Burnout Paradise... (Game Rocks) Oct 12, 2008
ok well this game is totally awsome, the bikes update was amazing and everything and plus thats the reason i bought it, was for the bikes and they were everything expected... this game is an overall amazing game and theres not much bad a person could say about it except that it should have like ofline multi-players besides just playing online with peeps, but besides that tha game rocks... and the trophies are like easy to get also etc. just one thing you gotta keep your speed up to win, so work hard at it and you'll become a prodigy, plus you can pull of so many tricks etc its just amazing :=)..
 Just a super game Oct 11, 2008
Very engrossing and plenty of sustained fun for my 14 year old son. Graphics are awesome and the controls are very responsive. Great selection of tracks too. The only negative I came across is the weak music selection. Apart from that I'm very happy!
 Aargh... Insipid and Bore. Oct 10, 2008
I'm new to VideoGaming. And, this is the first game I played on PS3. Was very excited about it until I played for 10 minutes. There is no objective in the game as such. You just have to drive around in the city. I really got DIZZY after few more minutes, due to poor high-speed simulation. Will never play again.
Easy to Pick Up, Easy to Put Down Oct 06, 2008
Been a fan of the series since Burnout 2:Point of Impact and on to Takedown and Revenge.. I loved the series enthusiastic pursuit of outrageous speed, cinematic crashes, and beautifully rendered environments.
My problems with this title are 2:
Bland online gameplay... I tried several servers available to me and after the fifth one, I had had enough of listening to garbled bluetooth chatter and people just aimlesssly driving around. There didn't seem to be much in the way of structured race events, more like open ended goal oriented driving assignments.
& One huge interconnected environment...
I personally prefer racing games that offer varied and more difficult tracks, so you hone your driving skills the more you play, as opposed to a great big city that you have to LEARN to exploit it's secrets. Remembering which intersections have shortcuts or checking the map when your doing 200 mph usually caused a wreck more often than success for me. After a while, I got with the program and moved up.
I just prefer the older structure of the games... Paradise feels to me more like a first effort at an online world. Beautiful, with dazzling speed, but without that addictive 'Can't wait to beat that next track' feeling. There's nothing about it's presentation that isn't top-notch.. but it's online design seemed vague to me.
Easy to pick up, but easy to put down.

Intense Oct 04, 2008
Burnout Paradise in my book is easily one of the top 5 PS3 games so far, it's fast, it's intense and it looks darn pretty. Unlike previous Burnout games this takes place in a free roam environment known as Paradise City. You're a racer of no particular name or gender, you have no particular purpose other than to win the numerous car races going on around Paradise City. The side missions are simple and in a way kind of boring or pointless, they are either smash through gates, jump over stuff or smash billboards.
The lack of any sort of storyline and the existence of repetition, I guess brings up the question "So why 5 stars?" Well that's simple, with all that aside this game is still awesome on a magnificent scale. The variation of cars the different race types and the fact that you can initiate showtime mode (Crash mode of the new generation) anywhere and any time. The game looks perfect and crashing one of these cars is both dramatic and in another sense pretty.
Road Rage is my personal favourite mode as those familiar with the old games will know what this mode is about. The concept is generally the same, make your fellow racers crash in a blaze of twisted metal to gain the win. This mode is the most fun simply because of the intensity and speed of it all, it's a mode and a game that tests your reflexes as you really have to be quick to survive.
They also now have a mode similar called Marked man, it's simply a game of getting from A to B without being taken down by 2 other cars whos simple goal is to take you down. This is relatively fun but when in a strong enough car it's pretty damned easy.
Over the past few weeks Burnout has gotten a number of new updates including Bikes and Trophies. These give the game a whole new dimension and with the news that a new Island is just around the corner the game only seeks to get better and better.
An awesome game that even with its flaws is still massively entertaining.
