That was a fantastic feature. Had many a serious load of black guys looking like they we're going to strawberry float me up, chased one guy for ages in a rage filled act of revenge to be met with some little kid stood in front of his bunk bed in a football shirt, and one guy who looked like the numa numa bloke laughing his ass off.

The online component in Paradise drums up plenty of opportunity for microtransactions/loot boxes.

But yes, agreed, while a solid game Paradise is not the series best.

Ten years old?!

Don't strawberry float with that soundtrack.

Yeah, do what I did and turn it off and listen to your own music.

Good times! I know I did race with some people from the forum, a couple who had the PS Eye - maybe one was you.

Agreed.

I've not played it.

But I want Burnout 2 / 3 / Revenge: Triple Destruction!

TakeDown was by far the best, but I could never put Revenge above Paradise.

I loved revenge. Had some great tracks.

It also had so much bloom and lens glare that JJ Abrams wanted them to wind it in a bit.

Minor issues that - in total honesty - I never noticed. The bigger problem was the rubber band AI, which was particularly obnoxious. Still loved it though.

I hated the open world driving of Paradise. I'm out.

Too many dimensions for you?

Considering the older games were also 3D, no?

It's just I preferred when Burnout had a proper crash mode and properly designed tracks. I didn't like the open world racing.

Takedown > 2 > Paradise > Revenge > original

Sorry it appears I should have used pink italic text.

Basically this

(will probably still buy it though)

I actually really enjoyed paradise, it was and still is a very unique game. Really really fun. What i didn't like was trying to do the motorbike challenges online especially when 7 people were needed!

Crash Mode is the whole reason I got into Burnout and, whilst it had to be implemented slightly differently in Paradise, I didn't find it to be any the worse for it. What didn't you like about it in Paradise?

Hopefully they’ll add a restart race option, rather than having to drive all the way back to the start line each time.
