Burnout Paradise

"Give it a chance and you may find yourself having the most fun you've ever had in a virtual car."

"The City is enormous and beautiful, the cars are amazingly detailed, and the control is divine. Tearing through the streets of Paradise City, hitting the e-brake to do a quick 180 and laying heavy on the boost will have you giggling with speed demon delight, even if you have to listen to the irritating DJ Atomica while you do it."

"Criterion was on hand at EA's press event today to show off the latest and greatest version of the upcoming Burnout Paradise for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game made a splashy showing at this year's E3 Media & Business Summit, and our positive impressions of the speedy, gorgeous racer haven't really changed. At today's event, we had a chance to check out the online and offline challenges. Not surprisingly, these challenges involved much fun and crashing."

"The fast-moving Burnout series is crashing its way around a much larger area in Burnout Paradise. And the resulting product, which is still in a pre-alpha state, is already looking like it could end up being a pretty amazing game."

Burnout Paradise includes all the fast-driving, hard-wrecking action you'd expect from a Burnout game, but with a fantastic new open-world design that gives it its own stand-alone flavor.
