The Burnout series is well known for fast paced destruction. Burnout Paradise gives you destruction, but not very good destruction. It's not terrible, it's just mediocre. It generally just consists... more

    3 Stars The Ultimate Edition Not So Ultimate! Review with images 12/07/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of different cars, challenges and events to take part in and the crashes look awesome!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The free roaming is pointless and the game only has one single player mode!

    BURNOUT PARADISE THE ULTIMATE BOX The Burnout games have previously been a huge success with the most notably Burnout Takedown being the highlight of a series of top racing games. Burnout Paradise is available for PC, PS3 and the Xbox 360. Burnout Paradise has been changed in a lot of different ways but I wouldn't say its been changed for the better. Developers Criterion Games have added a somewhat strange free roaming system to Burnout a little bit like the old Driver games that were back on the PS1. Burnout Paradise has been completely reinvented and to be fair the older Burnout games are ... more

    3 Stars I dont agree with the hype 18/06/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages +Looks great +great soundtrack +some good solid hours of game

    Disadvantages Disadvantages -problematic navigation process -Crash physics sometimes out of whack

    I have always been a fan of the Burnout series, so when i was promised this HD i expected something of epic proportion, unfortunatly however i keep finding myself disappointed, no matter how much i try to love it. I have played through alot of this game, and have played alot of Burnout titles before, and when playing paradise i am frequently delighted to see exciting features from previous games brought forwards and revamped to look alot prettier, however for every upside there is a downside, The mini map and navigation systems for example, take a lot of time to adjust to, and unless you are ... more

    4 Stars Best of the Burnouts 07/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Graphics, free roaming, great cars

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get a tad monotonous

    Burnout paradise is hands down the best burnout game released! No, I'm not just saying that because it's the most recent one to be released, I'm saying that because it's the truth! I feel that the series lost its way a bit and each new release was simply the same as the previous one but with better graphics and a few more small bits to justify the price tag. Burnout Paradise, however, changes all that. Straight from the main page you get a taster of what's to come with the main theme tune being Paradise City by Guns n Roses (shock horror on that one!). You're then taken straight into the game ... more

    5 Stars Paradise has takendown all its rivals! 12/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Awesome racing game - massive city

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Overwhelming at first

    Burnout Paradise is the most recent racing (and crashing) game in quite a long series of great, well structured arcade racing games. However this one certainly breaks away from the norm and enters into this new 'open-world gameplay', and in my opinion they have certainly succeeded and have created a massive 30km wide city perfectly suited to Burnout's nature - to race and crash! At first the city can be very overwhelming particularly if you were used to the structure of the previous titles where you merely selected your mode and car and then finished the race. But once you get used to the city ... more

    5 Stars Crashing and Racing Perfection 03/03/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Epic Gameplay, Great Graphics, Wealth of Events, Excellent Online Multiplayer

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Stunt Run game mode, No Splitscreen

    Burnout Paradise is the fifth game in the series of Burnout games but this is the first game to implement free roam into the game system. Firstly, the free roam system that has been included into this game must have given the people at Criterion Games a headache and I was expecting the game to come out as a kind of Need for Speed free roam rip-off. This however doesn't happen, the way how you are involved in the free roam straight from the start of the game is brilliant, to start and event, the only way to do it is to drive to the start point. There are no restrictions on where you can go in ... more
