Burnout 3: Takedown
Mar. 4th, 2006 11:55 amI was imagining, a few weeks ago, a game that would let me wreck vehicles with abandon, get points for causing huge messes, and get bigger and bigger vehicles to cause messes with. The penultimate vehicle would be an 18-wheeler full of various loads like crash test dummies, pianos, soap, syrup, or soda.
And then, I find out there's such a game! (But, sadly, without the ability to load a vehicle with messy stuff.)

I laugh at the mayhem in this the way I laughed at my brothers' failed bicycle mods, or the time they took a pile of model car parts and put a cherry bomb in the middle, sending a pretty spray of plastic everywhere.
I can't explain why watching cgi vehicles slide into each other, catch fire, fall off cliffs, and tumble end over end is funny, IT JUST IS!
Last night, I got my first $1,000,000. wreck, and I didn't play again for the rest of the night. There was just no topping the glory of causing a mil in pretend mayhem.
