Manufacturers Description

Burnout Paradise gives players license to wreak havoc in Paradise City, the ultimate seamless racing battleground, with a massive infrastructure of traffic-heavy roads to abuse. Gone is the need to jump in and out of menus and aimlessly search for fun like many open world games; in Burnout Paradise, every inch of the world is built to deliver heart-stopping Burnout-style gameplay. Every intersection is a potential crash junction and every alleyway is an opportunity to rack up moving violations.

Of course, rules are made to be broken, and when Burnout Paradise gamers enter Paradise City, they’re assigned a Drivers License that quickly begins to amass a record of player’s most aggressive, reckless and destructive exploits behind the wheel. But it’s not the law that’s eyeing Burnout Paradise player’s progress ... when gamers push things too hard they’ll be squaring off against the city’s most infamous burners, and these legends aren’t interested in who crosses the finish line first.

Burnout Paradise Features:

  • Seamless: Burnout: Paradise is all about having an open-world gameplay experience.
  • Explore: The entire world of Burnout Paradise is unlocked from the start.
  • Burn the competition: There are 34 AI drivers in Burnout Paradise all present from the start of the game.
  • Free-roam: The player starts each Burnout Paradise session in free-burn, with no set path through the game.

Burnout Paradise takes a different path than previous games in Criterion's racing series. Rather than simply hopping behind the wheel of a classy car and driving through a series of pre-loaded racing events, you must navigate through a living, breathing city to find your challenges. Paradise City divides into eight separate quadrants, all interconnected through streets, shortcuts and overpasses. You'll cover this terrain repeatedly, going from one part of the city to the other as you participate in numerous events.

These events vary, similar to those introduced in other Burnout games. Road Rage requires you to destroy as many vehicles as you can before you run out of time or trash your vehicle beyond repair. Routine races pit you against other drivers in a battle for a first place victory. Best of all, the new Marked Man stages offer their own unique thrills, as you attempt to survive a "point A to point B" run while avoiding other cars. There are other events that are unlockable with certain cars, but you'll get most acquainted with these three.

Wikipedia bar Event Types
  • Race: Races consist of the player and at least 1 other car. The player is given a location to race to. The player can take any route through the city to the location with the aid of a flashing road names at the top of the screen when the player is advised to turn. First one to arrive wins. This is the only available mode online. Online races can also include checkpoints that need to be crossed before reaching the finish.
  • Road Rage: The player is given a target number of takedowns and a timelimit. A Road Rage event is won by meeting or exceeding this target in the given timelimit.
  • Marked Man: In this event, the player is given a destination. At least 1 opponent is trying to stop the player from reaching the destination by scoring takedowns against them. The player must survive from start to finish in order to win (the player can crash/be taken out, but loses the event if he totals the car).
  • Stunt Run: Players are given a target score. They must earn points towards that score by using boosts, jumps, drifts and other such stunt moves.
  • Burning Route: Each Burning Route requires the player to use a specific car. Once the player is driving the required car, they race against the clock to a specified location. When a Burning Route is won the player wins an upgraded version of the vehicle they completed it with. The upgraded vehicle can boast extra boost power, more base speed or a stronger body (but usually in exchange for another category). This is the only kind of event that doesn't reset when the player earns a new license because its tied to the car used to run it rather than the license level the player is presently at.

Reviews for Burnout Paradise:
DarkZero review: "Well, there’s no question Paradise takes Burnout to a whole new level. Is it better though? Personally I’m inclined to think not. The open world city has definitely made for more expansive gameplay, but it’s created too many problems, making...."

Gamers Temple review: "Overall, Paradise City is a great arcade racer in spite of some annoying navigational issues. The open world play fits the Burnout series perfectly, and Paradise City takes the series in a new and exciting direction."
