Burnout 3 is a fun game no doubt about that, and has the same
annoyances that PGR2 has/had, which is that you have to unlock cars and
tracks offline to be able to use them online. That kinda blows, but at
least you can run on tracks the host has unlocked, so you won't get
bumped if they run a track you don't have yet. But, do yourself a favor
and play the offline races and unlock the cars you'll need to compete
with online.
When playing on or offline, when you are playing road rage, choose an
'Assasin' type car in the car class you are running in. It has the
weight you need to survive the race and the weight you need to pummle
N00baxx with, and they are as fast as all the other cars in the class
(except for the Dominator?)
While playing offline, you pretty much have to get Gold medals in
everything if you want to unlock all the cars ion the game. Some races
won't open up unless you have all golds in this or that series. So, to
save some time, if you are getting pwned halfway into a race, I would
just start it over (the button sequence for that is -> start, down,
a, up, a).
Offline, after a Takedown (you taking down someone else), you are given
a grace period when you regain control where you will be steered clear
by the computer, even when you have control, it's a little weird, but
if you can plan a takedown leading into an especially crazy part of the
track, it can help you.
In races against the computer, be sure to go take out the lead car ASAP
because he'll just race while the others will concentrate on taking you
out. Drive clean early to move ahead, then start punishing the computer
whenever you have the chance. You gain more boost that way, and will
stay near the front which should be all you need to win. Also, rear
ending cars while boosted tends to take them out pretty easily and
doesn't slow you down very much at all.
The general public seems to find it fun to start a session with no car
limits, and get everyone set up with muscle cars are, and then at the
last second change over to a coupe or something and then crush you.
Fuck the GP and long live AGE.
AFAICT, after 150 takedowns, you don't unlock any more cars that way,
and the same is true after 200,000 burnout points. I'm up in the
52,000,000 crash points area, and there's another unlock at 70,000,000.
Online, take out Vjornaxx ASAP because he'll do the same as that first
computer car and just race away from you as you fight thru Soul, Empty,
hoggle, flatline, and hazard. Kill the n00baxx! heheehehe....:smt003
When starting an online game with a password, please always use "AGE1"
as the password (and passwords are case sensitive I think).
For those who care about rank, playing Single Race and Road Rage will help you gain rank faster than Party Crash.
