Such a perfect game I never got that 100% though I got to 99% anyone else?
Burnout 3: Takedown
Game » consists of 9 releases. Released Sep 07, 2004
The third installment of the Burnout series of high-octane street racing games introduces online multiplayer, licensed soundtracks, and a revamped car combat system where players can shunt opposing racers into crashes for high-reward "takedowns".
Best Burnout Game?
Same. That F1 race in Asia is a real killer. In general though, I do believe that Burnout 3 is the pinnacle of the series.
I would attest that Burnout 3 is my favorite as well, but then again I don't have a lot of experience with the series even though I am a huge fan. I've actually only played the original Burnout, which is far different from the beast it is today, and Burnout 3, so I don't actually have contributive my opinion can be in this discussion.
Burnout Revenge would be my favourite ONLY because of the memories and good times I've had playing with my friends. I will admit that Traffic Checking was a questionable addition to the game, but there's no denying that it did change up the formula of Burnout, and helped to introduce new players to the series.
Definatly
my profile has 484 hours on it, thats from October 2004 to Present Day
Paradise was good, but just not enough to beat the king
I think Revenge was a better game...the tracks in that are still the best in the series. But Takedown is great for a real challenge. The hardest one if you ask me.
Until Paradise gets a restart button, well, it's definitely the best dust collector in the series.
I'm torn between Burnout 2 and 3. Both are excellent games in their own right, but the way the soundtrack dynamically distorts based on your speed in the second game just does wonders for sucking me in. The advanced crash mechanics of the third game are pretty darn awesome though and whenever I go between either game, I always feel like I'm missing something. I consider both games absolute must owns for fans of arcade racing games, with the one weak link being the rubber band AI (which never really bothered me TOO much in either game).
A few months ago I picked up Burnout Dominator, hearing that it was like a different evolution of Burnout 2 than Burnout 3 was, but I've yet to play it. Looking forward to having the time to sit down and spend a few days with it whenever I can get away from work.
