Burnout Paradise is AWESOME.
Crash Your Car! It's Paradise City.
No smartass title. Too awesome.
I've been a fan of burnout since I played Burnout 2. I have a need to crash stuff. I can't drive a virtual car (note. virtual. don't try this on y/our roads) without wanting to crash it and see it explode in a fiery ball. Midtown Madness, Grand Theft Auto 2, GTA:SA and GTA:LTC have all fueled this need of mine. But you always wind up having a tail of cops chasing you. Burnout Paradise is my dream game. Burnout 3 was a dream, but BP was 'heck, yeah!'

We bought the game for the PS3. The graphics, of course, are astonishing, not to even mention the HUGE open city they have you racing in. It's Huge. Trust me. It takes a full 4 minutes just to get from one end to the other. My gosh. We lost control of the car, too shocked to be hearing Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" playing on the EATrax List. Why is that a Racing game song? Ugh, how ghastly. I threw that off the playlist (good feature) and we got down to business.

But the game came with a (shudder) Chinese manual. Traditional Chinese. So I couldn't read squat off it. It was only till I fiddled with pressing L1 + R1 together, when the fun really started. I was laughing myself silly with Showtime mode. It's the new Crash event, only that you can start Showtime anytime, anywhere, with any car. Plus, the physics of this is crazy. Took me a while to get used to it, but I'm sure I'll beat it next time.

I don't care what you're a fan of. Buy the Game.

PS. We also got Devil May Cry 4. Enjoy the half-hour installation process!
