Burnout 3: Takedown

Quick Start
Hold the gas while tapping the brakes to get your tires smoking. When the
countdown is between '1' and 'Go', release the gas, then press it again.

Starting Direction
You can turn your car while wheel spinning at the beginning of a crash junction.
This can be useful for aiming at a pick-up or ramp.

Allow a Pass
If you are low on boost and a rival is right behind you, slow down until he passes
you. Then, get a takedown by making them crash. This gives you a lot of boost
and guarantees they won't come back on you at the end.

Easy takedown:
As soon as any race begins, immediately get behind the nearest opponent and
hold Boost. You will start getting "Tailgating" points and will receive a short boost.
Use this boost to quickly slam your opponent. This will result in a takedown about
90% of the time and will immediately fill your entire boost bar.

Need For Speed Underground Cars

choosing a car at the vehicle selection screen.

Change song:
Hold White + Black during game play to advance to the next song.

Extra boost:
On crash courses, use the Right Analog-stick to point up on the countdown. On
each second, rotate it in a circle. On the last second, rotate it around twice to get
an extra shot of boost.

Get three takedowns so that you have a good amount of boost in your boost bar.
Drive in the oncoming lane with your boost. Your boost will not go down and
become infinite until you crash or go out of the oncoming traffic. Note: This works
even better in Burning Lap, Preview Lap, and Special Event modes. You will
actually start gaining boost when this is done in those events.

Unlocking cars:
Choose your favorite track in world tour mode and race it repeatedly (do not
retry). Continue, then repeat.

Find a stage or track in world tour mode that you can get a lot of money from.
Keep playing that track until you have unlocked the next car in your line-up.

Move after you have stopped in crash mode:
After you have peofrmed your crash, save the Crashbreaker and look around to
see if there are items or more cars you can hit. Use the Crashbreaker, and guide
yourself with R and the D-pad to where ever you want to go. This can move you
pretty far, and can get you over trailers and big trucks.

SSX 3 reference:
Sometimes Striker (the radio DJ) talks about "DJ Atomika". Atomika is from SSX 3.

Getting into big corners:
When at full speed (outside), hold Boost so that you will take the corner from the
outside. Yyou will grind one of your sides for the entire time. When drifting with
boost (cutting), start drifting and turn your car so you will be facing the one third
of the road (about 35 degrees from the edge of road) and press Boost. You will
achieve a drift bonus and get the corner really fast. When drifting (cutting),
approach into the corner, drift, and make sure you stay on road for faster speed.
You will achieve drift. When slowing down (inside), release Gas and take the
corner slowly from the inside.

Easy money in Crash mode:
When you get to the main menu, go to "Single Event" and "Crash Mode".
Select "Junction 19", "Tuk Down", and "Muscle type 1" as your car. Boost start at
the beginning. Drift and collect either the gold or silver (it is possible to collect
both of them). Smash through the boxes avoiding the wall, into the boost and up
evenly on the jump, avoiding the heart-breaker to your right. Collect the x2
multiplier and after touch, making sure you try to land evenly without hitting any
boxes. Slide into the Crashbreaker, and get to the x4 multiplier past the buses in
aftertouch. If you get knocked out of the way by the buses, wait until you stop and
press Crashbreaker. Aim in the direction of the x4 multiplier. If you miss, you
always have the x2 as a fail safe. It is possible to get $1,500,000 to $1,750,000.
Repeat this, and do not select "Retry"; as all the money adds up to the total score.

Go to junction titled "On-Rampage". The largest car you have will work best.
Getting the boost start at the beginning is not required, but it does help. It is
possible grab the silver or bronze pick-ups, then pick up the 4x multiplier and hit
the car that is closest to the yellow strip on the road in the oncoming lanes. Use
aftertouch to try to stay in the spot that you hit that car. Wait until there are two
or three seconds remaining, then use your Crashbreaker to explode. Try to take
out the gas tankers with the explosion. It is possible to get $1.8 million to $2.5
million.

When you have crashed into a Crashbreaker icon, try using aftertouch to launch
your self through the air and hit an oil tanker. Note: This is difficult; you need to
know where they come from in the level. Hopefully your Crashbreaker meter
should have gone down. Press Black to blow yourself up and the oil tanker. This
will result in $99,990 for the oil tanker, and if you can get the 4x multiplier, you
will have stacks.
