Tried it out earlier tonight. Pretty rad stuff. I was done with the game months ago, but this might get me back into it. I might just wait until the Island update though. We'll see.

I very much appreciate the fact that you took the time to make a video feature instead of just a written piece about it. Great work Jeff and thank you.

They are interesting. The offline bike challenges are boring as they are all A to B with nothing exciting in between. Some bike races would have been nice.

Also a constant 10 second day cycle needs to be added.

This is something I would love to see more of on Giantbomb.I feel like downloadable content (free or not free) never gets the coverage it deserves on gaming websites. Maybe you guys could start reviewing DLC?

Anyway, this video reminded me that I still need to get Burnout................

I need to get Burnout Paradise. I wonder though, do the bikes lead to balance issues with cars? I mean they seem super fast and they can just take off. I was hoping to see a race or something here but I guess I'll just have to keep an eye out to find out.

To bad other console games don't have this much free content updates you usually have to pay for it.

It took me only 5 minutes to download the update, but nearly 10 minutes for this video. The GiantBomb servers seem rather slow (but I am in Japan).

Jeff, you need to do more of these kinds of video in the future, but also do games that just came out or downloadable games

This game has some issues. For some people, including me, it says the downloadable content was damaged, the Cagney. But they deleted the Cagney update from the XBL download list, so you basically have to re-install the bike pack, and the restart your console...

I'm amazingly impressed the original game was written so well that adding dynamic real-time lighting and weather and, well, bikes was easily possible. I'm more into the day/night effects than the bikes though.

Bikes just made me so much worse at this game its unbelivable. I can't handle the speed :P having said that, this being free is mind blowing. I mean compare this to Horse Armour and we see the evolution of online purchasing.

I remember Jeff saying he really didn't like motorcycles in racing games. He seems to enjoy this so it must be pretty sweet.

It looks good, but I don't know if I'll be buying the re-release, I really prefer previous Burnout titles to this one.

I think it is so awesome that Criterion is still adding content to this game, and its free too!  Most developers wouldn't do that.

The engine looks so unbelievable now. It's quite a shocker and looking back at the old games shows how much progress this series has made. 1 and 2 look archaic now
