In Burnout Paradise players are treated to a rarity in the video
games universe: a complete reinvention of an established
franchise that equals, if not betters any of the previous games
in the series. Yes, this is a large cl, but one that can be
explained in a single phrase: Next-Gen Freedom.

.Although the Burnout series’ over the top mobile action has
been its calling card since it ignited audiences on the PS2 in
2001, and later on the first generation Xbox console, Burnout
Paradise is the first game in the series that has been designed
specifically for play on Next Generation consoles. This has
allowed game developer Criterion to rip the training wheels off
the game and rebuild it from scratch. The result is a new,
expansive world that players can roll through at will. And what a
world it is.
Enter Paradise City
Heaven on Earth, at least to road-raging, c-causing Burnout
fanatics, Paradise City is your domain and ultimate proving
ground in Burnout Paradise. This expansive driver’s playground
stretches across 250 miles and encompasses all sorts of road
driving conditions, from fun-in-the-sun seaside cruising
boulevards, to ain roads and downtown gridlock. But
regardless of what stretch of asphalt you find yourself on, the
beauty of this place is that nothing is blocked off and your wits
are at least as important as the horsepower under your hood when
it comes to racing here. Check out Paradise City’s five sub areas
(click the links for sample images):
* Downtown Paradise City

Burnout Your Way
Unlike in previous Burnout games, Burnout Paradise not only puts
the keys to your ride in your hands, but places you squarely in
the driver’s seat when it comes to where you can go and what you
can do.Along with wide avenues and crowded highways, the open
game design of Paradise City is also jammed full of hidden side
streets, back roads and alley ways. These can be used as short
cuts in races, that is, if you know where they are. As you
explore, commit these potential short cuts to memory because they
will definitely come in handy in a tight race. And since we are
talking Burnout here, players should not expect uneventful,
genteel contests of speed and precision driving. In Paradise City
players are always free to slam, shunt and wreck nents in
their bids for supremacy and they will. Also, new to the Burnout
series, races can now start anywhere, anytime. Just pull up to a
stoplight and spin your wheels to start one in one of five
different event classes:
* Classic Race
* Road Rage
* Burning Route
* Stunt Run (new)
* Marked Man (new)Instant Online
Burnout Paradise also keeps the mobile carnage coming while
simultaneously setting the new standard in online social
gameplay. With the new ‘Easy Drive’ feature you can find friends
online and with the click of a button invite them to a race. Once
they’ve accepted the race will start immediately. That's right,
no more annoying wait times at online lobbies and servers. And
keeping in touch with friends is easier than ever.Team up or
Takedown
In the winner-take-all universe of Burnout teaming up usually
isn’t the first option that comes to mind, but on these rough and
tumble streets it's a good option to keep in mind. With more than
300 FreeBurn Challenges packed into the game, players always have
the choice of going it alone against the field as a whole or
joining forces with up to seven of your buddies in user-created
race routes. Either way, if you are victorious in your takedown
you'll get the chance to talk some t as you exchange Mugs
with your victim via an optional camera hooked to your gaming
system or your gamertag/PSN avatar if you prefer to keep your
identity on the down-low.
Showtime: C Anywhere, Any Time
And finally since a new Burnout release wouldn't be complete
without a little something special in the wreckage department,
Burnout Paradise continues the carnage with an update of its
familiar 'C Mode.' Renamed 'Showtime Mode,' players can now
c, bounce and scatter their ride in any location and replay
the wreckage over and over in slow motion. One of the most
addictive and down right fun features of the game, players
activate the mode by simply pulling both triggers on their
controller and if they are good enough can also immortalize their
Showtime moments on the leaderboards for all to see.
Driving fans this is Next-Gen at its best and definitely the
Burnout title you have been waiting for.
