Amazing entry into the burnout series. It got rid of that stupid timer that was in the first two games, and made the racing mechanics a lot better. An amazing element they added to this game that ultimately made the series so much more fun was takedowns. You can smash into your opponents to make them crash. The burnout games have always played like arcade racers, and this game doesn’t stray far from that formula at all. In fact aside from crazy taxi, it is the most console arcade racer you could possibly play. The only real problem I had with this game was there were not a ton of car paint colors to choose from. Besides that, amazing game and still holds up really well. 4.7 out of 5 stars.
