== Notable Differences ==
Being rather close to the retail game, most of the World Tour goes unchanged. However, there are a few events with some differences, namely '''Burning Laps''' with times being much tighter than in the final game. It is possible that vehicle choices were different regarding some crash junctions but this must be confirmed first.
Through gameplay it's easy to notice the AI are given much higher values within the [[Value Database]], some vehicles including Dominators and Assassins becoming more intense competition. Super Class and some Race Specials are also very noticeably heightened in AI values, making the final stretch of the game much more brutalistic. Certain vehicles upon the player crashing may become untouchable, leaving the player as much as 10+ seconds behind, requiring a restart for most desirable results.▼
=== Light Crash Mode Changes ===
In crash mode there are very light differences, namely the end-screen pan around working much differently than retail. Instead of money being gradually counted individually by dollar, it is added onto the main number as a whole, and skipping the monetary damage for bonuses and multipliers will continue to run the pan-around.
=== More Aggressive AI ===

=== Heavier Combat ===
In this build, the combat is found to be although not drastically different, heavier than what is given in retail. Cars take more of a beating without dying, and getting '''Psyche Outs''' presents itself more of a challenge. Sometimes vehicles can be seen tipping sideways like in the [[Burnout_3_(2004-04-28_demo)| Standalone Demo]] but this is no longer able to be done by engaging in combat and is merely just how the player interacts with the track at high speeds.
=== Environment Lighting ===

On the icons for certain vehicles, colors that are not present in the final product can be seen when cycling
This build includes 4 different songs that did not make it to retail. These include:
▲Some tracks feature different values within the [[Environment Slice]]. It's primarily seen in european tracks with most sporting a much colder look to them, as well as '''Alpine Expressway''' having strange lighting, though only Expressway appears to be genuinely broken. Based on promotional material and old gameplay videos some of these environment values could date back to as early as May 2004.
* '''Ride''' by '''The Vines'''
* '''Skeptic''' by '''Snapcase'''
* '''Louder Than Bombs''' by '''Time in Malta'''
* '''Messin Around''' by '''The Datsuns'''
