The goal of Crash mode is to create the largest amount of monetary damage in a multi-vehicle collision at a junction full of traffic. The Crash mode from Burnout 2: Point of Impact returns but has been enhanced to accommodate the Aftertouch feature. Cars continuously spawn in Road Rage so that there are always vehicles to perform Takedowns on. Road Rage is a new game mode in which the player must achieve a certain number of Takedowns in a preset time limit or before their vehicle is totalled. In Impact Time, the Aftertouch mechanic can be used to manoeuvre the wrecked car chassis into an opponent to get a Takedown, which acts as a recovery move by negating the penalty of crashing. During the crash sequence, a slow-motion mode called Impact Time can be activated. When the player crashes or is taken out by an opponent, boost is lost and a bonus boost segment is withdrawn. Ramming opponents will cause them to behave more aggressively in return their level of hostility is indicated by a coloured arrow above their vehicle.
Each one fills the boost meter and can provide an additional boost segment, causing the meter to extend up to four times its initial size. A Takedown involves shunting opposing vehicles until they crash. The quickest method for earning boost is a Takedown-a central mechanic introduced in this instalment of the series. Boost can be used immediately in Burnout 3, unlike previous Burnout games which required the boost meter to be full. During a race, boost, which is earned by acts of reckless driving such as drifting around corners, near misses with traffic, and driving in oncoming lanes, can be used to rapidly increase a car's speed. The Single Race mode pits the player against five AI opponents in a single or multiple lap race. The game features standard circuit races which take place on carriageways and city streets populated with traffic. A Takedown can fill and extend the boost meter, enabling the player to drive faster.īurnout 3: Takedown is a racing video game with arcade-style gameplay that emphasises dangerous and fast-paced driving. Takedowns are performed by slamming rivals until they crash. A successor to Takedown, titled Burnout Revenge, was released in September 2005.

Over a year later, EA acquired Criterion and the Burnout series their high expectations for Burnout 3: Takedown was influential in the acquisition. EA later approached Criterion about reuniting and partnering on a game, and so Criterion began developing Burnout 3: Takedown in June 2003 on the condition that EA would not interfere in the creative process. However, disagreements over the game's creative direction led to its cancellation and falling out between the two companies.

Each game variant is featured in a single-player campaign mode called World Tour, which serves as the primary method for unlocking new and faster cars. Aside from standard circuit races, the game features modes focused on performing Takedowns on rival vehicles and causing monetary damage at a junction occupied with traffic. Takedowns work in conjunction with the boost system by filling up and extending the boost meter. The central mechanic introduced in Burnout 3 is Takedowns, which allow players to slam their opponents until they crash. A staple of the series is the use of boost, earned through risky driving, to rapidly increase a car's speed.
It is the third instalment in the Burnout series, which is characterised by fast-paced arcade racing.
