About Burnout Paradise

Evolve or die. For Paradise, we knew we had to change everything.

Burnout was a killer arcade driving game, but for a new generation of hardware and connected player Burnout had to become something more ambitious.

Closed tracks made way for an expansive, open city, and we seamlessly synced your friends into the action and let you loose on a heap of cool challenges that unsurprisingly rewarded you for driving like a lunatic. Hey, it’s us after all.

    What holds up is the sense of speed, it never feels artificial or scripted, the city just lets you go. Where it struggles a bit is content variety once you've done the main event types, it can start feeling repetitive after a long session.

    Lo retomé hace poco por una tarde suelta y la ciudad seguía sin sentirse artificial, eso me sobra para defenderlo.

    Cada seis meses volvemos a discutir si merece estar tan alto y cada seis meses acabo votando lo mismo, sin muchas ganas ya de convencer a nadie.

    Face à GTA à la même époque, lui au moins me laissait souffler entre deux courses.

    Yo nunca pasé de unas pocas horas seguidas, pero recuerdo perfecto la primera vez que choqué a propósito solo para ver qué pasaba ¿a alguien más le pasó eso?

    Tu te souviens du moment où t'as arrêté de compter les épaves ce soir-là ?

    Le doy la razón a los que dicen que la ciudad se queda algo corta con el tiempo, eso lo reconozco, pero la sensación de manejo y el choque siguen siendo de lo mejor que probé en su generación.
