Poor old Acclaim, the game that could have possibly changed their fortunes is now in the ranks of EA games who now have both the need for speed series and the Burnout series. chances are they may well eliminate all competition and get Juiced aswell. Anyways...

 

I arrived back at home this morning and saw sat waiting on my pc desk 3 shiny boxes. I picked them up and opened them to see shiny discs of some horse riding game (ias this some sort of joke), Conflict Vietnam and of course Burnout 3. they just turned up magically wihout payment.

 

So anyway Im just about to play Burnout 3 and after I have, I shall be back on here to tell you all what I think of it

Short answer: It's terrific fun.

 

Long answer: Putting actual racing mostly in the bin & concentrating mostly on Crashes & battering opponents cars makes for one of the most fun car games in a long time. Needs to be played with a mate (or better still online) for full value though.

 

Incidently I have unlocked the 'Bus' for Crash mode & it's the most fun I have ever had in a game crashing it.

Sadly my copy doesnt work ive since found out. have to go order another one now
Thats a pity but it will be worth the wait / money, its an excellent game.
My only gripe is that its very easy, but thats EA esque. And it doesn't negate from the fun in the slightest.

Yes it is a tad easy, I have had it for 5 days & have 30 gold medals & half the cars unlocked, but that doesn't take away from the fun.

 

I just broke my Takedown record today BTW, 57 takedowns in one race (oh yeah).

Money isnt a factor really as it will only cost me about 3 pound for a replacement copy, the wait will be a few days. I wasnt too fussed about it int he first place but i wouldnt mind playing it. Sounds a decent game and the reviews seem to think so. I dunno Ive become less of a fan of these arcadey type racers less since i got NFS-underground which really wasnt that great. It was too dark and all the tracks looked the same.

 

i did love Burnout 2's mode where you have to try and get a set amount of money in damage by crashing in little scenarios but the races were a little lackluster at times, especially on your own. Saying that it wasnt exactly fun with friends either as i beat them everytime because it was so damned easy after playing Gran Turismo 3 for months on end (which i still havent been bothered to complete, 90% finished is how its staying).

This game is not even remotly arcady in my humble opinion, most of the game modes dont even have a finish line, you just crash or takedown opponents. Yes there is straight racing modes as well but they feel secondary this game is more Demolition Derby than GT.
Excellent game...I enjoyed the other Burnout games a lot, But this is much better than both in my opinion. They've created a much better racing game but also managed to keep the crash modes great...I love the takedowns during races, Especially the signature takedowns.
I've played it on two player, loadsa fun. I'd definitely reccommend it from that perspective :xyx
I have been playing this for about 3 days now, and i must say it is a fantastically fun game. First of all i wasn't sure that they could ikprove on 1 and 2, but it looks better, it feels better, and the Takedown feature is astounding and great fun. The cars are looking flawless, and the variations are good as well. There isnt much else to say except this is an amazing game!
