Burnout 3: Takedown is an arcade-style racing game for the PlayStation 2 that emphasizes speed, aggression, and spectacle. Developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts, the game shifts the focus of traditional racing toward high-risk driving and destructive crashes, rewarding players for taking chances and forcing opponents off the road.

Races take place across a variety of international tracks set in urban streets, highways, and industrial zones, all designed to encourage close-quarters competition. The signature “Takedown” system allows players to earn boosts by slamming rivals into traffic, barriers, or other obstacles, creating a fast, momentum-driven loop where offense is just as important as clean racing. Boost management becomes a central strategy, pushing players to balance speed with control in dense traffic.

Beyond standard racing events, Burnout 3 includes a range of modes that highlight its crash-focused design. Road Rage challenges players to score takedowns within time limits, while Crash mode turns intersections into puzzle-like arenas where the goal is to cause as much damage as possible. A robust progression system unlocks new cars and tracks as players advance.

Burnout 3: Takedown is widely regarded as a defining arcade racer of the PlayStation 2 era, known for its polished mechanics, energetic presentation, and focus on pure, high-speed chaos.
