The fastest, most crazy PS2 racer ever!!

User Rating: 9 | Burnout 3: Takedown (Dutch) PS2
Burnout Takedown is all about risk and reward and taking down other racers! The game gives you lots of different race types and crashing events to keep you busy for a while. Along the way you will unlock cars, special events and other stuff. The game is divided in 3 main sections (USA, Europe, Far East) and each includes a lot of different races and events (170+ in total). Raming into other racers to make them crash is so addictive that most of the times I wasn't even paying attention on what position I was in.. or how many laps was left. Whenever you crash your own car, you can toggle a slow-mo mode in which you can stear you wreck and try to crash into other racers... it is a nice feature and works well in tight spaces.

The graphics are excellent and the sense of speed is awesome. I haven't noticed any framerate issues or similar problems. This game is a technical marvel considering the PS2 hardware.

The sound effects are great but the awesome soundtrack is the highlight. A lot of great tunes that fits well with the crazyness that goes onscreen. There's a DJ that talks once in a while and he can be repetitive... especially if you keep trying the same race over and over again to get the gold medal.

The gameplay is incredibly tight and there's a lot of stuff to do.. so this game will keep you occupied for a long while. More so if you wish to acheive all the gold medals and special unlockables.

This game needs to be checked out! It's great!
