50% through Burnout Paradise - Bikes patch
By samfo 1 Comments
I'm currently 50% through the bikes patch and I'm enjoying it a whole bunch. Here are some things I've noticed.
The new bikes are good however I can't actually see any point in using the any bike other than the one with the speed at pretty much max. Sure 'strength' on a car is all well and good, but on a bike, pretty much useless.
The bikes feel really good, but maybe a bit too heavy around corners?
Crashes are lame, but that's to be expected. It doesn't bother me too much though.
I am also getting bored of doing what seems to be pretty much the same sort of event 38 times. You don't actually ever race against any other bikes it's all just time trials. This is my biggest problem, the Car part of the game had a lot of variety in the events and It would be great to have some sort of Road Rage mode for bikes (Road Rash anyone?) or better yet a Bike stunt run.
Day and night are great! I also like the fact that you can sync the clock to your local time.
Weather effects are fine, but IMO pointless.
Another thing is that I'm still on my learner permit at 50% through, I think I know how to handle the bike by now :P.
I understand that this is a free patch and it really is amazing! However it seems like all the mechanics in this patch are pretty much perfect but the new bike single player mode seems to be very tacked on.
Anybody else have similar thoughts?
