While I have read many reviews that say this permutation of the game series is not what they hoped for, I believe that as a first time player to this particular series, the game holds up extremely well. It is a fast paced, heart pounding driving game that allows new comers as well as the jaded players that scream "give me more excitement". The layout is immense, the virtual City is big enough , that getting lost is a reality. The number of mini games within the game itself , are fun and intoxicating themselves, that is so realistic ,that I have trouble remembering not to drive like I do while playing the game when I get behind the wheel off my car. Unlike some strategy games, you don't feel cheated by not being able to unlock everything too quickly, learning the game and getting good at it , is well paced and worth the $60 you have to plop down to get this in your home.
Happy trails,

I have never been a really big fan of racing games. But I have to say i was very interested in BP when I first read about it. As more and more reviews came in, I decided to pick up a copy and give it a try. After around 20 hours of play, both online and off, I have to say that this is a GREAT game. Racing is so good in this, and you get sucked in so well, that when you actually stop playing it, you start thinking about it in your sleep.
If I had to say one bad thing about it, it would be the difficulty of actually finding the finish line at times. I can't tell you how often I was way ahead in a race, took a wrong turn, and then lost the race. I would have liked a "GPS" like system.
You won't regret getting this game. Really. It is fantastic.

I have never played any Burnout game before. I tryed this one out and can't put it down. Online expeience is okay, but the over game maybe got repetative but I still never got tired of it, Because lets just face it crash, race, 75 different cars, large map, awsome grphics, great music, NO glitches, why put the controller down. But One con that i agree with everyone is the driving and looking at the map. Instead i find my self pausing looking at the make and continuing the race every min. To hard to look at the map and drive at the same time.

One of the best driving games in videogame history so far. Ok I've always loved the burnout series and I compare lots of driving games to burnout but I see where the game could be better. Ok, with EA having competion in all areas in the videogame industry I'd say Flatout is their biggest competion and probably one of the driving games that really doesn't get the credit it deserves. In Burnout I don't get the same competive feeling like when playing Flatout. For instance: the graphics on Burnout are a plus but in Flatout I think it has more detail. Dare to compare - In Flatout they have drivers in the car - Burnout doesn't. You get your doors knocked off and no one is in the drivers seat. In Flatout the drivers have names, attitude, can get thrown from the car on a major crash & rank each driver at the end of each race. Burnout doesn't do that. In Flatout if you're on a dirt road the other cars can stir up so much dirt you can't see the road up ahead. Burnout doesn't stir up any dust or road dirt. In Flatout almost everything is destructible. From taking bridges out to blowing up gas stations, car tires flying everywhere etc. Burnout has a few but not nearly as much as Flatout has to offer. Flatout is also about $20.00 dollars cheaper than Burnout with just as much to offer and then some. If EA would quit trying to make more money and focus more on gameplay they could do a lot better. Like the Need for Speed series that EA makes also. How come that game can't just be added into the world of Burnout Paradise or at least branch off from the Burnout series with the same gameplay options? Need for Speed series would rock if it had the same gameplay as Burnout. Or just eliminate the Need for Speed series and import it into the Burnout franchise? With the Burnout gameplay I bet avoiding the police and running them off the road or racing through the city would be a lot more enjoyable. Also A new madden should only come out when they have created new gameplay instead of one every year. Heck you should be able to just update your rosters with a download and keep enjoying the same game you've invested in. But I'm not going to badger EA for doing what they do but if it was all about making gamers happy instead of making more money then the videogame world would be a better place. I still love my Burnout Paradise and the road rage mode is still the best. I just think if the developers are running out of ideas then maybe it's time for them to listen or hire some fresh ideas. Great game but there are some other great driving games out there that deserve to be noticed just as much as Burnout Paradise. 4 stars for being at the top of my list in driving games but unless it gets better I can't say for how long.

Quite possibly the best racing game I have ever played. The freeburn online and the offlinbe portions of the game work seamlessly together and the mugshots and race photos are a tight addition. I absolutely love this game.
