See moreBurnout Paradise is all about cars and racing, featuring the widest range of cars. Each road has its own Time Trial and Stunt modes and the soundtrack is stunning. You are free to drive over a huge plot of land surrounding Paradise City and its outlying countryside. You will go through desolate urban alleys or shoot up across a rocky railroad trestle. Burnout Paradise is so perfect that you can actually feel the exhilarating thrill of speed and surpassing all obstacles. Paradise City includes many hidden secrets to be discovered, such as Super Jumps, shortcuts, gas stations, targets to demolish, and so on. You will experience unique rides and aggressive enemies in Stunt Runs, Road Rage and Marked Man. Drivers must be fast in knocking opponents off the road. It is so fun and addictive that you’ll want to surpass over everything to come out as a winner. Reaching the finish line in one piece requires good ability, thinking skills and luck. According to some reviews not all players are happy with the setup as one cannot straight away retry an event after failing. However every single junction in Paradise City allows an opportunity for victory. A few players find that some missions feel like errands, the game lacks progression and is a bit shallow.

Reviewer: review.review-hacks.com1 week ago- Overall 8
Do you like fast cars? Do you like to see things smash? Are you a burnout? If the answer to all three of my rather childish inquiries is yes, than you gotta check this game out. Criterion Games takes a new approach to it's successful series of burnout games and places you smack dab in the middle of a massive city where you essentially do whatever the bleep you want. Drive around, see the sites, hop online for a quick multiplayer match then go explore some more. It's a... Read more

Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box

L et me start this review off by saying that for the record, I’m not a huge fan of racing games. Heck, even in real life I’m not much of a driver – I’m one of those people you’ll find driving on the last lane of the freeway with their left indicator on for the next 4 kilometres. Having got that off my chest, I must admit that I had a ridiculous amount of fun playing Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box on the Playstation 3. Having not had a chance to play the... Read more

Burnout Paradise
Reviewer: Playstation Illustrated28 February 2009- Overall 10
I was excited to get Burnout: Paradise in my hot little hands. I was amped from the second I selected the disc on my PS3's menu and the Burnout License Plate filled the screen while Guns and Roses' song, "Paradise City" filled the room. Luckily, Burnout: Paradise didn't disappoint... Burnout: Paradise is a very, very pretty game. From the detail in the environment to the lighting effects, Paradise is the best looking Burnout game yet - and the games in the Burnout series... Read more

All the events save for the “Burning Routes” can be done with any car but having the right car for an event could be the difference between the sweet taste of victory and the bitter taste of defeat. As you win more and more events you will begin to amass a junk yard full of speedy steel. They are classed into three categories for your easy perusal: speed, stunt and aggression class. As I said earlier, to get some new wheels you will need to race in the events... Read more

Burnout Paradise
Reviewer: review.savingprogress.us25 May 2008- Overall 6
A pain, then, that Paradise features fewer ways to achieve this goal than other Burnout games. And for that, it sits in an awkward middle ground between serious racer and stylized crash fun. Read more

Terrible sim, good "smash-up giggle" game
Reviewer: Michael T. Burr "mtburr", Amazon5 days ago- Overall 4
Fun: If you're looking for a racing simulator, or even a driving simulator, you should look somewhere else because you won't find it in Burnout: Paradise. This game is more like a dumbed-down, E-rated Grand Theft Auto than it is a racing simulator. If that's what you want, then this is the game for you. But be warned, this is a juvenile game with very little sense of realism at all. The city is pretty well rendered and it's kind of a hoot to drive around crashing into... Read more

Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
Reviewer: Adriano T, Metacritic29 March 2009- Overall 7
It´s fun to play and there are lots of tasks to accomplish, but every time you go on a track with ondulations it´s like your head is being hammered. And while outside car view spins a lot, the inside makes you feel with the nose on the ground. Read more

Burnout Paradise for PlayStation 3
Reviewer: Kat M., review.azze.com15 March 2009- Overall 10
This one's much different than all the other Burnout games because you're able to roam the city freely, stop at intersections to start races, and cause all sorts of other mischief. You can play with friends online, with a maximum of 7 other people...Great fun to be had with other speed demon buddies. There is plenty of downloadable content so the game is always changing. You can find everything from totally different new cars to new sections of the map. Because of this,... Read more
