The city itself also serves as the main hub for the huge quantity of races, with every individual lane being a drag race and every intersection an opportunity for one of five different race types: Race, Burning Routes, Marked Man, Road Rage and Stunt Runs.
While the environment never presents anything too unexpected, the city is jam-packed with billboards to destroy, shortcuts to discover and ramps to leap off of, all of which are constantly tracked and a joy to complete.
Despite a mixed presentation and a lack of variety in the single and multiplayer modes, the open world of Paradise City remains a blast to race through thanks to the plethora of drivable cars and hidden shortcuts.īurnout Paradise takes place within Paradise City, a respectably-sized open world that ends up being the star of the title.
#BURNOUT PARADISE REMASTERED SERIES#
With no Burnout titles to speak of over the last seven years, Paradise remains the send-off for the main series, leaving this remaster as a new chance for fans to remember their fondness for the series or introduce new players to the chaotic arcade racer. Regardless of which you prefer, Burnout Paradise was well-revered at the time of its release, enough so that EA announced a remastered version last month with an updated presentation and all of the available DLC included within. While referencing the best entry in the franchise, many fans point to either Burnout 3 or Burnout Paradise, depending on one’s preference for the more straightforward nature of the first two Burnout titles or the ambitious nature of integrating Burnout’s crash-focused gameplay into an open-world design.
For a decade, Criterion released over a half-dozen main entries and spin-offs that focused on high-octane speed and over-the-top crashes, with an attention to detail and an equally fast-paced soundtrack to match. If there was one arcade racing franchise that defined the early 2000s, there’s an argument to be made for it being Criterion Games’ Burnout series.
