Burnout Paradise demo rolls onto Xbox 360, PS3

EA released a three level demo of the next-gen racer for both PS3 and Xbox 360 on Thursday.

It's demo time!

It's demo time!

Available now at the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace, the Paradise demo features three playable levels including three-person online play.

We downloaded and compared both versions side-by-side this afternoon, and after a cursory inspection, here's what we know. The PS3 version looks shinier. The Xbox 360 version has rumble. So its pretty much a wash.

More impressive, however, is the games fresh take on the genre. There are no game menus; a voice tutorial helpfully leads the way. It can take a while to get your bearings before running jumps, turning tricks, and winning races, but Paradise show promise in one of the meatiest demos released this year.

The full version hits January 25, 2008. You can check out our latest preview here.
