Which Burnout is best Burnout?

It's a total toss up between Takedown and Revenge.

I'm not a big fan of burnout3. I like Burnout 1 and 2 better. then burnout legends on psp. Burnout Paradise is the best on xbox360, but it's not a legacy game.

Paradise was boring imo revenge on the other hand was really exciting.

Burnout 3 by far. It's more challenging and engaging than Revenge, I thought the Traffic Checking was kinda ridiculous at times. Paradise was OK, but really nothing like Burnout 3.

I've already finished Burnout Legends on the PSP, is it worth playing Burnout 3 after this? I wasn't too keen on Legends, and I gather it's an amalgamation of content from the first 3 Burnout console games.Nismology

Well, I haven't played Legends, but it's hard to go wrong with Burnout 3. Give it a shot, you'll probably enjoy it.

Burnout 3

I vote "Burnout 3: Takedown" for the PS2. It's my first experience with the series and it's a really solid racing game + it's a lot of fun which is also important.

Burnout 3, thought it was pretty impressive and had the ideas for it

I haven't played part 3 enough to say if it was really good or not. But I've played 1 and 2 enough. Part 2 for me was the pinnacle of the series and is nearly perfect. I'd give it a 9.5/10. The graphics are pleasant, the controls are good but the sense of speed is freakin amazing! I mean you literally get sucked into the game while playing. 2 player mode was nothing short of brilliance either. I just wish that you could play with more than 2 players. Crash Mode was great though. Speeding to the center of a bunch of moving cars in traffic has never been so freeing. I haven't played the game in a couple of years but it is amazing. Trust me. I have heard good things about 3 too though.

EDIT: Oh and 1 was alright. Nothing really stood out about it to me and it seems as though it was just a platform for part 2 to be created. It didn't leave much of an impression on me and I wouldn't even bother with it truthfully. Part 2 on the other hand, you have to play. Hopefully, you have friends to play and take turns with but one player mode is also fun.

Burnout 3 by far. Many great memories playing that game. Just recently played and completed Burnout Paradise, however it didn't capture my attention like Burnout 3 did. Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of having to find and drive over to every single event on the map (unless there is a quciker way that I don't know about). Free-roam to me just doesn't work in a game like Burnout. Just give me my options for races and just let me complete the events. No need to complicate things by making something as trivial as a event select an easter egg hunt.

Also, it felt like Paradise was more constricted area wise. In Burnout 3, you travel all around the globe participating in every type of event available whereas Paradise just exists in one big location. This location however, became "smaller" and more "familiar" after you've driven around the blocks over and over again. Objectively, if we were to actually compare the scale of the two games Paradise overall is bigger than all of 3's events, but I still like the feeling that 3 gave you of traveling in more than one location on the map.

Another thing I liked about Burnout 3 was that afterburner takedown (or it might have been called something else, I'm not sure). I liked the ability to slow down time after my crash so that I could take down even more vehicles and still be in the game. Felt it was kind of lame that they took that out of Burnout Paradise. It was definitely a step back.

I plan on buying the next Burnout that comes out, however, I hope that they go back to their roots a bit with this one and bring back the things that made 3 an enjoyable experience instead of continuing in the vein of Paradise.

Paradise is a good game, but there are some things about it which let it down in my opinion, such as a lack of a "retry" option, meaning you could end up MILES away from anywhere.Ashley_wwe

Actually, a Retry option was added in a patch later, but it's still annoying that it wasn't there in the first place.

My favorite Burnout game is Burnout Revenge for the 360. I logged countless hours into the game trying to unlock and achieve everything and it just never got old to me. It was extremely fun, solid action, and still had the great arcade feel that has made the burnout series great.

I agree with alot of the people who were not a fan of Paradise. By no means is it a bad game, but the open world thing just turned me off. I really hated when I would lose a race and then would have to drive all the way to the starting point to retry it.
