BEST DAMN CAR VIDEO GAME IN THE HISTORY OF VECHILE GAMES PERIOD. To bad the online is dead it's depressing but playing this game in its prime was awesome met a lot of cool people, hahahahaha I have no life.
nothing beat this game in its prime. i’d argue and say forza horizon is one of the best car video games but this game was different and special. it’ll always have a place in my heart.
When I'm in races my eyes always flick back and forth between the road and the minimap. It took me ages to get used to, but it gets better, and it keeps you in the action :)
The game took out features that made Burnout Revenge great. Crashing traffic, modes, and the best feature of all...getting to explode your car after you got taken down and destroy other racers in the process.
Spent so many hours on this game. I was a god. Loved the stunts, extreme speed, jumps. played it all the way untill my data got corrupted then cries and never played again. Cant wait for criterion make another installment on the new consoles
Except that criterion won't make another burn out game because they discontinued the series so they could focus more on need for speed, but in my opinion, burn out is a much better series.
It's not really a problem, because you're never far away from another race. Only on the very last races does this have the potential to be annoying, but when you factor in the exploration aspects (finding all the jumps and billboards) and setting gold medal times on every street, there is always something to do near you that will get you where you want to go. This is easily one of the best racing games ever made.
I think some stuff, like restarting events, was added post-launch, but I could be wrong. Still, an incredibly fun game. There's nothing better than being in a road-rage, seeing 5 cars smashing into each other ahead of you, then seeing one get forced into an oncoming taxi, spin out, and flip inches over the top of your car.
I love this game so much, it's a lot more fun than most driving games out (though NFS Hot Pursuit is kinda similar...). I've never been a fan of racing simulators, so this is perfect for me. I still remember when I played B3: Takedown with my friends, now we can play Paradise online. And it still looks beautiful for a game this old.
I'm finally gonna pick this game up. But is there a game of the year edition, or something like that, that combines all pieces of DLC onto one disc? Or do I have to download it all.
Day and night can be turned off. Races can be restarted without driving to the beginning. The navigation system if fine since the hub brings up all upcoming intersections and you have a marker on the mini map telling you the direction you want to be going in. Part of the challenge is that you are given a starting and ending point and how you get there is up to you. It wasn't an oversight it was intentional. If you need a game that holds your hand that much just buy mario kart
Aww this made me realize how precious my ps3 is.. cos i got a ps4 and i haven't played this like since forever.. i plan to sell ps3 with 29 games and with downloaded games inside my ps3.. no way I'm going to sell it lol.. gosh how much I miss the good old memories.. i really love burnout revenge and this and psp version.. wishing that they have it on psn store.. burnout is best racing games ever.. never ever sell your precious ps3 lol.. someday we all have to look back and realize how lucky you are.. damn.. ps1 to ps4.. shit i feel so old already bawahahaha :P
@jpablomlopez Yeah, they added Day and Night times and Bikes, If you want to restart a race you just open up Easy Drive. It's acually easier and has like a couple more hours of gameplay now.
some1 plz respond, im thinkin of gettin this game soon an i was wonderin if the online is any good? is there a community or will i only get into races sometimes
The next burnout should be a sort of best hits collection. The open world of paradise, the road rage of paradise, the crash mode of burnout 3, the racing of burnout 2 and the soundtrack of burnout 1
@deathbyfacebook No you can only unlock them, you can spend real money on a time savers dlc to unlock all the cars straight away if you want. And no, you can't upgrade cars, only change the colour
The difference in Burnout Paradise is where in Burnout Revenge you choose the event and start somewhere predetermined, but in Burnout Paradise you can start the event anywhere and each road has it's records for that event/mode.
Ok I just bought this game (a little late I know) but how do you navigate in this game? When in a race I find that I have to keep hitting select to bring up the map which is both annoying and crap I'm sure there is an art to this , how do others play it I should add I have played every past burnout game on the ps2.
awesome graphics very crisp all running at 60 fps locked without one dip!! this game was way ahead of its time in the racing genre when it came out 5 yrs ago and still to this day is!
@MapleCombat74 Actually thats not what he meant. He's saying if you fail at a race and need to restart it you have to exit the race and drive back to the original start point. I was pointing out that this is no longer true. You can restart the race immediately without making that trip. Didn't say anything about wanting to start a race from the other side of the map. And that is a minor gripe in any case
First game I ever played online just when I got Xbox live. Friendly community and so much to do in the game. Literally spent all day everyday playing it. Best arcade racer out till this date in my opinion
yeah, i downloaded the update soon after and realized you could, but i still preferred non- sandbox burnouts b/c they were more creative and less repetitive.
