 An amazing title! Brilliant, fast and sheer metal crunching bliss! September 22, 2008
Burnout Paradise takes all the best elements of the previous Burnout titles and makes one of the best free roaming, car crashing racers availiable today!
You compete in any event of your choice by pulling up to any set of traffic lights and peeling out to begin a race. There are several racing types which are great fun but can get a little tiresome after a while in single player. Online is definately the best way to enjoy Paradise City whether with friends or total strangers!
The game is daunting to begin with, especially with all the possible routes to take. But once you get the hang of the city, it becomes a whole new experience and one you'll find tricky to put down.
I personally would recommend this to any racing fan, but it does depend if you prefer rules or utter freedom.
 Great Graphics but gets boring quickly August 23, 2008
Graphics in this game will completely blow your mind but play it for more than 10 hours and I assure you, you will get bored. I still believe that burnout 3 was the best burnout ever, I would not recommend that you buy this game. Buy something like Gran Turismo 5 or Race Grid.
 The Perfect Game July 29, 2008
I bought this game and didn't start playing until six months after the day I bought it, I didnt think I will get into and I kept leaving for later...One day I was really bored and didn't have anything else to do, and that is when the addiction started...
This game is perfect, first of all the offline mode has alot of things that will keep you busy, the races, the challenges, the speeding, everything...then if for any reason you get bored of the offline mode, go online, that is when another addiction will start...there are around 350 online challenges and another new 70 online timed challenges...that is alone will kee you busy enough...
There is also another cool new feature which is playing your own soundtracks in the game, you can also check your progress online through the developers website...there is also the new trophies system which will be retroactive meaning that whatever you finished you will be rewarded for without having to play through it again...
one last thing I liked about this game is if you are intoo collecting stuff such as the billboards, jumps and smashes and u have a few of them left for you to collect, you can upload your saved file into the developer's website and they will generate a map for you directing you to where are the left items for you to go and collect, and this feature is only for the PS3 version of the game...so enjoy that PS3 lovers...
I will give this game a 5/5 stars rating, it deserves every single star...
Best Racing Game This Generation July 12, 2008
Simply fantastic. The sense of speed is amazing and drifting feels so satisfying. Challenges are great and there are loads of things to do in Paradise City besides just racing. Online mode is extremely fun and the developers create some fantastic updates for you to download for FREE, for example, the update on thursday brought custom soundtrack to the game aswell as loads more cars and challenges. An update coming next month will include MOTORBIKES, pure bliss.
Excellent driving game with fantastic developer support.
Burnt-Out July 9, 2008

Why does this game feel so empty?
I've played many a burnout game beforehand.
It took me a while to figure out why.
A Lack of structure.
Its bereft of different things to do
Its missing features such as Crash mode, something i loved.
Its also missing aftertouch badly.
For some reason the streets feel lifeless, maybe because it feels like theres a lil less cars, not as much other damage to cause and enjoy.
A fine online mode and the excellent graphics save it...
well almost, they need to destory the "DJ" who almost ruins the experience for me... he needs an off switch.
Still a fine game though and with great updates planed so its well worth it for the right price.
