Burnout Paradise Reviews

Burnout is a game that I always have enjoyed I am not the biggest racing fan but when it comes to smashing cars then I enjoy it. Burnout we all know started in 2001 which was then published by Acclaim Entertainment in 2004 EA took over publishing the game still with Criterion Games still developing the series.

Burnout has really changed specially in Paradise for one the crash mode has been removed which to me is disappointing as it was my favorite mode to appear in the series. The big change to the game is that it is open road and you can go where you want which I certainly like this change I think it's a good change to the series as it's something new. The graphics are fantastic the places cars the smashes all look realistic it does look fantastic. In Burnout your going to have to stunts, race, escape from other cars trying to smash up yours, as well as smashing other cars so that you can use them if you know what I am talking about.

The soundtrack to the game is pretty much the same as Burnout Dominator but Paradise has more music in it a lot of rock music and classical. The main theme to this game is Guns N Roses - Paradise City which does suit the game. But I wonder why the hell Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend is on the soundtrack it doesn't really suit the game. One song that feels that is appeared a lot is N*E*R*D - Rock Star (Jason Nevins remix) it has already appeared in SSX 3, Burnout Dominator then its back in Burnout Paradise which I have to admit it is annoying but thankfully you can skip the songs you don't like or just turn them off

I am surprised that EA have still kept the online going I know after a while they turn it off but in 2009 they did say new cars and stuff are been added to the game which I am certainly happy about. The online is decent you can crash into others race against them you can hear other people online chat but I just turn them off I don't chat on it. I think this is a great Burnout game it's like each series of the game it keeps getting better this game is a must own.

The only major downfall for this game is you can only play 1 player offline it makes no difference to me but anyone who wants to play the game with friends are going to have to do it online with a separate console. Oh yeah I hated the fact it look me about 40 minutes to install or updating it now that really did annoy me just warning other player about how long it will take.
