But Burnout 3 was where the series really nailed its stride.īehold, the introduction of the Takedown. Burnout 2, released a year later, gave us the addictive Crash Mode, where enormous pileups and maximum carnage were the name of the game. While even modern car games continually disappoint with weak damage models, Burnout 1 was delivering heart-stopping collisions at the very dawn of the PS2/Xbox era. The Burnout series has long been known for two facets: Imaginary car makes and models, and ridiculous crashes.
Ultimately, I was best at Burnout Dominator, but my all-time favourite game was Takedown. Each game has its own charm to it, its own unique spin on what makes this Burnout game a little different than the rest.
The Burnout series, which I was introduced to by Revenge, was one of the only game franchises I religiously played growing up.
