Burnout

The birth of the series was on the 29th of April 2002 when the original Burnout was released in the US. The game was also released in Europe on the 3rd of May 2002 (and re-released as a classic on the 11th of April 2003). This game set the original standard for all later games and was notoriously difficult to master.

Gameplay features 

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 Most of the original and so far unpublished soundtrack will be included in Burnout Paradise.

Burnout 2: Point of Impact was released for 3 different consoles and several different box cover pictures was used. We have selected four of them. One for the PS2, one for GameCube and two for the XBox.
