In Burnout Paradise players are treated to a rarity in the video games universe: a complete reinvention of an established franchise that equals, if not betters any of the previous games in the series. Yes, this is a large claim, but one that can be explained in a single phrase: Next-Gen Freedom.

Although the Burnout series' over the top mobile action has been its calling card since it ignited audiences on the PS2 in 2001, and later on the first generation Xbox console, Burnout Paradise is the first game in the series that has been designed specifically for play on Next Generation consoles. This has allowed game developer Criterion to rip the training wheels off the game and rebuild it from scratch. The result is a new, expansive world that players can roll through at will. And what a world it is.Enter Paradise City
Heaven on Earth, at least to road-raging, crash-causing Burnout fanatics, Paradise City is your domain and ultimate proving ground in Burnout Paradise. This expansive driver's playground stretches across 250 miles and encompasses all sorts of road driving conditions, from fun-in-the-sun seaside cruising boulevards, to mountain roads and downtown gridlock. But regardless of what stretch of asphalt you find yourself on, the beauty of this place is that nothing is blocked off and your wits are at least as important as the horsepower under your hood when it comes to racing here. Check out Paradise City's five sub areas (click the links for sample images):- Downtown Paradise City
- Harbor Town
- Palm Bay Heights
- Silver Lake
- White Mountain
Burnout Your Way
Unlike in previous Burnout games, Burnout Paradise not only puts the keys to your ride in your hands, but places you squarely in the driver's seat when it comes to where you can go and what you can do.Along with wide avenues and crowded highways, the open game design of Paradise City is also jammed full of hidden side streets, back roads and alley ways. These can be used as short cuts in races, that is, if you know where they are. As you explore, commit these potential short cuts to memory because they will definitely come in handy in a tight race. And since we are talking Burnout here, players should not expect uneventful, genteel contests of speed and precision driving. In Paradise City players are always free to slam, shunt and wreck opponents in their bids for supremacy and they will. Also, new to the Burnout series, races can now start anywhere, anytime. Just pull up to a stoplight and spin your wheels to start one in one of five different event classes:- Classic Race
- Road Rage
- Burning Route
- Stunt Run (new)
- Marked Man (new)
Instant Online
Burnout Paradise also keeps the mobile carnage coming while simultaneously setting the new standard in online social gameplay. With the new `Easy Drive' feature you can find friends online and with the click of a button invite them to a race. Once they've accepted the race will start immediately. That's right, no more annoying wait times at online lobbies and servers. And keeping in touch with friends is easier than ever.Team up or Takedown
In the winner-take-all universe of Burnout teaming up usually isn't the first option that comes to mind, but on these rough and tumble streets it's a good option to keep in mind. With more than 300 FreeBurn Challenges packed into the game, players always have the choice of going it alone against the field as a whole or joining forces with up to seven of your buddies in user-created race routes. Either way, if you are victorious in your takedown you'll get the chance to talk some trash as you exchange Mugshots with your victim via an optional camera hooked to your gaming system or your gamertag/PSN avatar if you prefer to keep your identity on the down-low.Showtime: Crash Anywhere, Any Time
And finally since a new Burnout release wouldn't be complete without a little something special in the wreckage department, Burnout Paradise continues the carnage with an update of its familiar 'Crash Mode.' Renamed 'Showtime Mode,' players can now crash, bounce and scatter their ride in any location and replay the wreckage over and over in slow motion. One of the most addictive and down right fun features of the game, players activate the mode by simply pulling both triggers on their controller and if they are good enough can also immortalize their Showtime moments on the leaderboards for all to see.Driving fans this is Next-Gen at its best and definitely the Burnout title you have been waiting for.

 Very Fun June 28, 2009
Okay to save people time im just going to say that this game rules.
A must have for anyone. I bought this game along with forza 2 and although there two completelly different games i like this better. One thing that i wish that this game had though was car customization like forza, Forza owns in that catogory. But yah great game i would reccomend to anyone woo!
 now this is what i call a car game! June 28, 2009
the burnout series has been doing great these past few years. this title however does not have the crashes (where you do as much damage as possible to cars, buses, and anything else you could hit and get points for) that made the previous titles so much fun!
burnout paradise has other things that have never been put in a burnout game before too though so i'm okay with the crash mode not being there. it's a huge and immerse experience. this is what need for speed should have been all these years! great game, great add-ons available online, hours and hours and hours of gameplay. i've been playing this game since the day i got it and i'm still playing it! what can i say, you never get sick of it. playing online is a breeze and so much fun as well! definitely get this game if you like cars.
Definitly Worth the Pruchase June 15, 2009
Great game, got it at a great price from here. Definitely worth picking up if you like driving/racing games, the open world is really nice but you are often going so fast it may be a little hard to figure out where your going.
DRUNK DRIVING!!!!!!! May 29, 2009
this game is a lot of fun. pay some xtra money and download the extra cars. my favorite is the night rider car. The only bad thing is it doesnt have multi-player and the destruction event like in revenge. get this game if your just looking for something different then hard gore racing games. PEACE
 Different, innovative, but it lacks the basics of the originals and the cars are so-so. April 12, 2009
I would make some word play by calling this review "Burned-out" but this game dosen't feel old despite being the 5th Burnout title. This game has the fun of the last 2 but this time the creators, for some child-like reason, gave into their dislike for loading screens by giving US and sand box enviorment, so in other words this game is like Midnight Club but without convieniant check points or arrows. You'll be driving +150 with an El Camino wanting to ram you into that oncoming van but oh weight, you gotta pause the game to pinpoint that next turn, then you return to the game only to see your Chevelle wrecked. Many of us are aware that the game lacks a restart option and crash mode but my main complaint is that most of the interesting cars are DLC, that would be okay if this games cretors were nice BUT wait, they want us to pay money! Sure its only a few dollars but come on, thats a few dollars just for some data plus over 40 kind car modellers have contributed cars for Midtown Madness's 1 and 2, the Need For Speed series, the Carmageddon series, and many other PC games, they've done and are doing it for free. Despite the supposed poor shape of our economy, game companies still want your dough. The cars that you get are your average Tuners, muscle cars, and trucks\suvs, no Tow truck or Garbage trucks like before. I'd suggest that you'd pick up Burnout Revenge as its more user friendly or Burnout 3, this game feels incomplete and you can't play split-screen which is a feature that you could find on SNES games.
