 Burnout Paradise more like Burnout Fires Of Hell! December 1, 2008
I played the demo about a year ago and recently about 2 months ago I bought the full game.
I started off really liking this game knowing that it will get repetative and that the smart crash effects will eventually start getting old.
When you only have a choice whether to - Race, Stunt Run, Road Rage & be the Marked Man - not to mention - Burning Routes, you will soon realise that the game will become boring with a capital B.
I'm not saying you won't have fun and trying to complete the game 100% will not be easy by all means.
This game is only good to play with about 5 of your friends so it won't feel as boring and that you won't aggravate yourself too much.
What I mean by this is that the Traffic can get bloody annoying and soon the computer will build up a vendetta against you if you keep winning!
There too many faults to name in this game and I was surprised to find what I spent my money on was not worth it - playing the demo is even a smarter choice!
I would only suggest you try out the demo or rent it at least but don't buy this game unless your a complete Burnout Fanatic!
 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...

Burnout - simple really...get a car...smash the heck out of it...WITH YOUR MATES!!!!
This?...no 2 player mode...CRIMINAL!!!!
No it feels like Need for Speed...and what's the point of that?!!??
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.
