Conclusion

As we have seen the Burnout series has come a long way since it all began in 2002, but strangely we find that the latest generation have actually started to go back to some of the old ways. Generation 4 must be said to be the generation furthest away from the original game, maybe just a bit too far away, as Criterion decided to check their history books to find out how Burnout was meant to be played in 2002 and incorporated some of the original ideas back into the fifth generation.

Burnout 3: Takedown Soundtrack

The soundtrack for Burnout 3: Takedown features more than 40 songs from bands including Jimmy Eat World, Yellowcard, New Found Glory, and many more. The soundtrack delivers an authentic radio experience complete with commentary from DJ Stryker from alternative radio station KROQ-FM in Los Angeles.

The soundtrack is part of the EA TRAX music initiative. This program is dedicated to elevating the in-game entertainment experience by delivering breakthrough music in all EA SPORTS, EA GAMES and EA SPORTS BIG releases.

Originally there was a soundtrack much like the one in Burnout 2: Point of Impact. This was replaced by the EA Trax soundtrack before the release of the game. Most of the original and so far unpublished soundtrack will be included in Burnout Paradise.
