May 25, 2023Burnout 3:Takedown is peak of the burnout series. even when you never played racing game or any video game at all. you would have a great time playing this masterpiece. great handling, banger soundtracks, satisfiying gameplay loop and progression, Sound is great, and finally it just a banger game. 10/10
-
May 25, 2023Best game of all times, i loved playing it on my ps2. God i miss those days, were the best for racing games
-
May 26, 2023Best OST, amazing gameplay, just fun! Although maybe not as cool as Paradise, still a 10/10 for me
-
May 25, 2023One of the only arcade racing games with basically no faults. Game's got incredible polish and is just extremely fun, simple as that.
-
May 25, 2023''Just High Octane Fun'' Really brings a lot of memories and revisiting this game is just a blast highly re-playable.

May 25, 2023gud. .

May 25, 2023Definitely the best racing game I've ever played. I played it again recently and it's still as fun as it was when I was a kid. Play it if you have the opportunity, much better if you have friends.
-
May 25, 2023An absolute blast to play. If you want an awesome racing experience with speed, crashes and carnage, this is the game for you. It pretty much defined every Burnout game that followed.
-
May 26, 2023The best driving game ever made - perfect combination of fun, destruction, competition, and racing. Still playing it 18 years later.
-
May 26, 2023This game is MASTERPIECE, you should buy it, i never had fun after 30 seconds in a rating game, and i keep having fun
-
May 27, 2023Best game I ever played. Highly recommend. Better than gran tourismo 4
-
May 28, 2023This is the best racing game ever created and nothing can change that. From soundtrack to gameplay is phenomenal. Wish it were remade.
-
May 31, 2023This game is the GOAT of all racing games! There is nothing that is more fun, addictive, and easy to jump straight into the action!
-
Jul 27, 2023One of the best games ever for when youre pissed off
dj stryker is pretty funny -
MarkT.Sep 9, 2004Not normally a racing fan, but this is great fun - marred only by a couple of things: a poor soundtrack (does anyone know how you can change that?) and the continual repetition of training videos (can they be turned off?)
-
-
BenC.Nov 25, 2004It sounds brilliant and the demo is so much fun. Cannot wait to get into town and buy it. The guy who gave it a 3 is an idiot (are you trying to say that Pro Evo 4 is rubbish!) Give me a break.
-
-
Mr.KilowattSep 17, 2004All of the really important factors, like playability, control, FUN they got right. My only complaint is the music and the very annoying DJ Striker. Turn off the music and you've got a perfect game.

IvanF.Sep 20, 2004The sense of speed depicted in Burnout 3: Takedown is magnificent. The graphics are beautiful and the crashes are rendered spectacularly. If there were less load times, the game would receive a 10.
-
-
JonnyB.Jul 25, 2006Not as great as the xbox version. The better xbox graphics make the game have a little more realistic looking crashes.

SPEEDDEVILSep 20, 2004This is an awesome game. The best racing game out now. But it doesnt feel like burnout anymore and quite long loading times. But still what a game.

JohnD.Nov 17, 2007This game is so near the perfect game... It's so much fun, but the only thing that starts to get frustrating is crashing into other cars (thank god this flaw was fixed in revenge).
-
-
Aug 12, 2010This by far the best Burnout game to ever come out. It has everything you could want: crashes, fast cars, and a large array of track variations. Overall, a very good game!
-
Nov 21, 2011Burnout 3 has been my first and last racing game, and not surprisingly my favorite racing game. All of the game modes are very fun and the World Tour took me forever to finish. So far I haven't had any problems with this game.
-
Apr 11, 2016Absolutely stunning. One of the best games there are on the PS2. It gives you a real sense of speed (even the slowest cars) and the fastest cars make you feel like they're doing 300! I don't see how you could improve on this game...but still let them try.
-
Oct 27, 2014I absolutely loved this game when I was younger and still love it today. It has great graphics for a 2004 game and has great racing mechanics and a truly satisfying mode where you get to blow up all cars in sight.

