Burnout Paradise Review IGN

[MegaBrendan16]

got it on playstation store as download for 20 bucks and is awesome like

[PatMurph245]

if i hear paradise city again i'm going to cut someones head off.

[FastMovesRofl]

Take me down to the paradise city whoo oo oo oo ooooo XD

[Wicachow]

I love how they complain about how the routes can be whatever you choose in this game but in NFS they complain how the races have borders and they sad that you can't find your own route.

[canibalgoat1]

I got an xbox 360 but i want a ps3 so badly

[thejobloshow]

I downloaded this for free off PSN+ thing you got for free after they fucked up the internet and I have to say - THIS GAME IS BRILLIANT. I would have never played it too.

[eternyman]

you totaly can restart event that you have just lost. just go to easydrive and restart it

[coolasj]

I've been replaying Burnout Paradise. It wasn't scored high enough.

At. All. It deserves a Best Racing Game of the Year. Even now.

[Dilleranthony]

sorry to say but I didn't like this game as much as burnout 3. I had the game for the ps2 and i LOVED it. getting burnout paradise it didnt seem to have the same fulfillment and satisfaction in takedowns. and where did the crash missions go?! that was the best part!

[runescapeabdul654]

ILLUMANTI!!!1

[Pow3rGaming]

game consoles still suck my balls.

[shreeshaipod]

love your reviews keep up the great work!

[BeneathTheSurface79]

The world in this game looks kinda like NFS Undercover which i beat in like 3 days, got bored with, then returned it. I've never played this series, how does it rank when compared with NFS, FORZA, or GT? I think the upcoming GT5 looks pretty sick.

[drift19234]

00:1 skip adds

[nightofhalo]

ign is a bitch, it still has great graphhics, epic songs and wrecks and is a blast

[themaxtremists]

only problem with this game was that there's no offline multiplayer

i missed racing against friends when they came round mine. Doing it online is alright but... yeah

[nolanmelon]

but is it fast as hell :P

[LilPottsofcp]

I got a ps3 on thursday and got this game, its epic

[bobbydylanio]

looks cool. just ordered a 360 elite with 16 games for £240 with 2 controllers (sorry i had to brag) and this is one of them. cant wait.

[bodies72]

i'm american so i don't know how good that is but it's still pretty awesome.

[bobbydylanio]

thats $320 I think

[bodies72]

damn..how the hell did you manage that?

[bobbydylanio]

ebay, its brand new too, sealed and everything.

[comp1337n00b]

So funny how the video cuts out right when he's about to say "enough"

[CCSofChocolatesvill]

it wud be top if you could get out like gta and shoot fuckers.

[xxxpartyhatxxx]

Fuck you codmw2 is beast. And Burnout paradise.

[RizHail]

LOL...

The Video game reviewer said " I just really CAN'T Recommend the game..."

hahahahahahaa

[multimaxstudios]

you misheard what he said. he said 'I just can't reccomend the game ENOUGH" meaning it's got to be in everyone's collection.

[RizHail]

@multimaxstudios

yeah last word just no sounds right...i couldn't understand it.

:)

[AzkabanInmate]

he said "i just really can't recommend the game enough" :P

[DiogoE6]

i fucking love this game! i love the engine sounds too soo sweet

[0greasedupdeafguy0]

Any1 no how it is for ps3? I hear it's fukn terrible! But I want some more opinions.

[eldeano1]

@0greasedupdeafguy0 i really like it when i played it at a mates and i have just got it for christmas but havent had a chance to play it

[PowderRanger00]

The game is just fukin brilliant i enjoyed it from 0 - 100% completion! It duz u cant restart the race ,is it true they fixed that in the ultimate box edition?

[multimaxstudios]

It's more realistic this way. I know it's a game but still.

[LiangHuBBB]

GG.

[enoching7]

this reviewer's voice is soo monotone

[PozzBox]

so is there an actual good storyline? if not, whats the best racing game with the best storyline?

[elitefusion86186]

There's no story and it's fine.

[funkychiknz]

can you perform a crashbreaker/explode ur car like in burnout revenge?

[noog0909]

Yes.

[AussieBrock]

My highest showtime on PS3 was 6.3 mill. -.-

[badblizzard123456]

to restart a race you click R1 for ps3 and click the right arrow button to restart

[bmg50barrett]

um. i dont know if they added the feature later or something, but you CAN restart from where ever you want..... you just press right on the pad to open the "easy ride" menu, and select restart....???

[aerodynamic41]

This review was made before the restart update was available

[p0p1p2p34]

Yes, the restart feature has been added with the latest updates.

[Atoweha]

you cant modify your cars in this game?

