About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting further from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information
The Xbox video game system documentation contains important safety and health information that you should read and understand before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection types, can
be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be safely played on your set. If you are unable to nd this information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.

RISK AND REWARD
Making it in Burnout 3: Takedown is all about taking chances and driving aggressively. Fill your boost bar to speed into the lead and take down rivals to eliminate the competition.
BOOST BAR
If you want to keep up with the competition, ll your boost bar to give yourself a speed advantage. Driving dangerously will gets you started.
Live Dangero usly
Weave through oncoming trafc, risk near-misses, drift around bends, or catch air on a hill crest. The blue icker tells you you’re earning boost, and when it turns to a bright orange ame, release it with a nitro-blast by pressing A.
CRASH EVENTS
What could match the satisfaction of slamming your way into rst place? How about creating a multi­car pile-up—and raking in crash $ to unlock vehicles in the process!
BOOST WARS
Shove opponents to steal their boost, but expect the favor to be returned.
TAKEDOWNS
Takedowns are where you stand to gain the most boosts. Smash an opponent off the track to extend and ll the boost bar: one section is added per takedown, to a maximum of four. Suffer a takedown or crash and one of those sections is lost.
Get Nasty
Clip fast-moving drivers into the trackside for a wall takedown, or boost-smash a rival into oncoming vehicles for a car, van, or big rig takedown.
Rack ‘em Up
String two or more takedowns together. Now you’re really racking up the points!
Takedown Avenged
Opponents don’t take your attacks lightly. Watch their position markers change color. When they hit red, they’re ready to ram you off the road! Steer out of trouble when they smash you—takedown denied!
Sweet Memories
That camera ash means you just scored a signature takedown. Check your photo album for clues about how to make another one (see p. 8). Signature takedowns also score you more points.

BURNOUT POINTS
Spectacular driving of all kinds earns you burnout points too. Go for aggressive driving rewards with stunts such as rubbing, duelling, slams, and shoves, or show off your driving skills by leading laps, pulling off a cool drift, weaving through oncoming trafc, and more.
Keep up the dangerous driving for long enough and a rotating star appears above your boost bar. As you continue the star lls in. If you keep up that fancy driving long enough to ll up all three stars you earn up to 100 burnout points!

Use Aftertouch in race events to steer your wreck into your opponents and score an Aftertouch Takedown—and keep that precious boost bar segment!
Your basic aim is to hit as many vehicles as possible. crash $ are awarded for the number totalled and the amount of damage you inict on them: different vehicles have different values.
Each event has a different Crashbreaker target, which counts down with every wreck piled up. Cause enough vehicles to crash and you can press vehicles—and cause even more crash $-earning damage.
Use ramps to get air, then use Aftertouch to guide yourself into the trafc or towards pick-ups, which can help or hinder your efforts:
Drive through the instant boost for instant speed.
Bronze, silver, and gold Cash Bonus pick-ups add instant crash $, while x2
Hit a Crashbreaker pick-up to explode instant wreckage around your car! It’ll earn you
some more crash $ too.

switch points on the sly.
If you get a Crashbreaker, use Aftertouch again to seek out any pick-ups you missed. MULTIPLAYER CRASH EVENTS put a spin on collecting pick-ups. In Team Crush, both players
must collect the x2 or x4 multipliers for them to take effect, but in a competitive Crash event, you’ll be jostling to collect the pick-ups. Using Crashbreaker in a competitive mode detonates the other player’s car and puts them out of the running!
