Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)

...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 ...
...Titles are going these days, Burnout has done away with selecting the race you wish to play from a list and introduced the "drive the city" way, where you have to drive around town looking for races to complete. This has its ups and its downs, YES its more realistic to if you were a "badass street racer" but its hard to keep track of which races you have completed with constantly checking your larger map. You can pull up at any junction, rev your ...

Review of Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)

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 ...
...and the rest of the burnout series is that this one is completely free roaming and tasks are undertaken by going to a specific area on the map instead of just selecting it from the menu. This can work in a good or bad way. Good because it encompasses the whole free roaming this but bad because, if you muck up, it means you have to go all the way back to its position to try again. Personally, I prefer it this way. The free roaming element works hand ...

Review of Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)

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 ...
...and aim to get the Burnout Licence and rove you are the best driver. The better your licence the better cars you can unlock and more challenges can be participated in. If you don't fancy doing any of these races then you can always roam around Paradise City and try and destroy some of those billboards (120) or crash gates (400), or even complete some of the famous stunt jumps (50). If that doesn't take your fancy you can try and set some time records ...

Review of Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)

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 ...
...in the city. Burnout Paradise is also a quick adrenaline filled game with lots of fast paced action. The art-deco world is perfectly sculpted with a jump or stunt opportunity every few hundred meters. This world is also home to many hundreds of collectibles, they are Jumps, Smashes and Billboards. These collectibles are scattered around the city waiting to be discovered but will take a keen eye to spot and a skilful gamer with a lot of spare time ...

Review of Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)

Burnout Paradise, the latest iteration in the Burnout series lets players race, crash and generally cause road rage in the fictional streets of Paradise City, but is it any good? Burnout Paradise has a very simple structure for progress. Race, Win, Progress. This might seem like the game is very boring, it is however quite a fun, thrilling game, that when given the added benefit of Online multiplayer make for a very fun game indeed. The way Burnout ...
...has done very well with Burnout Paradise is implement multiplayer into the game. With a quick tap of the directional-pad you can bring up your friend list, and invite them to your game, or join theirs, making getting into a multiplayer game very quick and painless. Multiplayer in Burnout Paradise is a lot of fun, giving you and 7 friends the opportunity to race, cruise or cause mayhem together in Paradise City. If you get tired of causing chaos, ...

Review of Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)

Burnout paradise is a graphically stunning game, there are 2 main types of this game the original which was released on the 5th of January 2008 and the ultimate box which was released on the 5th of February 2009. I got my burnout paradise city the ultimate box in February which cost me £29.99, because it wasn’t much dearer than the original copy which was priced at £19.99. Burnout paradise is a free roam racing game online and offline. The company ...

...racing games but I'd played Burnout Revenge also on the Xbox 360, and really enjoyed every minute of it. So once I heard that there was a new one being released I was looking forward to it. And I wasn't too dissapointed but there was a few things I didn't like much, such as the fact you have to drive about looking for races, not very easy to get used to map/gps system and no proper crash mode from previous titles. But the good points are that the ...

Review of Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)

...All the usual burnout features are there, and more! However one thing for me is lacking... Cooperative gameplay. Maybe it is just me but when I am playing a racing game I like to be able to do it with my friends, not over the internet but in the same room. Don't get me wrong, the online play is excellent but in my opinion there is just something missing when you are yelling at each other through a mouthpiece and not face to face... In short, a good ...
