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 - 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. To sum up Burnout 3, AWESOME springs to mind. Get it and if you have no mates don't worry, single player is AWESOME too.