[bmg50barrett]

no, you cant. its a little bit of a let down, but there are so many cars that you are bound to find one that handles right, and looks the way you want it.

[truman890]

you can change the color and finish style though, and there are thousands of ways to do it

[Showpony420]

i jus bought this game on xbox live and before watching this i didnt know you could even use showtime

[TheLonDonE]

if u press left or right cant rememba,but if u press one of those on the d pad in a race or jus after u can restart the event,allso ur cimpass at the top in the center beeps b4 u hav 2 turn so u can watch dhat to know what route to take,so u dnt hav2 press da map,i dnt no wat dis bre was reviewing,but he missed allot of the mechanics,unless it was an updated change to theGame,if sum1 knows hit me bak,but it really looks like he didnt play it for long or he wud hav known dat da critisisms isWrong

[bubs7569]

hows this compare to midnight club la

[marxman47]

in here it doesnt matter if its open or not u can still return it as long u have the receipt

n i agree with u onburnout being better ive always had a hard time controlin the cars in need for speed

[Egide0]

Some races can be a pissoff for example when trying to get the burnout license. Road Rage races will ALWAYS be very fun...stunt runs will sometimes piss you off...races, burning routes and marked man events are very good.

[Rangerhalt1]

Yeah, I have both Burnout Paradise and Need For Speed Undercover. Both games are fun. Both games have their ups and downs. But Burnout Paradise wins. I find the controls easier in Burnout. And it's a lot more fast paced. But, that's what Burnout is known for right?

[NoWaiBoss]

best

arcade racer

ever

[AbonEsCabron]

witch game do yall think is better Need For Speed Shift or Burnout Paradise

[xarriluseth]

if you like realistic simulation racing better, shift. if you like uber sexy crashing and speed, paradise.

[TheHaos1]

NFS Shift and Burnout Paradise ar two VERY different games,Shit is a simulator and Burnout is an arcade game,you can't compare them,burnout i more fun,shift is more for serious kind of drivers although i recomand GRID ofer Shift,but it's still a pretty good game.

[Mersin94]

ye that is true but Burnout has something over Shift

Burnout actually forfills you and takes ages to pass

but shift doesnt forfill you as much..

id say burnout paradise is for a fan of any racing game

[STEVENSDANIEL123]

Burnout Paradise

[sniper123619]

how do you do showtime on ps3

[Mersin94]

i think its push L1 and R1 at the same time and your car should flip and you start

(havnt played in ages but i think its that..)

[marxman47]

ya ur right its L1&R1

[Ultimat3CaRnAgE]

use d pad u can restart event once finished and restart while in event.

[sniper123619]

i dont know what game to buy i have the money but just dont know please someone tell me what game is worth to buy please someone answer fast!!

[deadlybai]

burnout is really good you should get it

[Ultimat3CaRnAgE]

buy viva pinyata

[Knackbacke]

If you like burnout and you have played e.g. burnout 3, then buy burnout revenge.

btw: youtube isn't the right place to get purchase advices ;)

[aerodynamic41]

download it then

[jamescopper]

@aerodynamic41  fuck

[Knackbacke]

amazon. : /

[ryguyrocker]

im sure there is or will be a patch for it

[Egide0]

...Actually you CAN restart a race you are currently playing on burnout paradise. If you press the right button on the D pad, there is an option of restarting an event.

[aerodynamic41]

This review was made before the restart option became available

[marxman47]

rly because if i screw up a event i enter showtime so i can quit the event

[Egide0]

Usually the first time the game was released, there was no "restart race" option... you had to get into showtime and then wait for the race to finish. Did you download any updates of the game? if not, you should. The game now has the option to restart a race while in the middle of one, or restarting last event when you have failed a race. You'll love this feature especially when you want to get a certain score right...or you're too lazy to drive back all the way to the event itself!

:D

[Darius135gease]

Why doesn't he race how you're supposed to. Using the flashing street signs instead of looking at the map every 10 seconds.

[nascarandjeff123]

IS that a stock car at 1:06?

[MrCjthebomb]

u dont have to drive all the way back to start agin u just press right button nd it says resart race

[wollyonyou]

i'm gonna get on 360 soon

[Gennady100]

same

[epacsenur575]

ye dude u betta

[heavymentos]

Can you customize your cars?

[westarrr]

Hey, im just asking if this game is fun not LIVE, because i dont have LIVE.

I might buy it, but i want to know if its fun playing not on LIVE

[wednos]

ya its fun

[Bloodhammer1967]

This Game Kicks ass. it is by far the driving game I gave played. I play on a PS3 but I'm sure the Xbox is fun too. if you can get $20 to spend you will have your money worth.

