Pros:

  • Free roam all of Paradise City.
  • Friends can seamlessly drop into your game.
  • Great selection of vehicles to unlock.
  • Love the amazingly massive crashes.
  • Vision camera yields some laughs.

 

Cons:

  • No Crash Mode.
  • Finding the fastest route can be challenging.
  • No photo or video options to capture the fun and share.

 

The Verdict:

Paradise City is huge and it takes a long time to even discover where all the events are. The ability to invite friends to your game while you cruise the city streets provides a seamless transition between single player and multiplayer modes. I believe this new seamless system is most likely why Crash Mode was scraped and replaced with Showtime. The new mode is fun but cannot ever replace Crash Mode. Overall, Burnout Paradise is a genuinely fun game with a lot of potential for future content.

 

Score:

8/10
