BEST DAMN CAR VIDEO GAME IN THE HISTORY OF VECHILE GAMES PERIOD. To bad the online is dead it's depressing but playing this game in its prime was awesome met a lot of cool people, hahahahaha I have no life.
nothing beat this game in its prime. i’d argue and say forza horizon is one of the best car video games but this game was different and special. it’ll always have a place in my heart.
When I'm in races my eyes always flick back and forth between the road and the minimap. It took me ages to get used to, but it gets better, and it keeps you in the action :)
The game took out features that made Burnout Revenge great. Crashing traffic, modes, and the best feature of all...getting to explode your car after you got taken down and destroy other racers in the process.
Spent so many hours on this game. I was a god. Loved the stunts, extreme speed, jumps. played it all the way untill my data got corrupted then cries and never played again. Cant wait for criterion make another installment on the new consoles
Except that criterion won't make another burn out game because they discontinued the series so they could focus more on need for speed, but in my opinion, burn out is a much better series.
It's not really a problem, because you're never far away from another race. Only on the very last races does this have the potential to be annoying, but when you factor in the exploration aspects (finding all the jumps and billboards) and setting gold medal times on every street, there is always something to do near you that will get you where you want to go. This is easily one of the best racing games ever made.
I think some stuff, like restarting events, was added post-launch, but I could be wrong. Still, an incredibly fun game. There's nothing better than being in a road-rage, seeing 5 cars smashing into each other ahead of you, then seeing one get forced into an oncoming taxi, spin out, and flip inches over the top of your car.
I love this game so much, it's a lot more fun than most driving games out (though NFS Hot Pursuit is kinda similar...). I've never been a fan of racing simulators, so this is perfect for me. I still remember when I played B3: Takedown with my friends, now we can play Paradise online. And it still looks beautiful for a game this old.
Aww this made me realize how precious my ps3 is.. cos i got a ps4 and i haven't played this like since forever.. i plan to sell ps3 with 29 games and with downloaded games inside my ps3.. no way I'm going to sell it lol.. gosh how much I miss the good old memories.. i really love burnout revenge and this and psp version.. wishing that they have it on psn store.. burnout is best racing games ever.. never ever sell your precious ps3 lol.. someday we all have to look back and realize how lucky you are.. damn.. ps1 to ps4.. shit i feel so old already bawahahaha :P
The next burnout should be a sort of best hits collection. The open world of paradise, the road rage of paradise, the crash mode of burnout 3, the racing of burnout 2 and the soundtrack of burnout 1
Day and night can be turned off. Races can be restarted without driving to the beginning. The navigation system if fine since the hub brings up all upcoming intersections and you have a marker on the mini map telling you the direction you want to be going in. Part of the challenge is that you are given a starting and ending point and how you get there is up to you. It wasn't an oversight it was intentional. If you need a game that holds your hand that much just buy mario kart
The difference in Burnout Paradise is where in Burnout Revenge you choose the event and start somewhere predetermined, but in Burnout Paradise you can start the event anywhere and each road has it's records for that event/mode.
The thing that really bothers me in this game is that there are no building lights at night, it really feels empty at night with every building and lamp post dark
@jpablomlopez Yeah, they added Day and Night times and Bikes, If you want to restart a race you just open up Easy Drive. It's acually easier and has like a couple more hours of gameplay now.
"you can't restart races" yes you can , all you have to do is access the menu on the d-pad and select restart event and it sets you back to wear you were
awesome graphics very crisp all running at 60 fps locked without one dip!! this game was way ahead of its time in the racing genre when it came out 5 yrs ago and still to this day is!
Burnout Paradise (with the v1.9 patch)is the BEST ARCADE RACER EVER! It only takes like 24 hours to Platinum but since it is so fun it gives around 80 hours of fun until you 100% your Licence. Then to the Free DLCs which are really fun although some of the challenges are stupid but fun. Surf Island add around 40 hours to the fun, and the other Legendary and Toy cars add fun to the already funny mix, Cops and Robbers adds Competitive MP. And all the DLCs had their price cut by half. 10/10
To restart a race, you have to drive back to the start point. It would help if there was a retry option from a menu on the "you lost" screen, but there isn't. I did well, untill I got the day/night cycle update, then it became mostly unplayable. Don't assume someone is bad at a game if they didn't like it. If you liked it, then ignore my opinion and let it be (GTA4 sucks in my opinion, that doesn't mean other people wont like it). Don't insult those who disagree with you.
Modnation Racers and Burnout Paradise: The two best racing games ever made. Period. Burnout Paradise is the best, though. Criterion seriously loves it's users. 3$ for their best DLC? Hell yes.
IGN, you dont need to always look at the map, your blinker lights will tick when the game thinks you should turn right or left, i didnt see this until a few days so. you might miss it.
@MapleCombat74 Actually thats not what he meant. He's saying if you fail at a race and need to restart it you have to exit the race and drive back to the original start point. I was pointing out that this is no longer true. You can restart the race immediately without making that trip. Didn't say anything about wanting to start a race from the other side of the map. And that is a minor gripe in any case
yeah, i downloaded the update soon after and realized you could, but i still preferred non- sandbox burnouts b/c they were more creative and less repetitive.
@MrGundestrup no. it clearly states on the burnout paradise game that if you are a psplus member then you will get the game at no extra charges UNTIL your subscription ends.
First game I ever played online just when I got Xbox live. Friendly community and so much to do in the game. Literally spent all day everyday playing it. Best arcade racer out till this date in my opinion
@deathbyfacebook No you can only unlock them, you can spend real money on a time savers dlc to unlock all the cars straight away if you want. And no, you can't upgrade cars, only change the colour
It SUCKS with the day/night cycle. You get 12 minutes to race, so 1 try before you gotta wait another 12 before you can see what you are doing. Open world races are an OK gimmick, if you there was a better system for telling you when you need to turn.
You can restart, and the whole point of the game is to KNOW your path! I don't have to pause while racing! And honestly, I think it's better not to restart, so you can get familiar with the city.
just when I saw the title "paradise city" in the video I imidiatly had the song "paradise city" by guns'n'roses in my head and bam u put it into the vid. great! looks like a really fun game. defenetly will get the ultimate box
Never could get into it. The open world was fun as a between the races kind of thing, but the lack of dedicated race courses was too big of a loss, with the 'point A to point B' races being too confusing and just not fun. And 'Showtime" was a very poor substitute for the classic Crash Mode. As for the online component, i could really not care less. I gave Burnout Paradise a shot, messing around with it for several hours on a few different occasions, but i quickly lost interest every time. The game looked great and played well as is usual for Burnout, and the open world was a novel idea for a racing game, but it unfortunately resulted in an overall unfocused experience. The game just did not engage me, and was a big step down for this great series.
I really wanted to like Paradise city. Loved the older burnouts, and I'm still playing them. While the graphics and music are great, it just didn't do it for me. I liked that there were shortcuts and lots of hidden things, but racing at insane speeds just doesn't mix with checking a map every 3 seconds ... Also, if you haven't bought it yet, beware, on the xbox the update on this game is a few gigs.
@tootiserolll2 i guess you haven't played it? Crash FM is there with plenty of sweet music, faith no more, guns and roses etc. and the driving around the city is fun when you give it a shot cuase of all the jumps and stuff that you fund (and use later in events when you know they're there). and the arrows blocking off the street.... i kinda agree with you. like, it's awesome to pick your own route, but it would have been nice to have blocked off events too.
Patch v1.9 was godsend, now the game costs 8$ and yet I hink is way better than NFS or many other racing games, you'll have 100+ hours of fun with this one and almost no frustration at all thanks to that update.
It's been over 4 years...where is a new Burnout by now? Especially one for the Vita? Crash mode is a must, and I am hoping for the old school track design style, rather than an open city. Leave that for Midnight Club. This is what made the different games so enjoyable, the fact that they were just that...different.
Ok I just bought this game (a little late I know) but how do you navigate in this game? When in a race I find that I have to keep hitting select to bring up the map which is both annoying and crap I'm sure there is an art to this , how do others play it I should add I have played every past burnout game on the ps2.
This reminds me of NFS 2015, how it's 'online' and you just drive up to the races, I wonder if the new remastered will addressed all of these issues, one can hope
@EvilHeadBoy Yeah I know mario kart was a massive clusterfuck of tears, rage and shattered tv screens but there was no confusion with where to go and what to do. It really couldn't have been more straightforward. Give a driving game too many intersections though and eventually all the kids start whining that there isn't an information desk at the corner of every street.
@DivineBanana I do actually know that. And I was responding to someone who would have known that also. They were bitching about those specific problems well after those updates were made.
@game442 The game didn't come that way right after its release. Criterion changed that after some complaints so don't blame this guy for not knowing because it wasn't there when he reviewed it. That said, IGN doesn't want to go back this far to change a review released two years ago.
if you lose a event you can restart it by using the d pad
you can do it now, but originally at launch there was no way to restart
@@justinchavarria3326 what button do you restart an event
@@violet_stein thanks
That moment when all the background songs are from burnout 3.
I love that there's music from previous Burnout games in this ♥

