When the player crashes or is taken out by an opponent, boost is lost and a bonus boost segment is withdrawn. Ramming opponents will cause them to behave more aggressively in return their level of hostility is indicated by a coloured arrow above their vehicle. Each one fills the boost meter and can provide an additional boost segment, causing the meter to extend up to four times its initial size. A Takedown involves shunting opposing vehicles until they crash. The quickest method for earning boost is a Takedown-a central mechanic introduced in this instalment of the series. Boost can be used immediately in Burnout 3, unlike previous Burnout games which required the boost meter to be full. During a race, boost, which is earned by acts of reckless driving such as drifting around corners, near misses with traffic, and driving in oncoming lanes, can be used to rapidly increase a car's speed. The Single Race mode pits the player against five AI opponents in a single or multiple lap race. The game features standard circuit races which take place on carriageways and city streets populated with traffic. A Takedown can fill and extend the boost meter, enabling the player to drive faster.Д«urnout 3: Takedown is a racing video game with arcade-style gameplay that emphasises dangerous and fast-paced driving.
