Speed is encapsulated in Burnout 3 like it was meant for no other game, Imagine, doing some absurd speed down a highway, dodging traffic like raindrops, each vehicle raising the climactic bar, then when you smash into that damned van effectively breaking your hot streak, something inside you just erupts and you can't help but emit some sort of physical reaction whether it be yelling or hitting someone. The thing this game does so well is get you excited and that's something always welcome, especially amongst company.
As far as presentation goes, Burnout 3 is no slouch. Graphics are brilliant. The tracks sport good looking design and variety and cars also rip apart quite nicely. The audio department pulls it's weight too as the sounds of burning rubber, grinding metal and head on collisions satisfy that of a game based solely on car crashes. Whats more, there's a customisable sound track option.
The games almost too easy to just pick up and have fun with.
Go play it.
