Burnout 3: Takedown is the third game in the high speed racing series, Burnout. Released on September 7, 2004, developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts (it is the first game in the series to be published by EA Games), the game drew critical acclaim and a large fanbase. A GameCube version was planned but was scrapped during development. This game has been followed up by Burnout Revenge. To show the recipient of the takedown crashing, particles and car parts fly all over (this can be disabled by the player). A player who crashes into traffic or obstacles himself or gets taken down by an opponent will have his/her boost meter reduced (but not below the minimum length).

However, in the single-player mode, the player can apply "aftertouch" to subtly move his/her car in the direction held by the analog stick. Doing so allows him/her to direct his car into the path of an opponent's car approaching from behind. Successfully doing this results in an Aftertouch Takedown which will allow the player to retain the length of his boost meter.
