Within Race mode you get a shedload of options including Single race, Tournament, Lap Eliminator, Burning Lap and Road Rage to name but a few. We know it sounds a bit Spinal Tap, but Burnout 3 is louder and faster than before – how could it not go up to 11? Game modes included this time around include Risk and Reward, Crash, Race and Online. More cars, more speed, more oncoming traffic, and more – many more – gameplay options. How exactly could Criterion improve on the major step forward that Point of Impact was from the original Burnout? Easy – more of the same, with the emphasis on 'more'. Burnout 3: Takedown hits the shelves, metaphorically knocking other early September 2004 releases out of the way. The bottom line is that it is here at last. Just think, if Burnout had remained with the unfortunate Acclaim, Burnout 3 may not have made an appearance.

Nothing can replicate the euphoric-feeling of playing this colossal game with these great tunes colliding in the background whilst smashing competitors into overhanging billboards, the soundtrack holds up its end of the bargain valiantly and remains among the all-time elite video game soundtracks ever produced.Thank heavens that the all-powerful EA claimed Burnout series creator Criterion for itself, snapping up the developer in a wise move in early 2004. A tricky balancing act at times, as the (seemingly) ICP-inspired "Time and Time Again" (from Chronic Future) shares disc-space alongside Mudmen's Celtic-fused and aggressively engaging "Animal", this album never flies off the cliff at top-speed. There's variety throughout, and immediately on the contrary there's a steady consistency maintained. "Orpheus" by Ash lights-up this compilation, while Rise Against present what could very well be their finest song in "Paper Wings".

There are a couple of hangnails in the form of Franz Ferdinand's meandering "This Fire" and Finger Eleven's redundant "Stay in Shadow", though they're both decidedly mediocre enough to listen through till better attempts inevitably appear (such as The Von Bondies' "C'mon, C'mon" along with Reggie and the Full Effect's "Congratulations, Smack And Katy", which respectively proceed those previously-noted clunkers). Autopilot Off leave quite the impression with their outstanding title-track "Make a Sound", possibly the most underrated of the featured bands, eventually there's "Everyone Alive" from Local H, another group worthy of a helluva lot more recognition than currently held. Obviously the most popular of the featured artists is My Chemical Romance with "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", followed by Ramones with their classic "I Wanna Be Sedated", along with Yellowcard's "Breathing", then Fall Out Boy's "Reinventing the Wheel to Run Myself Over" each of these aforementioned tracks are all-around excellent in their own right, and there's so much more to this collection than just these heavy-hitters (thankfully). There are so many phenomenally-catchy and compelling cuts featured within that it's nearly criminal to mention some without the others.
It's all the better for it.Īlike most extended compilation albums, it is an incredibly difficult endeavor to even wager what the best singular song is. Teenage-angst and high vocal pitches abound, this could very well be the most 2004 record ever produced. "Addictive" can be a keyword to throw around in regards to this marvelous video game, though the soundtrack similarly stands-out as something truly special as well. Launching vehicles off of ramps and swirling them into oncoming traffic was a curious (and wholly cathartic) experience. Review Summary: A legendary collection of tracks for what could (arguably) be the greatest video game of all-time.īurnout 3: Takedown is (quite easily) the most destructive, arcade-style racing game ever made.
