It appears as though EA is going through Criterion's catalogue of games and giving them a fresh coat of paint. However, Burnout Paradise was recently remastered, something fans had been crying out for years.įurthermore, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was also remastered last year. hope you enjoyed it and got nostalgic as well :D 0:00 - Burnout 0:28 - Burnout 2: Point of Impact 1:01 - Burnout 3: Takedown.
With Criterion's involvement with the Need for Speed series and there not being a new Burnout game in ten years, this seemed like a pipe dream. In addition, there were the classic race and time attack modes, but even these were special, as the environments you raced around were some of the most varied and detailed available at the time.īurnout 3 is that good at encapsulating the mid-2000s that it could be used to show what this era was like in the future. 2004 Honda Civic Type R 2002 Renault Clio 172 2002 Acura RSX Type S 1998 BMW M Coup 2002 Opel Astra OPC 2003 Volkswagen R32 2004 Renault Megane RS 1998 Toyota Celica GT Four 2000 Nissan Silvia Spec R 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer EvolutFord Mustang GT. Available for PS2, Xbox, GameCube and PC. There was real skill involved here, it wouldn't be out of place to take an hour getting a high score on a stage. Burnout 3 if Criterion had the audacity to allow licensed cars to be messed around with. You basically had to play ten pin bowling, but instead of pins, you had cars and you had to crash your ride in a specific way to get the gold medal.
Crash mode was the most gloriously ridiculous game mode in Burnout 3 though. Upon release, Burnout 3: Takedown received critical acclaim from the video game press becoming one of the highest-rated racing video games of all time and is.