The thing that really bothers me in this game is that there are no building lights at night, it really feels empty at night with every building and lamp post dark
@MrGundestrup no. it clearly states on the burnout paradise game that if you are a psplus member then you will get the game at no extra charges UNTIL your subscription ends.
@tootiserolll2 i guess you haven't played it? Crash FM is there with plenty of sweet music, faith no more, guns and roses etc. and the driving around the city is fun when you give it a shot cuase of all the jumps and stuff that you fund (and use later in events when you know they're there). and the arrows blocking off the street.... i kinda agree with you. like, it's awesome to pick your own route, but it would have been nice to have blocked off events too.
To restart a race, you have to drive back to the start point. It would help if there was a retry option from a menu on the "you lost" screen, but there isn't. I did well, untill I got the day/night cycle update, then it became mostly unplayable. Don't assume someone is bad at a game if they didn't like it. If you liked it, then ignore my opinion and let it be (GTA4 sucks in my opinion, that doesn't mean other people wont like it). Don't insult those who disagree with you.
just when I saw the title "paradise city" in the video I imidiatly had the song "paradise city" by guns'n'roses in my head and bam u put it into the vid. great! looks like a really fun game. defenetly will get the ultimate box
IGN, you dont need to always look at the map, your blinker lights will tick when the game thinks you should turn right or left, i didnt see this until a few days so. you might miss it.
@DivineBanana I do actually know that. And I was responding to someone who would have known that also. They were bitching about those specific problems well after those updates were made.
"you can't restart races" yes you can , all you have to do is access the menu on the d-pad and select restart event and it sets you back to wear you were
Modnation Racers and Burnout Paradise: The two best racing games ever made. Period. Burnout Paradise is the best, though. Criterion seriously loves it's users. 3$ for their best DLC? Hell yes.
I really wanted to like Paradise city. Loved the older burnouts, and I'm still playing them. While the graphics and music are great, it just didn't do it for me. I liked that there were shortcuts and lots of hidden things, but racing at insane speeds just doesn't mix with checking a map every 3 seconds ... Also, if you haven't bought it yet, beware, on the xbox the update on this game is a few gigs.
Burnout Paradise (with the v1.9 patch)is the BEST ARCADE RACER EVER! It only takes like 24 hours to Platinum but since it is so fun it gives around 80 hours of fun until you 100% your Licence. Then to the Free DLCs which are really fun although some of the challenges are stupid but fun. Surf Island add around 40 hours to the fun, and the other Legendary and Toy cars add fun to the already funny mix, Cops and Robbers adds Competitive MP. And all the DLCs had their price cut by half. 10/10
hey does anyone know the difference between the digital copy and the hard disk? ive heard you get trophies for the downloadable one but do you get the trophies on the hard disk too? and all the dlc with it or do i still have to buy that if i buy the digital copy?
@RC1312Kad Just that mental image made me SO happy. Gotta love the AI sometimes when cars steer away from you just to create a bigger mess haha. Yeah from what I hear some of the refinements were made post release and the game is made much better for them. Just love it
@BeatlesColdplay well they both are totally 2 different games. i mean gt5 is like one of the most realastic racing game ever and burnout is for me one of the most fun-filled racing game i've ever played so it's up 2 u. u like fun or realism ?
@EvilHeadBoy Yeah I know mario kart was a massive clusterfuck of tears, rage and shattered tv screens but there was no confusion with where to go and what to do. It really couldn't have been more straightforward. Give a driving game too many intersections though and eventually all the kids start whining that there isn't an information desk at the corner of every street.
@SeismicPulse well the online is pretty good, is you go on a freeburn online event, you just do what you'd normally do if you'r not racing, but you need to beat your opponents in skills like showtime, drifting, takedowns etc... but a freeburn challenge is just some random challenge, if you dont wanna risk between freeburn online or freeburn challenge, you can do search and choose the game, or you can create one your self. tell me if this helped or confused you. if you need some more help, tellme
@game442 The game didn't come that way right after its release. Criterion changed that after some complaints so don't blame this guy for not knowing because it wasn't there when he reviewed it. That said, IGN doesn't want to go back this far to change a review released two years ago.
Ordered the ultimate box(which contains all the dlcs) for my xbox 360 just for 13 euros gonna have it in a few days looks awesome and i needed a racing game to my colection!
You can restart, and the whole point of the game is to KNOW your path! I don't have to pause while racing! And honestly, I think it's better not to restart, so you can get familiar with the city.
