Features

Burnout® 3: Takedown™ rewrites the rules of the road. Arcade racing is now driven by a new mantra: Aggressive Racing Required. Racing gamers and adrenaline junkies are invited behind the wheel to experience unprecedented speed and action. Use your car to battle your way to the front of the pack. Take down rivals and trigger spectacular crashes.

Risk and reward: Earn boost by taking risks and battling your competitors through oncoming traffic, near-misses, tailgating, jumps, and drifting.
Crash mode: Cause wanton destruction in a mode dedicated to crashing. Racers are challenged to crash into (and through) busy intersections, creating carnage and as much damage as possible. Unlock new rewards and more features!
Incredible depth: Maximize mayhem with 67 cars, 40 different races, and 100 crash junctions on three different continents.
Multiple race types: Scream through nine different race modes including: Single Race, Tournament, Lap Eliminator, Burning Lap, Road Rage, and more.
Online multiplayer with Xbox LIVE®: Race online in seven different modes, featuring up to six participants battling through full oncoming traffic. Online modes include variations of Crash Mode, Single Race, Road Rage, and more.
Awesome crash technology: Take advantage of sophisticated simulation modeling that recreates high-speed crashes with extreme detail. Use your car to take out opponents—you’ll continue controlling your vehicle even after crashing!

Exclusive Tip

If you played the first two Burnout games, you'll need to know that the Burnout turbo meter has changed for the better with Burnout 3: Takedown. Don't worry, speed fiends, you'll still build up your Burnout boost by driving head-on into traffic, making near-misses, and forcing your foes into the rails. But now the boost doesn't run out after you use it, and that means you can get that extra burst of speed at crucial moments, causing huge pile-ups and photo-finish wins. Manage it carefully, and use it often!
