IGN writes: It's been three years since the last Burnout game, the open-world Burnout Paradise, and even longer since the last traditional Burnout effort. Developer Criterion definitely caught this fan's attention when it announced it had a downloadable Burnout for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network focusing on Crash mode -- my favorite thing to do in the series.
Cultured Vultures: The Burnout series has plenty of great games to play, but which one is definitively the best? We're here to rank them all.
I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.
Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.
That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.
I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.
After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.
Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.
Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

I can't believe I had to enter my DOB to watch that video. This looks like a PS1 game, that's not to say it doesn't look fun but I'd expect something a little more advanced nowadays even for an XBLA/PSN title.
