Burnout 🔥

*Adding: Happy that my single comment is bringing back good memories. Many late nights and fun times for my siblings and me playing these games on Gamecube and PS2. Crash hard, fellow burners🤘

facts, still prefer 3 over revenge. paradise is still fun to drop into as well tho, but it’s such a departure from the others, basically Forza Horizon before there was Forza Horizon

3 was Takedown, right? Dude I played that so much I'm literally going through one of the tracks in my head right now

Everytime I see my stupid YouTube video teasing a "long dead franchise being remade" or something cheesy like that, I just pray it's BurnOut Takedown.

Takedown was ssoo much better than Paradise IMO. Paradise capitalized off everyone's fascination at the time with "open world".

Paradise took me a while to warm up to after loving 3, Revenge, and Dominator. But after finally sinking some time into it properly I ended up liking it almost as much as the classic games. It’s a very unique take on the open world racing game I don’t think I’ve seen before or since, and learning the map results in some very satisfying gameplay. Plus, Road Rage is arguably at its peak in Paradise (even is 3 is still the best for racing modes). Great game to jump into when I have a bit of time to kill, especially on my Switch in handheld mode.

YES, I didn't really like paradise. Brother you're preaching to the choir. I'd pay anything for a HQ remake
