BURNOUT PARADISE IN HELL!
Burnout Paradise is a far worse game than Burnout Revenge. The crashes are not as good and there is no circuit racing! Only in the daytime you can race too! Road Rage is OK though, that is about it. Make the next Burnout better please EA. 2/10. A let down. PS Stunts are difficult.

stupendously fast
the graphics are amazing the crashes are insane and the racing is ridiculously fast and furious, a brilliant game only one player racing but the lack of tracks and freedom to race through the city and takedown other cars makes gameplay gripping, the cars look amazing and the soundtracks great, best racing game ever played

Burnout Paradise
Let me start by saying two things...

1. This is purely an offline review
2. I have only previously played one burnout game (revenge)

Burnout paradise has turned out to be quite a good and really fun game for me. The graphics are nice and sharp with no slip in the framerate even at high speeds which I think is essential for a game which is played at such a fast pace, the gameplay is good and it sounds realistic too.

I have seen some reviews criticising the open format and free burning, like I said at the start having only played one burnout game before so this new format doesnt really bother me all that much. Sometimes it is a little bit frustrating when your at peak burning speed about a mile from the finish and you miss a turning because the road ahead is'nt blocked off like it used to be, but i find this element of the game fun and adds a little more skill to the game (checking your map at those speeds is not east)

There are a wide variety of events to compete in, every set of traffic lights marks the start to an event, whether it be a race,road rage, marked man or a stunt run. There number of cars available is also impressive with 75 to earn overall (i only have about 40 at the minute) obviously the first few cars are a little slow, but the pace soon picks up and each one takes a little bit of getting used to.

Good price, excellent life span (hours of play) without getting too repetitive and just all around great fun. Well worth a buy if you like arcade style racing games.

Adrenalin rush,great fun.
This is my favourite 360 game so far,its just a big adrenalin rush from the minute you start,love the graphics and the fact you can free roam the streets of paradise city,if you want an arcade style racer instead of a racing sim this is the game to go for,very fast and always something happening.five stars from me.love it.

Bring back the old Burnout
I was a huge fan of all of the burnouts since the very first one and 'revenge' is probably the best - i actually completed the single player with perfect in all events.

The new freeroaming burnout is a completely differnt game and i ahve to say i don't like it anywhere near a much. In the old games the 'wrong turns' were blocked off, but they're not in this one leading to some errors at 100mph and more than a little frustration. The level up seems similar to older versions but you seem to ride the same routes at each level just in faster cars and there doesn't seem to be as much variation as in burnout revenge.

Burnot has been great up until now - please bring the old version back Criterion

UPdate - i've just recieved a second hand copy of burnout revenge and i intend to work my way through this better game again. If you have neither i would suggest buying revenge over paradise
