Burnout Paradise for the Xbox 360 and PS3 - A Must-Own Racing Game
January 30, 2008
Burnout Paradise for the Xbox 360 and PS3 drove into town with high marks from:
- GameSpy (Score: 4.5 out of 5) Xbox 360 Review - … there’s so much to do and wreck that you’ll invest tens of hours in single-player before you even tap the d-pad to jump into the online experience. Paradise is undoubtedly the first must-own racing game of 2008. PS3 Review
- GameSpot (Score: 9 out of 10 - Editors’ Choice) Xbox 360 Review - It’s entirely possible that some people might not enjoy Burnout Paradise’s significant shift in direction, specifically those who simply wanted another incremental Burnout sequel. Indeed, Paradise is anything but incremental, and while it might prove a polarizing experience for some, most will likely appreciate what a radical overhaul this game really is. The open-world design isn’t just a lazy gimmick–it’s a wonderfully executed concept that doesn’t rob the game of the series’ most beloved tenet: the act of driving fast and wrecking hard. PS3 Review
- IGN (Score: 8.8 out of 10 - Editors’ Choice Award) Xbox 360 Review - … Criterion has once again delivered a racing experience that can best be described as controlled chaos, one where even crashing is immensely rewarding. If you’re even a remote fan of racing games, be sure to check this out. PS3 Review
This is a must-own driving game.
