 Great Graphics but gets boring quickly August 23, 2008
Graphics in this game will completely blow your mind but play it for more than 10 hours and I assure you, you will get bored. I still believe that burnout 3 was the best burnout ever, I would not recommend that you buy this game. Buy something like Gran Turismo 5 or Race Grid.
 The Perfect Game July 29, 2008
I bought this game and didn't start playing until six months after the day I bought it, I didnt think I will get into and I kept leaving for later...One day I was really bored and didn't have anything else to do, and that is when the addiction started...
This game is perfect, first of all the offline mode has alot of things that will keep you busy, the races, the challenges, the speeding, everything...then if for any reason you get bored of the offline mode, go online, that is when another addiction will start...there are around 350 online challenges and another new 70 online timed challenges...that is alone will kee you busy enough...
There is also another cool new feature which is playing your own soundtracks in the game, you can also check your progress online through the developers website...there is also the new trophies system which will be retroactive meaning that whatever you finished you will be rewarded for without having to play through it again...
one last thing I liked about this game is if you are intoo collecting stuff such as the billboards, jumps and smashes and u have a few of them left for you to collect, you can upload your saved file into the developer's website and they will generate a map for you directing you to where are the left items for you to go and collect, and this feature is only for the PS3 version of the game...so enjoy that PS3 lovers...
I will give this game a 5/5 stars rating, it deserves every single star...
 Best Racing Game This Generation July 12, 2008
Simply fantastic. The sense of speed is amazing and drifting feels so satisfying. Challenges are great and there are loads of things to do in Paradise City besides just racing. Online mode is extremely fun and the developers create some fantastic updates for you to download for FREE, for example, the update on thursday brought custom soundtrack to the game aswell as loads more cars and challenges. An update coming next month will include MOTORBIKES, pure bliss.
Excellent driving game with fantastic developer support.
Burnt-Out July 9, 2008

Why does this game feel so empty?
I've played many a burnout game beforehand.
It took me a while to figure out why.
A Lack of structure.
Its bereft of different things to do
Its missing features such as Crash mode, something i loved.
Its also missing aftertouch badly.
For some reason the streets feel lifeless, maybe because it feels like theres a lil less cars, not as much other damage to cause and enjoy.
A fine online mode and the excellent graphics save it...
well almost, they need to destory the "DJ" who almost ruins the experience for me... he needs an off switch.
Still a fine game though and with great updates planed so its well worth it for the right price.
Burnout Heaven with a liitle bit of Hell missing May 25, 2008

I've been a master of all the series so far and have marvelled at the quality that each offering made to take it to the next level. Paradise is an interesting offering for next gen consoles. Open city (GTA style) and open levels. You decide at any given moment whether you complete races, stunts and takedowns. In between it allows for collecting items around the city including jumps, sign destruction and shortcuts. The only reason this didn't get five stars was the lack of crash mode. Criterion have substitued this with a 'Showdown' mode. You drive fast, hit two buttons and try and crash into anything that moves for points. I would have prefered the old style levels where you knew what you had to try and hit to complete the level. It would of also looked awesome with the graphics this title possesses. Online mode for me is a bit hit and miss. Sometimes too many things to aim for can make the gameplay a bit messy. If you're a fan, buy it. If you like GT, then this isn't for you.
