Burnout 3: Takedown Cheats, Codes, Hints, Tips
Burnout 3: Takedown
While playing a game, hold L2 + R2 to advance to the next song.
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.
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.
Choose your favorite track in world tour mode and race it repeatedly (do not retry). Continue, then repeat.
