Manufacturer's Description
Burnout 3 takes the series even further, now featuring a unique "crash and burn" racing concept and a one-of-a-kind special effects engine that delivers spectacular visuals. The intensity heats up as players race, and often crash, their way through oncoming traffic in an attempt to claim the top spot. Boasting multiple single-player, multiplayer and online crash and race modes, Burnout 3 offers players the opportunity to race through busy city streets and be rewarded for taking risks that result in heart-pounding action and electrifying crashes.

Customer Reviews

Average!
I started off playing this game thinking it was much better than Burnout 2. The takedowns and road rage races absolutely blew me away at first. But the more i played this game i realised how repetitive and annoying it became, doing time-trial races for no reason when you'd rather do the damn race itself!!! And with NO MAP or sense of practice or test seesion i was having to do each race about 40 times until i finally got a gold medal.


Overall this is a disappointing and average successor to Burnout 2.

Pure fun - an immensely enjoyable game

Single player or two player, both are incredibly enjoyable as you drive cars fast, smashing into your opponents on the way - sound like my idea of fun! For those looking for a less serious driving game than Gran Turismo this is perfect and as a great game for everyone, i'm pretty sure even people who aren't that into videogames will like Burnout.

Taking a closer look at the 'career mode' aspect of the game, this is where you go through the various areas, unlocking new stuff all the time. There's so much to do so expect to be playing for a long time. The graphics are some of the best on the PS2 and you get all kinds of cool lighting and flame effects as you go about one of the major goals in the game - getting more boosts.

You've also got the crash levels which is an awesome concept where your car starts near a busy junction and you have to cause the biggest most spectacular crash possible. This part of the game is truly addictive.

In Burnout you're rewarded for driving dangerously, a practice that makes for a thrill-ride of an experience and as you use your boosts you get faster and faster, only adding to the excitement of the race. All in all, in an immensely satisfying game - perfect for people who like to go through trying to get 100% completion. I love the DJ voiceover's as well and the soundtrack is ace - top tunes from Ash and Franz Ferdinand.

Just as appealing is the multiplayer mode. There's awide variety of game modes to keep you entertained and a lot of the challenge is picking the right car - the balance between speed and weight is vital. This part of the game is great as you can just sit down and blast away with a friend, it gets really competitive as you struggle for the most takedowns and seeing the cars get totally destroyed in slowmo is great fun.

top notch
great game, great fun and lasts ages. i'm still racing it now and i've had it for a couple of years i think. i don't think that burnout revenge can possibly improve this that much, yet i haven't gone out and bought it so i can't pass judgement. this is well worth getting if all you've got up to is burnout 2 or below.
