It's still hard to believe how well the game has held up against the competition even after a year's worth of releases. It still looks better than a lot of what's out there.

Maybe it was the use of terrible cars, but the Cops and Robbers mode seemed not as cool as I had envisioned it being. Still fun, just not as fun.

Tried to get back into BO:P but just couldn't do it, same problem as Jeff...I've spent 80+ hours in that city...new cars and modes aren't exactly what I'm looking for.  The new island should get me back into it somewhat...but I just couldn't see it being deep or big enough to really keep me long.

It looks neat and all, but what I want out of Burnout is more to race on - not more to race on what's already there. Forza and PGR4 had the same problem with their DLC, doling out cars when they needed more tracks.

I realize that tracks and scenery take more effort to make, and something like this cops & robbers DLC takes an absolute minimum of effort to construct, but damn.

The people not playing CAN muck things up, they can take you down but they don't know which team you are on. That combined with not being able to find any matches and when you do they might not even be matches or make you wait up to 20 minutes, makes Cops and Robbers really really bad.

Thanks for showing some of the Legendary Cars. I've had some points left over and was wondering what to use them for after Broken Steel. :)

I'm getting pretty tired of crappy lobby systems in games. Gears 2, Street Fighter 4, and now Burnout Paradise. I should be able to pick Cops and Robbers, then go.

It's weird, I never really liked the racing aspect of Burnout Paradise, I had more fun crashing through gates and doing freeburn challenges. For me, the whole open-world, traffic-filled city thing made the actual driving feel meaningless because it was less about skillfully cutting corners and more about looking at the map and hoping there are no cars coming at you while you do it.

Not worth $10 IMO.

Shame on Criterion for trying to pawn something like this off for an Alexander Hamilton.

This is very much an Abraham Lincoln kind of purchase.

After getting 50+ hours out of Burnout on a $20 purchase this DLC seems like a poor value in comparison. The (not) DeLorean seems fun though.

That first Back to the Future wreck would've been perfected if a bicyclist had slowly crashed into the car, followed by an old lady walking into it.

I think I've got around 38 or so events left in the city, a lot of those are the stunt events. I too am still terrible at them like Jeff. Sadly I won't be getting this DLC, looking forward to what else they have though.

I was going to get this but it's just a CTF pack with police skins. That's pretty lame. Robbers should not be chasing cops. Ever.

They should have made it so that your gang have to get back to the hideout and the cops have to catch you using deployable roadblocks, spike strips and ramming you off the road. At least give the cops standard police cruisers like Vics and Chargers and the lead scorer gets a Lamborghini for a round.
