    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.

    Absolutely 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.

    Just a fun game well worth the money. Drive, crash, jump out of your seat, laugh, and takedown all your opponents in an excellent game from EA and Criterion.

    GT4? NFS? Test Drive? What are those? Burnout is the only game to play.

    High speed chaos probably only outmatched by the upcoming sequel Burnout: Revenge.

    A brilliantly put-together game. the graphics are just amazing, and the sense of speed is unparalleled in the whole wide world of gaming. you couldnt go this fast in other games, even if you were falling from space attached to divers weights and a rocket. :-)

    Best ever!! Racing has never been more fun!! This game is an adrenaline rush like none other!! Forget about every other game ever made because this is the best game of all time!! I love this game!! It's even better than my all-time favorite game - "The Legend of Zelda: Nigger Beater In Green." If you believe in white supremacy, you will own this game. And if it gets too hard,Best ever!! Racing has never been more fun!! This game is an adrenaline rush like none other!! Forget about every other game ever made because this is the best game of all time!! I love this game!! It's even better than my all-time favorite game - "The Legend of Zelda: Nigger Beater In Green." If you believe in white supremacy, you will own this game. And if it gets too hard, just make your black african porch monkey slave nigger beat some tracks for you. Then tease him with watermelon and white women until he passes out chasing his tail around in circles. White power.… Expand

    Burnout 3 should be renamed to Gran Need for Destruction Derby. The best bits of all those games crammed into one screaming rush that will leave you panting. Be careful however, you may feel inclined to kill any siblings who knock out the console power cord.

    It gains the sense of incredible speed that no other game even touches and the takedowns just are the most fun i have ever had on any video game. this game is possibly the best game i have ever played.

    Crazy!! Awesome arcade-style racing, smashing traffic, takedown rivals, I love the concept. A little frustrating feature such as that annoying training but the gameplay easily compensates. This game is a hit, literally!!

    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.

    I 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.
