    Burnout Paradise turns the Burnout series on its head by moving from closed set tracks to an open world full of events to experience both alone and in a group online.

    Gorgeous graphics

    I decided that this game wasn't worth 60$ when I first heard about it and decided to wait until it was cheaper. All I can say is boy am I sorry I waited.

    This game takes the phrase open-world to extremes, by barring you from restarting races, which is very frustrating at time, and just having to press right on the d-pad to open the online; Although it can be annoying not being able to restart, you'll soon get over and just stare in awe at the gorgeous graphics. The races can get a bit too easy at times, but the AI is still smart enough to hold it's own.

    My only problem with this game is that it's graphics are TOO good and most of the time leaves me wanting to get a HD TV. Also, Showtime just isn't a worthy enough successor to crash mode, but at least it's still pretty fun.

    the online is very nice, and is easy to get to. Unfortunately, about 50% of burnout's online population are complete douchebags.....


    Overall, it's a great game that I will be playing for a VERY long time.

After selecting a car and fixing it up, you are free to go wherever y...

      Burnout Paradise(Xbox 360) by wess on October 20, 2008

          The Burnout series is the only set of racing games that I've ever really been able to stomach, and that is for a few reasons.  One being the fact that the game is as much (if not more) about wrecking stuff and causing destruction as it is about racing, and the other main reason is that it doesn't do that crap about making it feel more like the "real world" by making you manage money and repair and buy your own cars.  This game not only doesn't punish you for bustin' up your own set of wheels...
