The Ultimate Driving Experience

This game is has brung Burnout into next gen. Over 150 miles of road, online in 3 buttons, and 83 cars makes this game a must buy. It is super fun and you can spend hours just crashing. This game sucks on the 3Shitty though and got way better reviews on the ps3 and had it's own commercial for the ps3 cause ps3 is better. This game was also very anticipated considering the demo released 1 and a half months from the release. I think this game is sutible for all driving lovers. You can spend hours with ramps, races, and the most importanly... CRASHES!

Red line racer, with a full tank.

This title is the best in the series by far, but we all knew it would not be a let down. Beautifully constructed city by Criterion, nice paint job custom feature, as fast as you can expect from the next-gen Burnout and then some nitrous. I have only two small qualms with the title, the soundtrack lacks luster (appreciate the old Techno Burnout tracks). The other being no way to set your own postmarks on the open world or even just on the map. I guess that makes it more real to have to memorize every street and intersection to master Paradise City. Wonderful job Criterion if I gave out 5 out of 5 willy nilly you would get one easier for sure.

Take Me Down To The Paradise City!

This game rocks! The graphics are the best I've seen in a while, the sound (if you're connected to HDMI) is extremely loud and detailed, gameplay is easy enough, and the challenges aren't really challenges, but 100+ minigames held at every stoplight. I don't know much more that I could tell you that the official review didn't, but the events are: Road Rage, my personal fave, where you have to takedown (Burnout lang, means crash) the number of enemy cars, Marked Man, where the cars are chasing you, and you have to make it to the destination point without being totaled, Stunt Runs, where you have to pull off huge aerial stunts, drifts, spins, everything you can possibly do to rack up your score, and to reach the target score, Races, where you race. Duh. And Burning Routes, where you have to use a specific car, and get to the destination point (usually across the city with tons of traffic.) in the time limit. Don't get wrecked, cause that'll eat up your time. Basic controls for ps3: X button for boost, Square button for Ebrake, great if you miss a turn, Triangle button to change your view, car view, or mirror view. L1 button is for looking back and going left in Showtime mode, R1 button for changing the track playing and going right during Showtime mode, Brake and Reverse is L2, Speed up is R2. Press the 2 together at a stoplight, and you'll trigger an event. Showtime is triggered by pressing the L1 and the R1 buttons at the same time, and moving the camera around is the Right stick. Moving around is left stick, Duh. That's basically all you need to know about Burnout Paradise! The rest, you can find out in the GamePro review!
