Burnout 3: Takedown Cheats
for Xbox

Hint: Change Music

To change the music while playing the game press the BLACK button.

NOTE: This will only work if it's done during a race or road rage event, but you can turn a song off. After listening to the song to the end, that's waiting for the next song without pressing BLACK, a new "off" setting will be added for that particular song in the EA Game Traks menu.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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.
