About this game

Burnout 3: Takedown is a single-player and multiplayer arcade-style racing game.

The game places players in high-speed street races across traffic-filled roads and cityscapes, where victory depends not only on speed but also on aggression.

Races are designed around the concept of “takedowns,” which reward players for ramming and wrecking rival cars.

Each successful takedown adds to a boost meter, enabling prolonged bursts of speed and encouraging a risk-versus-reward style of play.

The single-player campaign features World Tour mode, a progression system that spans multiple continents and event types.

Players earn medals and unlock new cars, events, and tracks by completing challenges.

Over 70 vehicles are available across 12 classes, ranging from compact cars and sports models to exotic supercars, buses, and semi trucks.

Tracks are spread across more than 40 locations in the United States, Europe, and Asia, each filled with shortcuts, alternate routes, and heavy traffic.

Combat racing is reinforced with the Aftertouch mechanic, which allows players to steer their wrecked car during slow motion immediately after a crash.

This feature can be used to push other vehicles into obstacles, chain together additional wrecks, or secure a last-second takedown.

Modes such as Road Rage challenge players to destroy as many rivals as possible before time runs out or their vehicle is totaled, while Burning Lap and Eliminator emphasize precision driving and survival under pressure.

Crash Mode, first introduced in Burnout 2, returns in expanded form.

Players launch their car into intersections packed with traffic and pickups, aiming to cause the highest monetary damage possible.

New icons on the road alter outcomes: multipliers increase scores, explosions trigger chain reactions, and cash bonuses add to the tally.

Unlike standard races, Crash Mode focuses entirely on orchestrating spectacular pileups rather than finishing first.

Multiplayer options include split-screen and online pl

About PlayStation 2

The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.

Gamevaro tracks Burnout 3: Takedown for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Burnout 3: Takedown to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2004.
