SUMMARY
Burnout Paradise is a game where you drive around a fictional city called Paradise City and compete in various competitions while unlocking new cars. The object of the game is to get an elite drivers license which means beating every competition and unlocking every car.
GAMEPLAY
This game has an amazing visual aspect to it. It is really pleasing to drive around the free roam Paradise City. I really liked the other Burnout games so I was willing to stick with this one. I can see how it would be repetitive and somewhat annoying if you had never played a Burnout game before. There are no characters in this game, only your cars. Each has their own kind of personality, but you don't get emotionally attached to them. Also, there is no story to the game so the only drive you really have to keep playing is to see all the locked cars.
This game is really fun to play. There are all kinds of things to do in Paradise City. Huge jumps, long straight-aways, and much more. One of the objectives of the game is to smash through 120 billboards with your car. Some are only reachable when you get better cars. There are also 50 super jumps you can discover. Last but not least, there were 400 gates you could break through to find certain jumps and short cuts. Once you completed each of those, you were rewarded a car. So there are many different ways of obtaining all the cars. It is hard to get stuck in this game because of all the possibilities.
The game definitely was interesting to play. There are a lot of cool things to see around the city and different areas to explore. This game is a single player game so the only way to play with other people is if you go online. Bystanders to this game were enjoying it. The cars are ridiculously fast and it's exciting to see just how long someone can stay alive while going as fast as they can. The online aspect of this game is pretty fun. You can compete in any of the competitions with up to 8 people. You can also just drive around and run into people or do some cool stunts.