5 stars recomended !!!! -
JonnyS.Dec 10, 2004That guy who gave ti a 3, wot is he on man? he takes games way 2 seriously, this game is wiked trust.

-
BurnOutSep 30, 2004Mindless fun for a while.
-
-
LukeT.Oct 2, 2005Brilliant move from the previous games in the Burnout series. "Road Rage" mode is the best part of the game in my opinion and I do recommend going online.

ConradOct 3, 2004Exellent game. Few problems - DJ is crap, soundtrack is crap and everything gets a bit repetitive after a while.
-
-
SteveMSep 10, 2004Great game, shame I was forced to totally shut off the appauling music. Lazy Generation as its theme tune!? The loading times are extremely long also and the terrible "are you REALLY sure you want to quit/save?" rears its ugly head way too often. Apart from that, its good.

BenN.Nov 15, 2004Crash fm sucks, but the rest is brilliant.
-
-
May 14, 2012I really love this game its challenging and you can unlock bunch of cars. There is nothing better than crashing cars in other cars. In my option this is best driving game ever made.
-
Oct 3, 2015El mejor juego arcade de carreras , ostias como panes , accidentes brutales , todo un juegazo divertido sobretodo para pasar un buen rato entre amigos .
-
Aug 19, 2016La velocidad y la jugabilidad en este juego no tienen similar en la PS2, los gráficos geniales para la época y las variadas secciones por desbloquear hacen de este juego el mejor juego de carreras de la PS2 y uno de los mejores de la sexta generación.

May 23, 2021One of the best racing games ever! It is chaotic and fast paced.
Seeing how you wreck your opponent in crash cam is so satisfying. -
Aug 11, 2010I totally with you! Its good to see that majority people find this game exciting, thrilling, and majorly addictive. Though this game is really huge when u play the career mode. But gives u a bit of a challenge. Involves major crashes, High speeds, and hectic driving. It's a fantastic experience! whoever doesn't like this game. obviously. can't do it.
-
Oct 6, 2022this game was very difficult and the point cars had more stamina than in any other game in the series. it also has the worst songs in the entire series, and hard to get cars. no wonder my favorite is paradise because everything in it has been perfected
-
OcsirbS.Sep 10, 2004The single player ROCKS! However, EA totally screwed up multiplayer with disconnects every several minutes. They should have left the servers to M$.
-
-
WillM.Sep 16, 2004New graphics are nice. New cars are cool. Did they play BurnOut 1 & 2. Irritating. Not to be played again!! I'll wait for GT4 and play BurnOut 2.
-
-
TimApr 18, 2005I guess I'm the only one who found it more annoying than fun. The graphics are nice, but the physics are pure arcade, the DJ is irritating and it's mainly just focused on crashing and "boost." Overall, it seems designed for players who--physically or mentally--aren't old enough to drive.

Mar 24, 2016This is suck game for knuckleheads . bad graphics for 2004 , suck phisics . This is baddest criterion games game . Good soundtracks , but Burnout Legends soundtracks better than Burnout 3 Takedown .
-
Mar 5, 2022I Thing This Is An Ok Game But Compared To Midnight Club It Is Pretty Lacking
-

Apr 25, 2021This game is bad because it is a driving game, the jiggle physics are terrible.
-
May 25, 2023Its not GT2, Its not GT4 and its certainly not Revenge. Burnout Revenge is the peak of the franchise and everyone needs to know that
-
May 25, 2023Masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A strong candidate for the coveted Game of the Year award, Burnout 3: Takedown is one of the best arcade racing games to come out in years.
-
Cheat Code CentralI absolutely hate the music which is a mix of cheap-sounding alternative and punk.
-
Damn near flawless in almost every way shape and form. Brilliant visuals, ear pleasing audio, highly addictive game play, and enough modes and tracks to keep you busy for months on end.
