Known for its high speed races and brutally realistic crashes, the Burnout series has become a staple for any racing game fans out there. The genre was revolutionized with the 2008 installment, Burnout Paradise, which was the seventh game in the series.

Open world design; Challenging races; Visually impressive

Touchy with crashes

Even when "offline," if you're connected to the internet, the game is still tracking how fast you drive down a road, or, if you do a Showtime, how much damage you've caused and what road you began on.

Remarkable "flow," especially regarding the seamless online integration; Incredibly detailed graphics with spectacular crashes; Sheer amount of bang for your buck

Paradise City is more accurately Paradise Ghost Town; Showtime; while fun; is no replacement for the old Crash mode

Voici donc le dernier né des Burnout avec, au programme, encore plus de takedowns, de crashes et de cascades. Ayant récemment racheté la licence des Need For Speed, Electronic Arts s'est permis d'incruster dans son nouveau titre, le mode de navigation qui a fait son succès.

Des graphismes époustouflants; Une bande son du tonnerre

Trop court

Environment Burnout Paradise has an open environment of over 11 square miles that you can drive. No sections of the city are locked so you are free to roam from the first time you play the game.

Fantastic gameplay; No load screens; ever; Large open driving environment

Can't restart lost races; Mug Shots can show things you and your kids don't want to see

I was excited to get Burnout: Paradise in my hot little hands. I was amped from the second I selected the disc on my PS3's menu and the Burnout License Plate filled the screen while Guns and Roses' song, "Paradise City" filled the room. Luckily, Burnout: Paradise didn't disappoint...

The Burnout franchise risks a new direction, and comes one sequel away from perfection.

Paradise

If you lose a race-and by the way, second and third place are worth bupkus this time-you can't just hit a button and try again; you have to trek all the way back to the starting point, or just write it off and find something else to do

A pain, then, that Paradise features fewer ways to achieve this goal than other Burnout games. And for that, it sits in an awkward middle ground between serious racer and stylized crash fun.

Buckle up and prepare to unleash automotive anarchy in the ultimate burner's paradise. Burnout 5 gives players license to wreak havoc in Paradise City, the ultimate seamless racing battleground, with a massive infrastructure of traffic-heavy roads to abuse.

The difficulty Criterion have had since Burnout 3 is how to top what they've done before. For this, the first "build-from-the-ground-up" high definition Burnout, they at least had the power of the PS3 and Xbox to help in that regard.
