burnout Revenge and the series' later run. Plenty of fans still point to Takedown as the moment Burnout was at its most perfectly tuned, fast enough to make your palms sweat and generous enough that every crash feels like part of the show rather than a punishment.
