But I think he is going overboard by calling it game of the year.

aceman76751d ago

This is a step forward in the franchise.

is you can't change the god damn controls

Ju6750d ago (Edited 6750d ago )

I found that rotating camera weird. Whats up with that. You pull back and all of a sudden your camera rotates 180dgr. WTH ?

Takes a while to get used to. But that is a heck of a game. I am pretty impressed.

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.

SullysCigar1127d 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.

NJShadow1126d 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.

EazyC1127d 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.

BrainSyphoned1127d ago

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

CPTN MITCHELL1127d ago

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

Einhander19711127d 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_toad1776d ago

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

Flewid6381776d ago (Edited 1776d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381776d ago (Edited 1776d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1776d ago

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

Flewid6381776d 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.

Chocoburger1776d 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.

ChasterMies1776d ago

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

Xenial1775d ago

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