Burnout Paradise is Criterion’s 5th main game in the Burnout series and what a game it is! It is an open world racing game that sets you in the large coastal town of Paradise City. You drive around doing events like races and the classic road rage. What’s neat about this game is you try to win every way possible. That mostly includes destroying the opponent’s car delaying them before they respawn. every so often when you complete a set number of missions a car enters Paradise City during free roam. Your goal is to destroy or “takedown” the car to add it to your garage. Also every now and then you rank up a licence. When you do that you get a new car and all the stats on your previously done events are reset to let you work toward your new licence
The online is pretty fun also. You choose a group to join and you either do events with them or you just drive around doing stunts and trying to takedown each other. It ends up really fun if 5 people are trying to take you down on top of a parking garage. Sometimes you can show off the places you got to with a jump that you weren’t supposed to be able to go to. Like in the singleplayer there is many things to keep you entertained.
There is many things to do in Paradise city to keep you playing for a hour or two, but after a while I thought all the events where kind of repetitive after two hours. (Espescialy if you got your Burnout Lisence.) So I recommend playing the singleplayer no longer than 2 hours or else it will get repetitive. If it does why not try multiplayer for a while? I thought this was an amazing racing game and will apeal to any racing game fans.
Rating: 9/10
