However, Bruce McMillan from EA Canada later visited Criterion at their offices in Guildford with a plea for the two companies to find a way to work together somehow. While bouncing around a few ideas for a stunt based Need for Speed title, tentatively called "Need for Speed Split Second", the Criterion team stopped working with Electronic Arts.
DevelopmentĬriterion self-cancelled a reboot of the skateboarding game "Skate or Die" which it had been developing for over twelve months.
The game also features local and online multiplayer (online services were shut down on 15 April 2010). These events are featured in the Burnout World Tour mode, where players progress through numerous events to unlock hidden tracks and vehicles. In Crash mode, players drive their vehicle straight into an intersection with the goal of causing as many vehicles as possible to become involved the wreckage, with the player accumulating 'Crash dollars' for the damage caused. There are four main styles of events Races, which are general races to the finish line against other racers Time Attack, which tasks players with beating a course within a time limit Road Rage, in which players must perform as many takedowns as possible against computer opponents without being taken down themselves and Crash, a unique mode that makes use of the game's new crash mechanics. If the player themselves crashes (upon which they will lose some of their boost meter) they can activate Impact Time, which allows them to steer their vehicle in mid-crash towards other vehicles, triggering 'Aftertouch Takedowns'.
BURNOUT 3 TAKEDOWN SOUNDTRACK SERIES
The main new addition to the series gameplay is a focus on 'Takedowns', in which players are encouraged to try and take down their opponents by knocking into them and causing them to crash, upon which they are granted an extension to their boost meter. Gameplay carries on the high speed gameplay of previous entries in the series, in which players race through various courses, earning boost by driving in oncoming traffic lanes, narrowly avoiding other vehicles, and drifting. It is one of the highest rated racing games of all time, according to aggregator GameRankings. The game was released in September 2004 and drew critical acclaim and a large fanbase. It is the third game in Criterion's Burnout series.
Burnout 3: Takedown is a racing game developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts for PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
