This was the first game that I ever played. On the PlayStation 2. I have managed to keep my original PS2 working for the past 16 ish or more years and have had my original copy of Burnout 3 for about as long as I could remember. So, when my original copy just became too damaged to play anymore I was pretty bummed. Not destroyed, because it's just a game and I knew I could always buy another copy, and that is exactly what I did. I came to Ebay in search of what is, arguably, my personal favorite game of all time, so I came searching for a good deal and that is exactly what I found. As far as the game itself, it is just as fun as I remember, and thankfully I now no longer have to deal with graphical glitches that occurred because the disk was scratched and made gameplay near impossible. It runs very smoothly now and I personally feel, looked very good for a PS2 game. For 2004 this game was the sh*t in realistic graphics and I say that it still looks pretty damn good. The gameplay can at times feel repetitive mainly due to the reuse and restructuring of the same tracks, but, the game still has a decent number of tracks and it is a racing game after all so some things might feel a little bit of the same. But it keeps your interest because it has many diverse game modes and some that criss cross into each other for explosive fun. My favorite of these is Road Rage in which the only goal is to destroy your opponents with your vehicle as many times as possible before time expires or before you become too destroyed yourself. It is a great destresser especially after sitting in heavy traffic it lets you release al those thoughts and actions that you wished you could do with you 1999 Honda Civic. To keep from continuing to ramble. This game is fun as hell. Buy it. Play it. Love it. You can make cars go boom, a lot. There is a lot of f***in boom in this game. So. Much. Boom.Read full review

This product was purchased used. The game itself in content is good, my family has played it before , but this copy purchased used, does nit work properly. It will only play the first race. The rest are glitchy and will not play. Very disappointed because there is no return on this game.

Burnout 3 improves on nearly everything making it the best in the series so far. This game is definately in contention for the best racing game ever. What Burnout does exceedingly well is speed. You feel it, you hear it and sometimes you can almost smell the rubber burning. No other racing game captures the feel of racing on the edge like Burnout. You are rewarded for risky and aggressive driving, provided you have the skill to pull them off safely. Push the envelope too far and you're going to wreck. Crashes themselves are a beauty to watch and these sort of accidents don't become frustrating to the point of detracting from gameplay. In most modes, you simply restart on the track a few seconds after your crash. Your opponents aren't perfect either and they will wipe out themselves, with or without your involvement. This kind of mayhem makes the game pure fun. There is also the crash mode gameplay which is a staple of the Burnout series. Step on the gas, rocket towards trouble and crash into traffic, causing as much devastation as possible. While still fun, the crash mode in Burnout 3 isn't as deep as its predecessor. The addition of bonus coins, crashbreakers (secondary explosions after impact) and multiplier icons means that you have to take a set path to achieve the highest scores. The random/luck factor is almost completly gone and makes the varied, replayable crashes of Burnout 2 a thing of the past. Too bad. The graphics are amazing, giving rich detail and life to the cars, the road and the environments. When you get up to high speeds, things around you start to blur, the cars around you have motion trails and a sense of tunnel vision grips you. It's the kind of rush that makes your knuckles white. Combined with the stellar visuals are some very intense sounds and high-energy music. You can alter the playlist to your liking as well. Burnout leans heavily in favor of arcade racing fans, but there is most definately a degree of skill required that some sim fans might enjoy. You can still get ahead of the pack by hitting the apex of a corner just right, but with aggressive drivers and unforgiving traffic, that's a hard thing to do. That just provides more of a challenge and is what draws me to Burnout over and over. With tons of unlockables, tracks, race types and special objectives, you can be racing for many an hour. Burnout 3 provides excitement through and through. With the exception of the more linear, predestined crash mode, this game brings it all to the table in a nice shiny package.Read full review
This game was fun the first time I played it back in 2004/2005, and well, after not having played it for a long time I got the urge to play it again, so I set about looking to buy a copy here on eBay. I've got to say, this game is just as much fun today as it was the first time I played it six or seven years ago. Even years later I do not feel that to me it has lost one bit of its appeal or that the fun factor has diminished. I don't know what it is really that makes the combination of racing, crashing, taking out your opponents, and explosions that makes up this game so good. My only guess is that they got the combination just about perfect with Burnout 3. About the only things I don't like about the game are the in-game camera angles for crashes, as they often give you shots which are in the opposite direction of where you want to after-steer your car, and that the gold medals on the "burning laps" are so difficult to achieve. If it weren't for those little things I'd give it a five-star rating.Read full review
In the world of video game racing there are 2 types of game: realistic physics and non-realistic. This is quite possibly the best example of non-realistic racing, which is why it is epically fun. Making your opponents crash in fantastic ways. Causing multi-million dollar pile ups on the interstate. And easily one of the best soundtracks of any genre. The key to this game really is turning the sound effects all the way down and the music all the way up (from the in game sound menu) and rocking out while flying around the tracks. The graphics are beautiful for ps2. The single player campaign is easy at first, but at the end you will need ultimate precession and just a touch of luck. Party crash is a sweet way to please a crowd keeping your friends engaged and competitive. My opinion: this is one of the best games ever made for ps2.Read full review
