Review Summary

Burnout Paradise evolves in Paradise city. It is an intense and exhilarating racing game full of stunts and fights with enemy cars that want to crash with you. There are even road rage and burning routes to make Burnout Paradise more challenging. Trials have to be won so as to earn new cars. However gamers feel that there are not a variety of events. There are quite a number of events but they are repetitive and in the long run you find yourself playing the same specific events again and again. This can become boring and you may lose interest in the game. When you get bored with the single-player action, you can shift online and race against others. You just have to press right on the D pad to bring up the online menu, and then you can team up with other existing games or create your own. Online in Burnout Paradise is quite a different, you can use the PlayStation Eye or Xbox Live Vision Camera to take shots of your rivals online. When you win over a rival player that has a camera hooked up, the cam will take a picture of that player’s reaction. The visual presentation is great. The car crashes and head-on collisions are wonderful, due to some special effects. The theme of Burnout Paradise is fast driving and huge accidents, which may appeal to some but not all gamers.

    Burnout Paradise is the latest in the line of Burnout games, in which you race ridiculously fast through traffic filled streets against opponents whom it's highly encouraged to ram off the road. When you do 'Takedown' someone you get to see some spectacular and incredibly detailed crashes, which are even more detailed when you crash yourself. Your car is quick on its own, but by the aforementioned taking down of opponents or by performing stunts (jumps, drifts, passin... Read more

    Burnout Paradise is an excellent game, but there are one or two blemishes that do tarnish it somewhat. Still, there's something for every Burnout fan here and it will no doubt spark continued debate over whether it's the best in the series. Read more

    There's plenty more I could say about Burnout Paradise, but as usual I've rambled on for far too long - so thanks if you've managed to stick with me to the end of this and my other epic length reviews! I'll end by saying this: Burnout Paradise is the most innovative racing game to come out in a very long time, possibly ever. A fully conceived, brilliantly designed, incredibly gorgeous and intricately varied city is yours to roam around at leisure, discovering shortcut... Read more
