| Now this is what I have been looking forward to ever since I got a PS3 - a next generation Burnout. This installment will see a complete rewrite for the series however, by featuring a brand new free roaming system, similar to that of Need For Speed. Everything appears to be seamless, such as the ability to trigger crash mode at any given impact. And of course, the damage system will be much improved, with the implementation of tasty dynamic chassis damage, that will see the chassis wrap around objects on impacts, as well as the possibility of cars being smashed in half. |

| I have played it a fair bit now and, predictably, I am in love with it. The biggest diversion is of course the new free roaming aspect of Burnout, but I don't think it works quite as well as Criterion themselves believe. The simple problem is that there is no option to retry an event and it is very easy to become lost thanks to the games poor excuse of a guide map. Events are also dotted around the map at every junction, meaning you cannot simply jump to any event you want with ease, which somewhat detracts from Burnouts previous arcade pick up and play experience. My other main gripe is the inclusion of showtime, the new replacement of the previously favoured crash mode. Instead of playing like an elaborate puzzle, showtime lets you initiate your car, at any given time, into a high speed rollover, giving you the ability to actively bounce your car across the road for as long as you can keep up your boost by hitting cars. As fun as it can be causing the biggest accident possible, it is not a worthy substitute to the original crash mode in my opinion despite sticking to Burnouts unparalleled lunacy, particularly as there is virtually no strategy involved anymore. The bouncing mechanic can also look ridiculous, looking like something out of Katamari. Despite these few shortcomings, Burnout Paradise is an absolute joy to play. Hours of enjoyment can be had by simply cruising the streets, thanks in part to the games new handling model - the cars finally feel more like cars with the added suspension and handbrake function which works brilliantly. Paradise City itself is also incredibly well realised, with some deliciously slick visuals highlighting the citys polish spectacularly. I have to say, it is also possibly the most well designed fictional city I have seen in a game thus far - there is never a dull moment with the myriad of jump opportunities and other assortments of city furniture to plough into. And then we have the undisputed highlight of the game - the crashes. Destruction has always been a hallmark of the series, but it has never been as eerily realistic as what is presented here. This is the first game to use full chassis damage, resulting in the car decimating as realistically as possible, making it even possible to wrap around objects that you hit convincingly. It really is strikingly realistic, to the point you can see the energy being transfered each impact. It puts all other previous damage models to shame. Online multiplayer also plays a significant part, and, like the rest of the game, is completely seamless and can be accessed by a simple drop down model. From here, you are able to free roam with other players or take up specifically placed online challenges, although it is not too disimilar to Test Drive Unlimited, in some ways. I also can't help admire some of the games novel touches, particularly the passing refernces to the original Burnout titles. The complete soundtrack from Burnout and Burnout 2 has been reprised which injects a hint of nostalgia. Interestingly however, the in house soundtrack that was originally compiled for Burnout 3 before it was EA-ified is also in place. Whilst I haven't exactly completed the game, impressions look strong, but it is not quite the perfect Burnout due to a few of its shortcomings. If anyone has any questions then fire away  -- Last edit: 2008-01-25 21:09:01 |

| In a surprise move, Burnout Paradise is now also coming to PC, a first for the series. Numerous updates are also being released soon for the console versions, including map expansions and even motorbikes, another first for the series. |

| The legendary cars pack will be out this Thursday. As a further note, I will finally get round to updating the IGCD Burnout Paradise page over the coming weeks It will certainly be one large, and belated, page in the end. |

| I hate to say it, but I don't really agree with the downloadable content. Initially, the updates were free and of good quality, but now there has suddenly been an influx of paid downloads. Whilst this wouldn't be a problem if the content on offer was worthy, the fact of the matter remains that the majority of downloads have so far been mere duplicates of existing car models, repackaged with different skins and sold at obscene prices. So far, the only truly original new vehicles have been the Nakamura Rai-Jin Turbo, Hunter Olympus and the bikes, all of which have been free ironically. Hopefully the upcoming Big Surf Island will make up for the lackluster content. -- Last edit: 2009-06-02 02:37:11 |

| How do you take out a car using a bike? |
Star Wars Fanatic 2009-06-03 23:53
| You can't race bikes. |
Star Wars Fanatic 2009-06-05 01:27
| It was just a free download they released to mark the first time that bikes were introduced into Burnout. You couldn't do much with them, they had their own exclusive time events and the crashes were particularly bad as the rider would disappear on impact. |
Star Wars Fanatic 2009-06-12 21:44
| Aside from the Big Surf Island pack, the page should now be complete |
Meowth <="=>. 2009-06-20 20:04
| www.drivearcade.com/games/1215/traffic-slam.html That game is like a free online burnout, & i don't think it's on the site. |
Star Wars Fanatic 2009-06-20 22:18
| The Big Surf Island cars have now been added, so the page is now complete at last! -- Last edit: 2009-06-20 22:19:05 |

| Even after 2 1/2 years, this game is still very popular, and it's very easy to find multi-player rooms with alot of people to this day.. atleast, that's what I get with the PS3 version, since I don't own a 360  |

| they call the Jensen P12 88 Special a DeLorean but they still call the original Jensen P12 and the Track Package a Lamborghini Countach. THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING!!! |

| One of the best games I have ever played. The game not having a restart option is annoying, but the multiplayer is of the best driving game multiplayers ever. The car list is diverse and each car behaves differant. the crashes are truly epic. Once my car nearlly split apart when i hot a post at 250mph. onte side of the car was undamaged, but the other had been pushed to the back. nine out of ten. |
Star Wars Fanatic 2011-05-07 01:37
| Looks like a new Burnout is on its way, but not as you might expect: drivinggamespro.com/news/burnout-crash-now-with-lobster-monsters/ |
matt__jon 2011-05-07 16:31
| Uh... what? Hopefully thats just a mobile phone spinoff Personally I keep hoping they combine Burnout and Black to make the ultimate GTA type game |
stryder237 2011-06-22 16:45
| Possibally a arade download game. |
Lantzs09 2011-06-23 15:48
| What about the Chrome Car. Should that be listed too? |

| Burnout Crash! Sounds good! Hopefully they are working on a new Burnout, more like last generation, and not NFS. Something tells me EA is gonna keep forcing them to do NFS games |

stryder237 2011-09-21 20:42
| Burnout crash was realesed today for 800microsoft points (about £6-£7). You can download the demo for free and you can play 1 of the 18 differant levels(each level has 3 sub levels, acctually giving 54 levels). The game is top down view and very like a pinball game, getting points for differant things, hitting certain things, etc. You can download the demo now. |

| New Burnout CRASH! is released! Make a new cars in Burnout CRASH!. |

| This is my Most Favorite Game of the Burnout series, I think it would have been cool if it had the Crash events. |

| Ya, actually Showtime hehe  . Thanks for the correction pal. |
fellian 2013-02-07 18:08
| If this game had crash aftertouch I'd probably never go back to B3. There's so much more to do |
