  Good Points: Excellent races. Crashes are the absolute best in the gaming world and the road rage is a riot of fun, exciting as it gets. The cars are good and the tracks wonderful. Graphics rate high on my scale.
  For the time spent it is a somewhat good game to get involved in a good race or road rage match.
  I like to earn the cars in flat out burn up. I find the dilemma of a crash for the X4 and the good explosive crash breaker to be addicting.

  
  

  Bad Points: Now here we have the problem CALLED MAP LAG. Freezing while it loads the map EUROPE AND ASIA, longer tracks seem to have bad spots in the download to the hard drive. I hear my Xbox trying to catch up to this race I am in.
  Cars appearing out of no place after a freeze and the track displacement so a nice first lead is a face full of car or wall. It is the stutter in this game that makes one want to tear out the disk and snap it in half. In one race it froze up so many times I sat wondering if it was my machine or the game. So got another copy and low behold it does the same rotten thing. This game would be the boldest, fun, screaming fun filled race car game on the market if not for the horrible track freeze. Maybe a download to my Xbox hard drive would cure the delay I have experienced? Who knows but if they got that problem fixed this game would ROCK MY XBOX, not to mention be a must have for all gamers who like intense race games.

  
  

  General comments: It is worth the hard spots but one must win the races to get the events to unlock. I can't do that with a track that freezes up. I have raced the same race freezing up time and time again with two new copies of this game. I like it and will keep it because it is a good game. But heaven help me it makes me mad as it gets when the loss is from the frozen screen.

  Burnout 3: Takedown is very fast paced and will keep you at the edge of your seat as you are storming fast all of your rivals. The crash mode is absolutely amazing where you will be ranked higher the BIGGER the crash and the more mayhem you conjure up. As well as that, if you get about 8 cars included in your massive crash, you can self-destruct your car to add that lttle more destruction.

  Burnout 3: Takedown is a must own game for any self respecting XBox owner in my opinion. The basic premise is that of any driving game, win races, however in Burnout 3 you are actively encorouraged to take out your rivals by making them collide with walls, buses, trams anything really. There is lots of depth to the game with different style races (my favourite's gotta be the road rage levels, take down as many people as you can), signature take downs, awards and newspaper headlines to collect. ...

  Burnout 3: Takedown is a definite hit, despite that fact that the original was far from great and the second game was a little better. This however is in a league of its own. Cancel Need for Speed Underground 2, juiced etc and buy this - a steal at £25.

  Burnout 3: Takedown is fast - very fast! Getting behind the wheel of a car is like a rollercoaster ride - fast and furious.
  
  Visually the game is impressive - cars & backgrounds both look good, plus crash damage on cars also looks excellent.
  
  Burnout 3's soundtrack is full of fast-paced rock music - complementing the driving, - but DJ Striker for the most part just irritates!
  
  As for the gameplay it's fantastic - all modes are enjoyable and offer gamers and lasting desire to keep coming b ...

  Burnout 3: Takedown - It's amazing. True brute racer action with excellent visuals combined with that beautiful thing called Dolby Digital and most of all superb gameplay. The driving simulation is somewhat to be desired but at the end of the day who cares about car handling and physics when you're boosting along at at least a million miles an hour. It's frighteningly good. The multiplayer option is commendable too. Friends can play in two's and fours and via XBOX live up to eight players. ...
