i looked it up and found that EA closed the servers for takedown in april 2010 "look it up on wikipedia" i know some time's wiki isnt very accurate however as the game was re released on XBL the servers were opened again however i cant see how anyone can draw a conclusion to state that TDU is a simulation and thats it weird to compare it to burnout where as i know that TDU is an arcade racer (if it was a sim the car handling and physics were way off especially if a saleen S7 has a top speed of 300mph lol even when its not tuned it still has unrealistic handling especially accelleration) and burnout has some of the best crash damage of any racing game, both TDU and Burnout are arcade racers and both are open world where as games like mario kart, wipeout and blur are linear "non open world" thay may have multiple routes on the tracks but thats it you cant drive where you want (many times PGR came out and i was hoping for an open world but instead got another linear racer, with this much proccessing power and advanced HD content its about time more open world racing games came out. the only really good linear racing sim id say has to be GT5 as for arcade racers till anything like burnout paradise comes out like TDU2 ill stear well clear.

Wipeout is a very apt comparison - it's a power-up based racer and not a car/combat game ala Twisted Metal.

Blur is Wipeout/Mario Kart - simple as that.

Do you mean the airbrake?  In which case it's hold back when you've got a nitro...

Sorry, you're right about Takedown having online multiplayer. Still, it was at a time when a much smaller percentage of console gamers played online (particularly on PS2), so comparing server numbers for Takedown and Paradise still isn't relevant (as post 32 points out, the Takedown servers have been closed for years).

lol what ever, just cause you cant find any sales figures for takedown you think the whole world has to agree with you, paradise is the future of burnout, free roam is what people want "hell why do you think blur is in bargin bins everywhere" HMV has it for just £20 just like split second nice idea but falls far short of games that its trying so hard to imitate. (split second, looks and feels like full auto and blur is basicly wipeout on wheels just not as fun as wipeout) but yeah your right blur is better than takedown and takedown was an online game so i guess you never played online then (playing at home isnt the same experience as online lol maybe you diddnt look at the back of the box and see the network/online play and even worse if you have an xbox/360 as the old xbox servers have been shut down unlike psn, you pay for a service only to have part of it shut down to create extra bandwidth when sony do it for free and still support ps2,ps3 and psp network/online play).

if you really want to play a last gen title online you can on ps2 but forget it on 360 as it just aint happening and that the thing takedown is last gen what about revenge a vast improvement on takedown ??? but paradise opened new doors for new gameplay elements you can say traffic makes the game but seriously too much traffic would have killed the game especially in gameplay, htey just removed 1 feature and replaced it with loads more. maybe blur 2 might change things but as far as im concerned blur is no match for burnout paradise.
