Looking Back: Burnout Paradise

For the first Looking Back feature I chose to buy Burnout Paradise, the game that's known for its great downloadable content, and fun, entertaining gameplay.

Most of you reading this will have played Burnout, it's quality, lengthy downloadable content has ensured your copy will stay firmly on your shelf rather than Gamestations. I managed to pick up a copy on the Playstation 3, mainly due to the trophies that are notoriously easy to obtain, a note of warning though if you do pick up it up on the PS3 for the first time, make sure you insert the game around 2 hours before you would like to play it.

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.

SullysCigar1128d 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.

NJShadow1128d 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.

EazyC1128d 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.

BrainSyphoned1128d ago

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

CPTN MITCHELL1128d ago

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

Einhander19711128d 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_toad1778d ago

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

Flewid6381777d ago (Edited 1777d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381777d ago (Edited 1777d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1778d ago

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

Flewid6381777d 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.

Chocoburger1778d 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.

ChasterMies1778d ago

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

Xenial1777d ago

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