The official Burnout Paradise thread
Discussion
Somebody on COD online told me it had gone the way of the Need For Speed series so it really put me off getting it.
Burnout just doesn't seem like a game that I'd want to be free roam.
Also don't like the fact that if you bum out of a race, you can't restart, you've got to drive all the way back there.

ok it does have it flaws but then no game is perfect. Im really enjoying it so far. Only thing i dont like is stunt runs as theyre a bit toughBurnout just doesn't seem like a game that I'd want to be free roam.

I only got this today - enjoying it so far, though slightly irritated you cant restart a race, or try again if you lose...
but hey, other than that, its great, love the soundtrack..
does online races count towards your licenses or is it just the single player that does? tempted to venture online..

I rented this the other day and glad I did instead of just buying it. Wasn't overly amazed with the game and found it rather tideous after a while, dont get me wrong it is a great game, looks fantastic, great soundtrack etc but just lacks in the long term entertainment department. On the plus side I loved the arcadey quick drive and smash feeling to it, also liked the sandbox idea, worked great with Burnout.
But hey, just my opinion!

yeah, but thats what ive always liked about burnout - its something you can pick up and put down very easily...
Just been online - as far as i can tell, its like a sandbox, you join a 'room' and drive around (have stats who does best at drifts etc as you do) until the host starts a race, then you all jump into race mode (With a chance to change your car).. and once thats over, back into the sandbox.
There appears to be challenges as well, such as achieving certain things at a specific point (i.e. barrel roll at the beach).

Will be on over the weekend I expect.Great fun and some of the crashes definitely had me wincing! The slow-mo car deformation is quite convincing I thought

It's crap.
Bought it last night at Asda and it's on Ebay already.
It was interesting for about an hour....very disappointing.
On a plus note though, whilst at Asda I managed to pick up a Wii, which are still like hens teeth round here.
See how long it takes to get that Ebayed!
