Racing, with an exciting new twist.
Why did I like it so much? Isn't it just another racing game? Well it is racing, but the main part of the game is to "Takedown" the other racers during the race by making them crash, not blowing them up with rockets or anything like that, but by literally bumping into them until they crash. By crashing your opponents you gain nitro, which you can use to go faster and win the race, but be warned, the AI can do the exact same to you, but that is what really makes the game enjoyable.
The graphics are great; you actually feel you are going super fast when you use nitro because everything blurs slightly and the "takedown cams" are cool because everything goes into slow motion when you force another car into a crash or you yourself crash. The race levels are well done and not tool long but if you get tire of racing the campaign there are some other stuff you can do like "Crash Mode" where you basically have to crash yourself into a busy rush hour street to create the biggest pileup possible.
The only downside to the game I found was the terrible music selection (it's like they found the most whiny most obscure/unknown punk-rock-emo- bands out there and decided it would be cool race music to listen to) and the most retarded/annoying radio DJ in the world (thank heavens you can turn him off!) but 360 owners can easily solve this problem by putting on their own favorite tunes.
All in all both gamers that LOVE racing and non-racing gamers can enjoy Burnout 3: Takedown.
