The Xbox 360 port takes this UpToEleven: being a launch-window next-gen title, the tracks are ''bathed'' in blooming effects that seem to distract more than they awe-inspire. This was also the case in ''Paradise'' too, which had a desaturated, high-contrast look. This was eventually patched to a more colourful aesthetic when the Day/Night cycle was introduced.

It's often safer to not use Boost at all for most of the race, not even getting into trying to get a Burnout chain going. The one upshot is that, unlike every other game with Burnouts in it, you're not punished for disengaging the Boost by having to fill the meter up again.

* '''''Burnout 3: Takedown'' (2004):''' This game saw the introduction of the Takedown, which allows you to check other racers into walls or traffic to earn boost and get them out of your way. Along with Takedowns came Road Rage mode, where you have to wreck as many opposing cars as possible before a) the time ran out, or b) you took too much damage. Crash mode was also improved, adding power ups that increased (or decreased) money gained, and added Crashbreakers, which allowed you to blow up your car to do some extra damage. Crash Aftertouch was introduced, which allows you to steer your car's wreck into opponent cars to score Takedowns even after you've crashed out (this also exists in Crash Mode to help acquire crash pickups). A modified boosting system was introduced in ''3'' that used an incremental meter that allowed boosting at any time so long as the meter was partially filled (this also removed the Burnout mechanic present in the previous two games), which could be extended through Takedowns up to four times its original length. It also featured a similar map system to ''2'', only this time with three maps across the USA, Europe and Far East as part of the World Tour mode hosted by DJ Stryker on Crash FM. This game was originally planned to be released in 2003, but it was delayed for a year when Acclaim went bankrupt, finally getting picked up by Creator/ElectronicArts in 2004. EA would eventually buy Criterion outright, making ''Burnout'' a permanent staple of EA for the future.

The Pursuit mode in ''2'' and ''Legends'' and Cops and Robbers in ''Paradise'' are the only times police appear in the games, but even there they are exclusively player-controlled. This was part of the reason why the Pursuit mode was discontinued from ''3'' onwards, as the developers felt that any kind of police presence in the games would just raise questions about their absence in the rest of the game.
