Iplayed Burnout 3 a lot on the first xbox. I got a PS3 late and this was one of the first games I bought. I believe that it was already under the "Greatest Hits" program. I've never been a fan of racing simulators, this was always on my radar because of it's less serious approach. I'm from the school of Crash Team Racing (the first one only) so the "fighting" elements are what usually pique my interest.
I played the hell out of this game. I really liked the fact that it was pretty much pick up and play. It had a decent variety of cars and challenges. Nothing beat checking someone into the wall and winning a race. One of my favorite modes was "Marked Man" where the computer incessantly sends out the Secret Service blacked out cars to wreck you and you drive to you goals trying not to get killed. I also had love for the stunt challenge where you try to meet the goal.
The graphics were so clean even thought it didn't have an actual driver in the car. It sucks that it was single player offline only until that Ultimate Box. I never bought that but if there isn't a PS4 release, I'll probably get that. Any of y'all got love for the Burnout series?
