There are also certain race courses which combine sections of two or more "venues." USA: Downtownĭowntown is not only busy with traffic, it also has some deadly pillars in and along some streets supporting the elevated train (the "L") used for public transportation.Ī mostly-city venue, Waterfront has a scenic run along the seaside, but also numerous perpendicular turns, and a semi-suburban hill climb with many S-curves to test the player's drift-racing expertise. This guide only covers single-player offline gameplay.īack to Contents.= VENUES There are ten different "venues" in terms of settings in Burnout 3: Takedown. Strategy is especially important in the Crash Events, although there are often multiple strategies the player can employ to obtain a Gold Medal. However, the player's tactics and cunning can mean the difference between a Bronze Medal and a Gold Medal, and the difference between First Place and Last Place. Gameplay is relatively simple and straightforward. This game guide is more of a strategy guide than anything else. While the action in previous incarnations of the series have been fast-paced, Burnout 3: Takedown allows for virtually no reflex action the beautiful countrysides and cityscapes are simply a blur once an event begins, meaning that the player must learn to work almost 100,000,000% upon instinct. Burnout 3: Takedown steps this up several more levels, with over 170 different events spanning the globe. Remember: Plagiarism in ANY form is NOT tolerated!!!!!īack to Contents.= INTRODUCTION The Burnout series has been known for high-speed, high-damage action, whether in the crash scenarios or in actual racing action.

The advantage of this fictional city is that it's been custom built to drive in, and the corners, ramps, short cuts and so on that are littered liberally around mean it's always a fun place to be.Īs long as realism isn't your thing, Burnout Paradise City is the perfect driving playground.Burnout 3: Takedown: GAME GUIDE by Jamie Stafford/Wolf Feather Initial Version 1.0 = JOIN THE FEATHERGUIDES E-MAIL LIST: To be the first to know when my new and updated guides are released, join the FeatherGuides E-mail List. Visually, the cars look great, the damage modeling is just what you would want, and the city is wonderful to look at, at night or day. Some people may find the lack of defined structure a pain - you are never told to do anything, just enter competitions at your leisure, but you soon get into the rhythm of the game. Alternatively, you can just drive around the enormous open world of Paradise City. There are numerous challenges from straight races to Road Rage, where the objectives is to takedown a number of other racers before you destroy your vehicle and Marked Man, where you have to reach a destination before pursuers destroy you. This is all about adrenalin fueled, over the top, and psychotically dangerous racing. Crashes, as fans of Burnout will tell you, are not done better anywhere else, and they are well integrated into races (after a big crash you have a running start!). The physics are convincing while the handling of the cars is forgiving enough to permit long drifts and ridiculous jumps and crashes. If you demand realistic handling and simulation from your racing games, Burnout Paradise is not for you. These criticisms can't detract from what is an absolutely fantastic arcade racing game.