[westarrr]

also wanna know which is better:

Need For Speed Undercover or Burnout Paradise

[maffefelix]

even though u cant really customize, burnout paradise i find way better

[101101sg]

i played burnout for a week and got the platinum its piss easy and gets you  3 golds and everyone join my clan O_Y3

[tmuny1]

i bought ths game from psn with my psn card

[ghskatersam]

When i get my 360 im getting this game, Skate 2, and Halo 3

[aspenaspen]

dude dont get halo 3 its overrated trust me the first halo is the best one

skate 2 is THE BOMB!! though

[ghskatersam]

yeah im getting a ps3.

skate 2 and MGS4

[alexthemod1]

yep, halo 3 i found so boring, i had no idea why there is so much hype around it.

[keven3141]

yea i understand, halo 3 is a pretty bad game when u suck at it, im pretty good nd i think its one of the best shooters ive ever played

[alexthemod1]

nah i knew this, i spent hours on it getting good, same with COD4, online and stuff i mean, and even then it was rubbish, i wasnt bad at them after a couple of months playing, not bad at all.

[keven3141]

halo 3: campaign alrite, multiplayer AWESOME!! if ur good at least...

[NewWorldSaint]

hey guys which is better midnight club losangelas or Burnout Paradise

[harryhill3]

guns and roses or metalica

[ghskatersam]

guns and roses

[TopDog5434]

38,000th view

[itubeyoudont]

anyone know the intro song... after the guy talking

[ghskatersam]

"Paradise City," by. Guns N' Roses

[itubeyoudont]

Thanks alot man!

[ghskatersam]

ur welcome

[legostarwarsfan97]

is it possible to play online like ur friend is on ps3 and im on xbox? does it work?

[PsYcHoMiKe99]

personally i give this game a 10/10 just because the theme song is paradise city by Guns n' Roses lol

[lMirrorsEdge]

what a noob. you can restart a race from anywhere.

[aerodynamic41]

This review was made before the restart option became available

[gogggang]

g8t game but to long to unlcock cars and such

[HaloKillaKid]

his voice cracked lol

[triplehkin]

is this exclusive to the ps3

[rockageek77]

no its available on PC and xbox360

[bogellenong]

theres a new one called burnout paradise the ultimate box, basically an expansion pack, and no its not exclusive to the ps3 only, it also available for pc and xbox360

[14thgeneration]

UPDATE: YOU CAN RESTART RACES NOW

[blackbull2433]

really! sweet!!! i want this game baaaaaaadly!!! and now that you tell me that i want this game more badly!!!

[BeauBeauBeauBeau]

how????

[14thgeneration]

you press left on the d-pad(ps3) and select restart race

[toiletseatbreaker]

looks shit in comparision to burnout 3

[COOLGUY123456V]

u sound real dumb

[HandsomeFallOutBoy]

i got to say i blew a load when i hear that a burnout game was coming to the ps3,i couldnt wait,but then it came out,and.....well,burnout revenge and burnout 3 are better than this,nice graphics but open-nice idea but not for burnout.this is how they killed the burnout series,my favorite and i still play it to this day is burnout revenge on the 360,much better than this,how many times have you failed a race,pushed start and hit retry? probably a few times,and that comes in handy.

[14thgeneration]

u can do that with the update now.....

[theodorolauguico92]

i got this game to be honest its not tht gd wid fake car names i say get mid night club

[Amirnake]

This game has SO much in it you cant get tired of it. So much to master and records that keep getting broken

[InfinteRevenge]

I'm selling gh wt the game disc for 17 $ if anybody is intrusted send me a message

[FreebieWiki]

Should I buy Burnout Paradise?

[toolhum]

I would say so. I was really skeptical about it, but I bought it for $19 off Amazon and am very impressed with it so far. Also, you can restart your races now b/c of a patch which makes it great! Hope this helps!

[vinnie8775]

just bought tis for 20 bucks ^_^

[SUPAPwN0o0]

Wooooooow, I go to that little menu using the arrows and select restart last event.

[hangmenhavefeelings2]

That's because of one of the updates, that wasn't in the original game.

[Titant2]

This game sucks cock. 1/10

I'll just keep playing the old burnouts.

[FaSGamez]

u suck cock and one thing im 101% compeated and its the best game on 360 for driveing and big surf island is this weeks so stfu dude lolz

[Titant2]

My friend,

This repetetive game with it's 3 or 4 types of races is so fucking boring that my nutsack falls off. It is more boring than Far Cry 2, which was ultra boring.

If this game kept its circuit style racing and not free roam it would have been a lot better, certainly with some different envirements. Overall this game is boring.

