I haven't played Burnout in a while, but this definitely makes me want to play again...

Is that a Chili's? Did you just pass a Chili's?

It looks cool, but not cool enough to warrant me paying for it, me thinks.

I know that the Hawaii Five-O theme fit in an island-themed Trackmania course. It would *totally* fit in Big Surf Island.

Aw, I was going to make a "Yo 50" joke, but then I saw cc23574's picture and realized that captures everything I'd ever want to joke about with hitting big ass ramps. Winner.

As for Big Surf, looks like a crazy place. I like the nonsense parking garage and the crazy bridge. It almost seems like you could have duels jumping the bridge and trying to collide in mid air. Heh.

Probably the best DLC I have EVER bought. It's amazing value, and a great example of how DLC should be done.

Ahaha, cc that picture is pure win, no doubt about it.
As for this DLC, ReTarDedFisHy just wants to say that it needs more big-ass ramps.

I haven't become bored enough of the original Island to warrant buying this to be honest.

Is it just me, or is the crash damage less intense on DLC cars?

Burnout Paradise was an awesome game but I'm afraid that I'm a bit "Burnt Out" on it to actually purchase the expansion. Yes pun intended. Plus Big Island Surf looks too much like Paradise City from what I've seen here.

A parking garage without parking spaces, I am sure the tax payers are happy about that.

Looks fucking retarded. DLC should add more than new collectibles and new cars. Criterion fucked up big on this one. It also looks exactly the same as the old area. This should be free. Mind you i sold Burnout Paradise cause it got boring as fuck really fast.

Best $12.50 I've spent all year.

I thought the island was incredible value.  And then I started unlocking the cars.  Criterion has outdone themself this time.  I was giddy when I got the Toy 88 Special.  Specially since I didn't get either the Toy or Legendary cars pack - this is like getting both in one!

@TomA: It's a new island, with new cars, challenges, collectibles, jumps...I don't know what else you could want from DLC -- there's literally nothing else it could offer.

I would love to buy this, but £10 seems really steep. 


I'm not a fan of EA's DLC pricing - but I'm really caught in a trap, do I support one of my favourite developers (Criterion) by buying their non-free DLC after they supported the game so well when it was free, or do I protest at EA's high prices with my wallet. Tough call, but it does look cool.

Still against the ropes.  It looks fun but man if I buy this for $12.50, then I'm going to have to buy the Cops & Robbers pack which at the moment I don't even know how much that is.  The game is just a bit expensive on content.  It looks cool but i'm still not sure.

oh gosh is Burnout boring. their major super greatest most fantastical jump on the Island is jumping through an open part of a Lighthouse.
i remember the first time the developer said "i gonna jump THROUGH a Lighthouse!!" and i was thinkin smashing through the light, broken glass everywhere, the light explodes, sparks fly but nope. same ol' boring Burnout jump. "wheeee- oh its over."

if Burnout was all about hittin a ramp and the ramp explodes while your car is hit by lightning and you're jumping through rings of fire that shoot fireworks and you crash through a wall of Ninjas and then the Ninjas explode then maybe Burnout wouldn't be so boring :(

I did just about everything there was to do in Paradise City and I can't say I've played it too much after getting the Burnout Elite license, or whatever the final one was called.  I wasn't originally interested in Big Surf but this quick look may have just changed my mind, seems like the first piece of DLC for the game that's actually worth the price.
