Burnout 3: Takedown Cheats on Xbox

Need For Speed Underground Cars

Complete all Crash Mode levels with a 'Gold' rank. Then, hold White + Black while choosing a car at the vehicle selection screen.

Quick Start

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.

Starting Direction

You can turn your car while wheel spinning at the beginning of a crash junction. This can be useful for aiming at a pick-up or ramp.

Allow a Pass

If you are low on boost and a rival is right behind you, slow down until he passes you. Then, get a takedown by making them crash. This gives you a lot of boost and guarantees they won’t come back on you at the end.

Easy money in Crash Mode

When you get to the main menu, go to "Single Event" and "Crash Mode". Select "Junction 19", "Tuk Down", and "Muscle type 1" as your car. Boost start at the beginning. Drift and collect either the gold or silver (it is possible to collect both of them). Smash through the boxes avoiding the wall, into the boost and up evenly on the jump, avoiding the heart-breaker to your right. Collect the x2 multiplier and after touch, making sure you try to land evenly without hitting any
boxes. Slide into the Crashbreak

Getting into big corners

When at full speed (outside), hold Boost so that you will take the corner from the outside. Yyou will grind one of your sides for the entire time. When drifting with boost (cutting), start drifting and turn your car so you will be facing the one third of the road (about 35 degrees from the edge of road) and press Boost. You will achieve a drift bonus and get the corner really fast. When drifting (cutting), approach into the corner, drift, and make sure you stay on road for faster speed. You will achieve drift. When slowing down (inside), release Gas and take the corner slowly from the inside.

SSX 3 reference

Sometimes Striker (the radio DJ) talks about "DJ Atomika". Atomika is from SSX 3.

Move after you have stopped in crash mode

After you have peofrmed your crash, save the Crashbreaker and look around to see if there are items or more cars you can hit. Use the Crashbreaker, and guide yourself with R and the D-pad to where ever you want to go. This can move you pretty far, and can get you over trailers and big trucks.

Unlocking cars

Choose your favorite track in world tour mode and race it repeatedly (do not retry). Continue, then repeat. Find a stage or track in world tour mode that you can get a lot of money from. Keep playing that track until you have unlocked the next car in your line-up.

Extra boost

On crash courses, use the Right Analog-stick to point up on the countdown. On each second, rotate it in a circle. On the last second, rotate it around twice to get an extra shot of boost. Get three takedowns so that you have a good amount of boost in your boost bar. Drive in the oncoming lane with your boost. Your boost will not go down and become infinite until you crash or go out of the oncoming traffic. Note: This works even better in Burning Lap, Preview Lap, and Special Event modes. You will actually start gaining boost when this is done in those events.