Criterion should make another Burnout game for PS5 and XSX.
This game was a masterpiece
Here in 2018 bring on the remaster
It should be ILLEGAL for EA to have Turned Criterion Games into a Multiplayer designer, and for killing the Burnout Series.
Here in 2020 there's a remaster on the switch
@@playbossthebest936 here in 2020 playing the remaster on Switch UwU👌
My favorite racing game of all time- to this day I play it
Ry Dubz same here
I can't agree with you more...
yes
looks like we woke him up to do this review
Also you can see where you supposed to go based off the turn signals
The game took out features that made Burnout Revenge great. Crashing traffic, modes, and the best feature of all...getting to explode your car after you got taken down and destroy other racers in the process.
*ayo there is showtime which is crash mode*
Whos here for Remastered version?
Well, now its out
For 2 years already
The game is quite easy to finish. But man, just fooling around in the open world for hours is awesome.
They don't make any games like they used to...
Who came here to see if the money you put on xbox gold buys you good games ?
Spent so many hours on this game. I was a god. Loved the stunts, extreme speed, jumps. played it all the way untill my data got corrupted then cries and never played again. Cant wait for criterion make another installment on the new consoles
Except that criterion won't make another burn out game because they discontinued the series so they could focus more on need for speed, but in my opinion, burn out is a much better series.
The only thing we got is the burnout paradise remastered, and this is the last burnout game ever released, we will never see burnout ever again :(
The guy reviewing this is so unenthusiastic
Adam D he looks like Beans from Even Stevens.
hes from ign
Because he's from the PlayStation team... depressing
Free next month on Xbox live gold !
Cheap right now on Steam!
Remastered now
GOOD! because that is all its worth.
4 Years later and this game is still one of the best works of art I've ever played.
What about 13 years?
What about 15 years ago?
Pause @ 0:18 lol illuminati
I think it appears in assassins creed also