FFS the best on the 360? Damn i know cheap ass flash games which are better then this. And you sir suck cock as much as thiss whole goddamn game.

[TheSampleCarmine]

Actually,when this game came out it completely destroyed all racing games that came out before it.First Burnout games where fun.But this was awesome!It brought back some loved cars form 3,and the whole "win the race taking any route" was awsome.

This is a 10 out of 10 for me.

[pjwaynn]

should i buy

Burnout Paradise,Saints Row2, Resident Evil5,F.E.A.R 2,Call Of Duty4,Call Of duty 5 or God father II ?

[NIBent]

call of duty has a larger online community if your the competitive type

[SkiFantic]

save your money and get Modern warfare 2, no one will play cod5 and cod4 when it comes out. Thats how good it will be.

[myPETsnailFRED]

any accept call of duty

[ethan5673]

obvious troll is obvious

[14thgeneration]

figures that your nutsack must fall off when you play a game.

Definietely not the best on 360 but still pretty good. Now stop harassing people who like this game and pick up your balls :)

[AzNsOkOoL]

LOL!!!! nice!

[eagle11458]

yea dude ur an idot

[mrway667]

fuck i hate that song

[wwesbiggestfan]

To me this one of the best online game ever made. 9.5 to me.

[FaSGamez]

indded i give it 10 lolz

since im 101% lolz

[UserNamesIsCool]

Of course you always want a moment to brag! xD

[guywhodraws]

but when you start racing unlocking cars take em down to unlock its really intense

[guywhodraws]

At first when you first make a profile this game is crap

[xXTHEHITMANXx1]

all Burnouts are brill but the open world thing seems stupid i mean whats the use when you cant get out of the car? wouldn't it be easier to have a menu like the old school Burnouts used to have? AND BIKES WTF?!?!

[TheSampleCarmine]

Ok the bikes where enough.But not every fucking freeroam game needs to make it where you can get in and out of a car.I mean,most games are freeroam,AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING CARS!

[porntobewildd]

man thats what i hated about the game. every race i went into i had to keep pausing and then eventually i would miss a turn and then through my dog outside the window X_X

[crossed23]

With all the updates.... most of them free.... this is a for sure 10

[thestarwarsfreakass]

heck yea,this game is my fav, they have it now for like $19.99 us dollars at best buy or frys electronics,(frys electronics is only in california).

[crossed23]

Yeah I think I grabbed it for 20 at Gamestop and me and a friend share downloads wich is really nice. Cant wait for the Island to release. As of last night Ive put 18,000 miles in Paradise City lol. Oh love the screen name, next tatoo is going to be Boba Fett on my leg.

[thestarwarsfreakass]

lol boba fett.

me to, i just cant wait till Big Surf island comes out,i think thats what its called.

[alexatebradley]

frys are also in the atlanta area, just pointing that out :)

[thestarwarsfreakass]

thanks for pointing that out for me.

[igorg003]

Oh $#!t, no restart,

Well that right there just made me not purchase this game, Dang,

[aerodynamic41]

Actually, the restart option is now available thanks to an update

[igorg003]

Is the update in the game, or would i have to download it thorugh XBOX LIVE/

I now dont have XLIVE, so that sucks.

[aerodynamic41]

I'm not really sure, but it's most likely downloaded from Xbox Live

[Xplorer1147]

u prolly get it wit "the ultimate box" version

[applepiewithtoast]

no 'restart race'?! man, f that.

[monkeyboy8787]

GUNS N ROSES RULE(good game too)

[simmo30394]

if only it had a gps like gta 4 where it gives you the quickest route and if you do not follow that route it updates routes. ill still probably get this game though =P

[basilone200]

is it two player split screen

[manutd2564]

unfortunetly it is not

[1993GetMetalled]

burnout is one of those games which is still alive

most of the good games in former times suck now, but not burnout.

i always loved this series

[iCraigii]

This IGN Playstation dick is an idiot "oh I can't find my way during a race" - Um, the sign post system is invisible to you? Jackass.

[amr857]

So is the city like a city in GTA where you have to drive around to do stuff?

[LAX64DEFENCE]

The first burnout was the best..

[Markin2D]

i agree, probably then burnout 3 takedown. That game was sick and had a great soundtrack

[Deafcold]

MY GOD i was a little dissapointed with this god darn game! It all feels so slow! and its sooo easy!!!!!

[ivo2oo]

i liking this game plaj whan ia'm boring...?!

[Bra1th]

Is it possible to map the keys coz I hate accelerating and braking with the triggers on the 360 or PC (I dont think you could on the demo for the PC)

[Kingspawn000]

Yeah it actually does... They just renamed it.
