The latter is done by passing through a specially designed location and getting an instant paintjob. You'll also get a chance to tune your rides or change their color as you play. Burnout Paradise's cars are fictional ones, but they're vaguely based on vehicles that we Top Gear fans adore. Multiply that by 120 and you'll get.well more than the actual number of checkpoints, but still enough challenges to keep you busy for a long long time (specially in winter time).Ĭars will deform superbly getting compressed or get dismembered in the most original ways, but you won't realize the magnitude of your atrocities, because you won't be able to relate to real-life car models. On the contrary, Paradise managed to surprise me and you'll understand what I mean, once you'll find out that the game features up to 16 checkpoints per race. You might imagine that only racing in a huge town tends to limit the number of challenges you can take part in. The famous Crash mode has been rebranded and it's now called Showtime mode, that's triggered when you pull iggers. Meanwhile, the X button will only be pressed in order to boost the speed of your car. The Xbox 360 joystick started this trend and now the SIXAXIS controller continues it, allowing us to accelerate and brake with the good old trigger buttons, L2 and R2.
We've become trigger-happy and we don't even know it.
#PS3 BURNOUT PARADISE GAME PS3#
Since this is a PS3 title we're talking about, the new controller comes into play, so this may be the first time I've said "bye-bye" to the conventional control system. In order to start a race you'll just have to stop at one of the 120 traffic lights in the city and get ready to compete against a couple of speedy fellows. For example, I've cruised throughout the city randomly crashing cars that were part of the traffic, for fun. The title offers you the chance to crash whenever and wherever you like. Paradise's main feature is the fact that it doesn't feature big loading times or any type of lobbies or complex game menus. The game relies heavily on online play and virtual communities of racers and Burnout fans. Things are pretty straight forward in Paradise, as it allows you to kick some metal behind right from the start, without too much of an introduction.
The way the action's introduced to you is not as fancy as the one in NFS: ProStreet and all of its urban legends and racin' groups. Paradise City is a completely open world and an environment that's ideal for racers and crashers alike. Curios? Hit the acceleration button and read on! What's Burnout Paradise all about? Well, picture Test Drive Unlimited with a twist and what a twisted feature it adds. Keep in mind that it's one of the few game demos that allows online play, so get online right now and start downloading it through your PSN or Xbox Live. However, you might as well go and play the game's popular demo, made available by those fine EA folks. The game will be made available on Januin the US and on January 25 in Europe, so there's more than a month's time of waiting till then. All of you PS3 and Xbox 360 owner rejoice, as you're about to witness the rebirth of the Burnout series, courtesy of Electronic Arts and Burnout Paradise. Well the girls may be pretty and the grass may be green, but we're more into takedowns, Burnout's trademark car-crashin' scene. Since car crashes and speedy races are always linked to heavy rock music, we'll take some time out and remind you the lyrics: "Take me down to the paradise city, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty" belonging to Guns N' Roses and featured in the song "Paradise City".