Don't sell it with download games on it you'll get your account stolen and anyway when you sell it people are likely to delete the whole thing anyway.
It's remastered now

why are the songs from Burnout 3 being used in this?
@game442 when this video was made, there wasn't the Free February Update which allows you to use Easy Drive to restart the event.
The thing that really bothers me in this game is that there are no building lights at night, it really feels empty at night with every building and lamp post dark
@jpablomlopez Yeah, they added Day and Night times and Bikes, If you want to restart a race you just open up Easy Drive. It's acually easier and has like a couple more hours of gameplay now.

excuse me if i'm being a know it all but you can restart a race, just go on easy drive (right button) and find restart last event.
road rage was best in burnout 3
cant believe the old RenderWare Engine (used in GTA 3 to San Andreas) still works even after 14 years

U can also momorize the city's roads and navigate that way
Exactly my thoughts...only addicts of the game understand this😂

@rencas they apparently didnt lose their touch if u like hot pursuit cuz its the same company criterion
Your dont have to drive back to the spot to restart the race. You just need to gi to the easy drive menu and put restart race
That's in the Ultimate Box, this is the original version.
umm dude may i mention that the made that day/night cycle a bit brighter to see where you are going and a restart option. Just pointing out

Also, forgot to say, look at the flashing road signs at the top of the screen. They're usually the best route to take
