Fair. I have fallen in love in 'Burnout" since I have played 'Burnout 2: Points of impact', and I have never left this game in the drawer. Since then, the franchise had more ups then down, especially with the back then all-new takedown. I have also bought both games for the PSP, and they were as good as their predecessors. Anyway, Burnout Paradise in a nice game. Why is it only Nice? Well, lets start with the fact that there are not a lot of new things in it. Couple of races, road rages and other events but no 'crash mode'. Instread you have the "Showtime" (L1+R1) which is dissapointing ans useless. The game gets pretty boring after a couple of races, but I praise Criterion for releasing updates quickly- the bikes, day time and party pack gives a nice twist to the game. Also, you have to be a navigator (or at least have good guiding sense) in order to succeed in races. You can easily find yourself going at the wrong way because of a turn, which is extremely frustrating, especially if you were as the first place. In past burnout games you had a route which was closed in other sides, but because of the "open-world", now you can get lost. So, I give this game 3 out of 5, and I hope that Criterion Games will make Burnout 6 better than Paradise.
Gets boring quick I like the open world idea but the way it's executed in this game it's like a competition between who's the best navigator not driver. They traded the ultra fun over the top burnout style for realism, and I must say I'm disappointed. Burnout Dominator forever!

Pretty Fantastic This game is great. The DL packages are awesome. It's just a shame this Asian version doesn't have the sponsor cars that are in the US and UK versions. Apart from that, top game. Fun and Addictive.
New dlc coming 18th sept, BIKES! The Bikes Pack will include two motorcycles suitable for tooling around the city, along with the option of male or female riders. The bikes won't be the only new additions, as Criterion is also adding a motorcycle license progression, day-night cycles, changing weather, 70 new Freeburn challenges, and more!
