Welcome to Paradise City

Paradise City is filled with things to do.Burnout Paradise takes a huge leap in innovation from the previous Burnout titles. As a gamer who isn't incredibly interested in racing games (besides the occasional Mario Kart), I was naturally skeptical about Burnout Paradise. But, after seeing it for $20 as a ...

Not like the old Burnouts, but probably the best open-world racer

Burnout Paradise hooked me from the very first time I loaded it up and saw that the Start screen hits you with a wide shot of Paradise and the cool sounds of Guns 'N Roses' "Paradise City" (what else?). This is opposed to the usual Burnout fair of some sort ...

Completely Disappointing
(

Let's start with the obvious things - Burnout Paradise is no where near as good as the series was before. The game is a lot of fun to play when you're doing events, but the problem is getting to those events, and more importantly failing an event, is really annoying. ...

Burnout Paradise is probably agreed by most people, that it is the most different Burnout to the rest of the series; reasons for this are: You can now free-roam around the city and get to know it well, its the biggest city in a Burnout game to date, and for ...

Not the burnout I remember

Back in the day when Burnout existed on PS2, it was one of the best games out there. Crashes seemed fairly decent, and the races were generally fun. Burnout Paradise tries to mix up that formula and does so somewhat successfully. First of all it is an Open-World burnout game, ...

Since Grand Theft Auto 3 made its grand entrance on the Playstation 2 in 2001, its free-roaming style of gameplay has been pasted into countless games, with varying success. What is becoming more and more obvious is that the inclusion of a sandbox is utterly pointless if there is nothing ...

Criterion's decision to depart from the tried and true formula that has made Burnout a popular series among gamers world wide was a gamble, a gamble that did and didn't pay off; depending who you ask. There are many series fans who dislike a lot of features Burnout Paradise brings ...

best game in the burnout series, which is something in itself
(
X360

The original Burnout was a game focussed on fast, furious racing and really shook-up the racing genre. Over time though the series became bogged-down in creating over-the-top crash animations and the core racing experience suffered as a result. With Burnout Paradise, developer Criterion, has opened up the game-world, allowing players ...

Crash Porn

Burnout Paradise is the latest in the series from developer Criterion Games which specializes in celebrating grotesquely over the top automobile collisions. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the visceral crashes in Burnout Paradise border on fetishism, but in the context of the game it's well executed and actually ...

Burnout Paradise is completely different from its predecessor, Burnout Revenge. At least, that's what it feels like when you first start playing. You need to stick with it for a while before all the pieces start falling into place. So let's talk about what's different. Burnout Revenge was an arcade ...
