Last racing game I enjoyed. I put so many hours into the game. Even got the Platinum on PS3

paul-p19883869d ago

Same here, it was my first platinum. I still remember the excitement of FINALLY getting 8 people in the baseball stadium and seeing the platinum pop up :)

It was a brilliant racing game, it was just pure fun throughout. I sunk far too many hours in to it lol.

JMaine5183869d ago

Jeez you just took it there. Wow! Good times.

Why o why3869d ago

same here....took me away...I was really in that place, the music, weather, radio. Hours and hours of driving. My best burnout to date

scark923869d ago

I got the platinum also! getting the players in the stadium was the hardest imo haha

Love the game, it is fantastic!

MilkMan3869d ago

OK, but wheres Burnout 3 or Revenge Even. I wasn't that much of a fan of Paradise, but Ill take it for now.

superchiller3869d ago

Bingo! Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge were masterpieces, would love to see remaster of both of those on modern day consoles. Both were also much better than Paradise as well.

NeoGamer2323869d ago

Burnout 3 never shipped on X360. If they add original XB BC maybe later?

MohammadAdam3869d ago

But burnout revenge did ship on X360, would love that on BC more than Paradise

ScorpiusX3869d ago

Sweet keep them coming Xbox .

How Burnout Paradise bucked the trend and made open-world racing irresistible

Met with derision from existing Burnout-series fans at the time, Burnout Paradise remains arguably the greatest open-world racing game of all time. Here's why.

SullysCigar1118d ago

I don't know why - and I know I'm probably on my own here - but I liked Takedown more. I think it was just 'different' enough to feel fresh. I also loved the destruction.

On that note, a new Motorstorm would be nice! All that mud, dust and car pieces flying everywhere blew my mind on PS3 - imagine what they could do now.

NJShadow1117d ago

I loved Burnout Paradise, but Burnout 3: Takedown will always be the best game in the series, for me. Burnout 3 is arguably the most fun game ever made, with the greatest licensed soundtrack ever.

EazyC1118d ago

I played through the remaster quite recently. It's not as good as I remember, but I think a lot of that is because the "open world" thing was still pretty fresh back then.

I do think there's a gap in the market for a game like Burnout. With the new gen they could really make car damage a huge selling point again.

BrainSyphoned1118d ago

Paradise gave me open world burnout before I knew it was a thing.

CPTN MITCHELL1118d ago

Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car

Einhander19711118d ago

Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.

I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.

camel_toad1767d ago

That mode was so damn fun. Couldn't believe it when they ditched it.

Flewid6381767d ago (Edited 1767d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381767d ago (Edited 1767d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1767d ago

Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.

Flewid6381767d ago

That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.

Chocoburger1767d ago

I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.

After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.

Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.

ChasterMies1767d ago

Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

Xenial1767d ago

As soon as I saw Burnout 3: Takedown at #1, I knew the list was legit. lol
