It sounds like they were ripped from a Michael Bay flick and have the "umph" to give your subwoofer a nice boost. The game also added a downloadable motorcycle add-on.Graphics and sound are top notch. On the PS3 the crashes are more intense than ever with some pretty bone crunching sequences that even made me go "ouch" even though there are no animated drivers and it is an "E" game. Car designs and models are great and gameplay framerates are smooth although there are some little hiccups that have been known to plague EA games on PS3. Roaming the city with your friends is pretty fun and adds a lot of variety to the types. Racing games don't appeal much to me.
I guess think of it as a huge interactive menu.The huge draw of Burnout has always been the crashes. If you have a topnotch sound system then you will enjoy some of the best racing sounds in a video game. I'll take a game of MarioKart 64 any day, but I did enjoy Burnout for the PS2 moderately. Switching between online and offline is easy and doing races and roaming with live players adds a new dimension. Reccomended for racing fans. This time around EA incorporated a free roam system where you could basically roam around Paradise City and do races and tasks as you choose.
Racing in a free roam city is fun, but if you decide to quit a race or restart you will stop a race at wherever in the city you are and will have to drive back to the starting point, which is a bit of a drawback.Multiplayer is a riot.
PSN has it as a download for $29.99. The Graphics on a 58" 1080p Plasma are unbelievable. It's that fast. Online play is the fastest I've seen.
I got this game on special at my local Brandsmart store for $18.88 back in April 08. I prefer a actual BluRay. Go get the game. Since then I can't stop playing it.
I have a few PS3 games and Burnout Paradise is the only one which by simply pressing the directional button 2 times you can actually go online and be playing with 8 people in under 30 seconds. Enjoy. I'm currently working on getting my Elite License. The crash scenes are intense and very realistic.
There are still different racing events throughout the city to participate in by going to key road intersections to initiate them. To do all the things that you normally can't do, and actually be rewarded for "bad driving". This gives the driver the freedom to explore a virtual city to an extent that probably can't be matched by any current game. and then they had to change it. -This game is more affordable than most PS3 games.
But gone are the various tracks around the world. So although this game is really fun, I do miss the variety that the previous games in this series offered. that you can drive into or drive off of. For instance, you can only drive into certain buildings.
But with all that said, I think that "Burnout 3" for the PS2 was the most fun and addictive to play. There are also lots of different hidden alleyways, buildings, etc. an entire rendered city.-The developers actually provide lots of new free upgrades to this game. Instead of many different tracks from all over the world. If you've never played any of the previous 'Burnout' series of racing games, the basic premise of these games is the fun of crashing your car into other cars, objects, to cause as much damage as possible.
especially the exotic tropical forest tracks in earlier games. But this is only a matter of taste. However, this latest incarnation comes with some big differences from previous games. Here are a few pros and cons: Pros:-Amazingly detailed graphics/crash dynamics/lighting-Freedom to explore a huge area. You may like the flexibility of finding your own shortcuts more than I.
and just for the fun of aggressive driving. The cars, objects, and courses are beautifully rendered and the crashes are nothing short of gorgeous. especially the famous track from Guns & Roses :)Cons: -limited track scenery-races are not as fun when the track routes are less defined. They recently added motorcycles. like new vehicles. it's easy to get lost during a race.
They had the perfect winning game formula. You can lose yourself for hours exploring the massive city and it seems like new upgrades are constantly being added via your internet connection. Here's hoping that they go back and use the winning formula they had on the next Burnout game for the PS3.
Conclusion: Although I think that this game could be improved upon, it is undeniably fun to play. And that's what we've come to expect from this series. and offers lots of bang for the buck.-The music is nice.
most are blocked off. there is only one large fully rendered city (that seems to have been inspired by L.A) and surrounding forested areas which you can also explore. Also, not all of the areas are accessible.
Also its not jus the graphics thats impressive but also the audio. I own quite a few titles on the ps3 and by far this game has kept me interested than the others. It sounds just amazing on my Logitech THX 5.1 speakers and the visuals and crashes are tremendous on my Samsung full HD LCD TV.All in all a feast of absolute fun on the PS3. There is no better way to describe this game other than addictive. The gameplay is exciting, addictive and keeps you hooked on for hours.
just one thing you gotta keep your speed up to win, so work hard at it and you'll become a prodigy, plus you can pull of so many tricks etc its just amazing :=). and the trophies are like easy to get also etc. ok well this game is totally awsome, the bikes update was amazing and everything and plus thats the reason i bought it, was for the bikes and they were everything expected. this game is an overall amazing game and theres not much bad a person could say about it except that it should have like ofline multi-players besides just playing online with peeps, but besides that tha game rocks.
