 Wrecking Good Time August 17, 2008
This game is amazingly fun and addictive. I'm disappointed only in myself for not having picked it up sooner. I didn't play enough of the demo to really understand how awesome it is.
For those of you who like building your own rides and customizations, this isn't that type of game. You win cars through races and running others off the road, and you might get a paint job you like by running through a paint shop. That's it.
Highlights, since most people covered aspects of the game ...
Online is great. What I didn't like about GT5:P was that the online play was choppy. Here, it's smooth and quick. Hardly any waiting at all. The worst thing is that you might get dropped into a map where you're on one side of the city and everyone else is on the other. Speaking of online and maps ... know your way around. Some of the other players have been playing a while and they know where to go. Learn about the city so you can keep up in challenges.
The challenges, online and offline, are excellent. Standard races, road rage, marked man, stunts ... all of them are well done. I'm not real great at stunts yet ... I need practice there. When I get online and someone starts a stunt run, I just go hunting for whoever is winning and play "marked man". :)
With the price drop, this game is more than worth it now. I can't stop playing and I'm not the least bit sad about that right now. Huge fun.
Terrific Game!!! August 9, 2008
Criterion Games has hit one heck of a home run with this installment of the Burnout series. Paradise is a masterpiece. I liken it to the GTA III installment. (to be clear, it is nothing like GTA, it is as much an accomplishment in game development as GTA III was) The game is huge and really makes you develope considerable skills if you dare to try and completely beat the game.
Criterion has not stopped with the release disc. They have already had 2 updates, one of which was very big. The largest update, codenamed Cagney, included new cars, more online challenges, and 3 new game play modes for online. Not to mention the bug fixes you expect.
Upcoming release information can be found on the Criterion Games website. Motorcycles are coming soon, with an update that will look to open up almost as much space as is already available.
If you like driving games, this is positively a must have!!! Don't miss out on all the fun. Hope to see you online!!!
Big Fat Fun July 12, 2008
This game is big fat summer fun. I'm looking forward to the patch that lets you play your own music, because their selection is less than stellar. There are hardly any load times, so you're alway playing too.
fantastic graphics July 10, 2008
overall gameplay is fun and addictive, but what sets this game apart from others are the graphics. best of any ps3 game I have played. it shows what the system can do, driving around at 200 miles per hour in HD,awsome
Underated Game June 25, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
A lot of people let this game pass them by. It's a great game that has a great developer that is willing to support it. This game has tons of cars to unlock and the online is really good. I've put over 100 hours in the game and I can say that I've enjoyed almost every minute of it. The graphics are top notch and each car has a personality. Don't let this game pass you by. There is free dlc coming soon, including custome soundtracks. If you like to race, or just drive around in a digital world, you'll enjoy the game.
Not all is perfect in this paradise though. The way the games event system is set up is you have to be at a certain point on the map. If you fail the event, you have to drive all the way back to restart. It can be a pain later in the game when you only have a few events left. But it doesn't deter from the funness(not really a word) of the game. Secondly is the pretty annoying soundtrack. How Avril Lavinge(sp?) ever got on a racing game soundtrack is beyond me. The later is being fixed with an update though.
Get this game. You won't regret it.
