 Criterion are absolute stars November 30, 2008
This game is probably the most cared for and looked after games by it's developers. Criterion Games. Now I know that's a strange start to this review but i'll explain. It was created from the ground up to be a game that was made for the consumer, the actual game player. They started working on this game before Burnout Revenge came out. And it shows. Starting with the environment the game is set. 250 sq. miles of city, town, village and mountain roads. Every road, corner, cut through, jump, tunnel, short cut all highly detailed, starting with the materials used, litter, grass, mud, rivers road signs. Through to traffic, parked cars, lakes, landmarks, buildings, skyscrapers, suspension bridges, and dams. All placed and worked out along the Burnout premise of speed and dramatic gameplay. Then the cars, which have been created with the same amount of time and thought. At the time of this review there are 79 cars, each unique. 3 types of boost, and handling ability. So that some >> continued in comments...

Save your money...and play Burnout Revenge.
 An amazing title! Brilliant, fast and sheer metal crunching bliss! September 22, 2008
Burnout Paradise takes all the best elements of the previous Burnout titles and makes one of the best free roaming, car crashing racers availiable today!
You compete in any event of your choice by pulling up to any set of traffic lights and peeling out to begin a race. There are several racing types which are great fun but can get a little tiresome after a while in single player. Online is definately the best way to enjoy Paradise City whether with friends or total strangers!
The game is daunting to begin with, especially with all the possible routes to take. But once you get the hang of the city, it becomes a whole new experience and one you'll find tricky to put down.
I personally would recommend this to any racing fan, but it does depend if you prefer rules or utter freedom.
 Great Graphics but gets boring quickly August 23, 2008
Graphics in this game will completely blow your mind but play it for more than 10 hours and I assure you, you will get bored. I still believe that burnout 3 was the best burnout ever, I would not recommend that you buy this game. Buy something like Gran Turismo 5 or Race Grid.
The Perfect Game July 29, 2008
I bought this game and didn't start playing until six months after the day I bought it, I didnt think I will get into and I kept leaving for later...One day I was really bored and didn't have anything else to do, and that is when the addiction started...
This game is perfect, first of all the offline mode has alot of things that will keep you busy, the races, the challenges, the speeding, everything...then if for any reason you get bored of the offline mode, go online, that is when another addiction will start...there are around 350 online challenges and another new 70 online timed challenges...that is alone will kee you busy enough...
There is also another cool new feature which is playing your own soundtracks in the game, you can also check your progress online through the developers website...there is also the new trophies system which will be retroactive meaning that whatever you finished you will be rewarded for without having to play through it again...
one last thing I liked about this game is if you are intoo collecting stuff such as the billboards, jumps and smashes and u have a few of them left for you to collect, you can upload your saved file into the developer's website and they will generate a map for you directing you to where are the left items for you to go and collect, and this feature is only for the PS3 version of the game...so enjoy that PS3 lovers...
I will give this game a 5/5 stars rating, it deserves every single star...
