Burnout Paradise Review

By Chris Hudak

Nobody gonna take my car.

 
Like any first-time visit to the sprawling environments of a strange and gorgeous new city, Burnout Paradise can be overwhelming at first for even the experienced, the street-smart, and the jaded. The Burnout series has always been…
  • New free-roaming world
  • Superb controls, interfaces, and online mode
  • Seamless tutorial
  • Spectacular speed, visceral wrecks
  • Goofy, goofy Showtime function
  • No proper Crash Mode
  • Dude, where's my inertia?
  • Weak cars still way too 'strong'
  • No instant restart for challenges
