Burnout 3: Takedown for PlayStation 2 (Pre-Owned)
Burnout 3: Takedown rewards you for driving rivals into walls, and its sense of speed still holds up on a PS2. Crash Mode alone, where you plow into busy intersections for the biggest pileup, can take over an evening.

Takedowns fill the boost bar
Criterion built Burnout 3 around aggression. Driving into oncoming traffic, drafting, near misses and catching air all fill your boost meter, and slamming a rival into a barrier or a bus earns a Takedown that extends it. After you crash, Aftertouch slows time so you can steer your wreck into a car behind you for an Aftertouch Takedown. The World Tour spreads races, Road Rage events and Burning Laps across courses in the United States, Europe and the Far East, while DJ Stryker on Crash FM calls out your best moments.
Crash Mode and split-screen
Crash Mode is a puzzle of its own. You launch into a junction full of traffic, try to cause as much damage as possible, then trigger a Crashbreaker explosion to throw your car back into the chaos. Power-ups hidden on each junction multiply the score or add cash. Two players can race or battle in split-screen, and a party mode passes the controller around the room for turn-based pileups. The EA Trax soundtrack includes Yellowcard, Franz Ferdinand and The Ramones.
Before you buy a used Burnout 3 disc
Scratches on a PS2 disc matter most when they circle the disc, since those follow the data track. Look for cracks near the center ring and warping from heat. Burnout 3 saves to a PS2 memory card, so you will need one with free space. EA's online service for the PS2 version is no longer running, but every offline mode, including split-screen, still works. The case and manual are included only if the listing title says so.
Questions about this game
How does Burnout 3: Takedown play on PlayStation 2?
It is an arcade racer where aggressive driving earns boost. You win by staying fast and taking rivals out with Takedowns, then use Aftertouch after a crash to wreck the next car. Crash Mode adds score attack junctions built around huge pileups.
Does it work on every PS2?
It runs on original and Slim PS2 consoles from North America. The disc is region locked to North American (NTSC-U/C) systems, so it will not boot on Japanese or European PS2 consoles.
Can I still play online?
No. EA's online service for the PS2 version is no longer running. The World Tour, single events, Crash Mode and two-player split-screen all work offline, and they hold most of what the game offers.
What is included?
The listing is for the Burnout 3: Takedown disc. The case, manual and a memory card are included only if the listing title says so. A PS2 memory card is needed to save your World Tour progress.
