Burnout 3: Takedown was amazing when it released all the way back in September 2004. Does it hold up now? I hope you enjoy this 2024 review. Thanks for watching!

Still holds up to this day, been playing it at 4x resolution with various widescreen patches and 60fps crash mode on my Steam Deck. It looks amazing and barely aged a day.

On PCSX2 you don't even need any widescreen patches, the game supports native widescreen! One of the few to do so. Just need to turn off fast boot and set 16:9 in the bios.

This game is still age very well and it's my childhood game too. Great sense of speed, great graphics and great soundtrack (Lazy generation, best theme song for this game). Probably the best Burnout game besides Burnout Revenge and Paradise. Only time will tell if we can get a new Burnout game nowadays.

Fantastic review brother. I needed convincing to emulate/ download on Steam, you gave me the motivation and reduced my sense of anxiety of committing time and money towards a game. Originally I wanted NFS Rivals/ Hot Pursuit, until I stumbled upon your review. I have already played 'Most Wanted'. But I didn't want to play the same style again.
@RetroRangerReviews882 ай бұрын
What were you going to download off steam? NFS rivals and Hot Pursuit are still different from most wanted, so if you got one of those it would still be awesome! But burnout 3 is awesome too

Also yes, this game emulates perfect now. I also think if you try and 100% this game and aren't super sweaty about it, you can easily spend 30 hours playing this on a single playthrough 100%. Super worth it for $12 AUD. Great review.

This reminds me of a game I used to play on N64 emulator called Hot Wheels Turbo Racing but with graphics that look more like GTA. Would be cool to see you do a review and comparison in a future video, HWTR was from 1999 so would be interesting to see how it holds up and if there's a noticeable jump in game quality in the five years between them. I'm not super familiar with the range of racing games available so the Hot Wheels one is probably just another branding reskin of existing games of the time, but it was still pretty fun to play in the late 00s/early 10s so I'm curious how it compares to whats out there :)

I played for the first time recently, I was expecting a lot considering that people praise this game so much. I was disappointed. The game wants to make you go fast, but the streets are constantly full of traffic. As the cars get fasters, it gets harder and harder not to crash all the time. It seems like non sensical design to me.
