Criterion's latest Burnout SKU is Paradise City: An open world which features an entire metropolis worth of real estate begging to be inundated with bits of burnt rubber and sheet metal scraps.
In a push to bring out the personality of the breathing world that is Paradise City, Criterion decided to use several, very distinctive car classes instead of its usual homologated offering. Although not officially licensed, the vehicles in the muscle, hot rod, SUV and exotic classes have lines iconic enough to make them easily identifiable by any gear head.
The same iconic styling of the Burnout Paradise's four wheelers goes for the motorcycles that will soon be coming in a "Bikes Pack" download (which is a part of Criterion's "Year of Paradise" DLC push that intends to keep Burnout Paradise's persistent world fresh for a long time).
Even though Criterion may be done making content for Burnout Paradise, the company still wants to give the game one more big push.
PlayStation 3 owners can currently get the full game, along with all DLC, for just $30. This includes Big Surf Island, Party Pack, Legendary Cars, Toy Cars, Boost Specials, Cops and Robbers and all other cars and motorcycles from the game. At full price, this would cost over $100.
For people who already own the game, you can pick up all of the content for just $20.
Currently, this deal is only for PS3 owners and is good until March 31.
Wow. Playstation really is Criterion's favorite system. Cannot wait for their next game.
This game is pure unadulterated fun and should be played by all. If you can sport the cash, get it, it is a blast and you won't regret it.
Ive bought this game new 2 times and download once. Its not a bad game, and the driving is excellent. Customization, cokpit view, good story and setting and this game could have even out done midnight club LA. They put the game out too soon, but they ended up reaping the rewards for being one of the better racers out with online for the ps3 at the time. Good for Criterion. I know the new NFS is gonna be fine in their hands.
Hmmm... good thing i waited this long. Damn, i got so many games to play and so little time.
I talked so many of my friends into getting this game back in the day. We'd spend hours and hours online. One of my favorite games this gen.
but most people who stopped playing this aren't going back, especially to the online. All I want from this pack is the two player mode/split screen that was $10 by itself, has that seen a price reduction?
I really wish they would take this series back to it's linear routes. I'm not for open world Burnout. I would love to see both Burnout and SSX new versions that harked back to there humble beginnings. SSX1 & Tricky had the best track designs of any racing/extreme sport game to date, they were awesome, yet EA have turned both there own original IP (in SSX) and Criterions game into open world type affairs.
Let the next need 4 speed go for open world structure, and after you finish that Criterion, bring me back the Burnout of the 1st 3 games.
I'd like to see the best of both worlds! Some Grand Prix / proper circuits / linear type of events, AND the sandbox city.
I'd also love to be able to tweak settings so that I could dial the game back to the older versions - before Traffic Checking etc were introduced and the game was far less forgiving! :)
And a proper Crash Mode.
I never really cared for the old burnout games because they were linear. Burnout Paradise pulled me in because of the lack of constraints.
Well shoot, I normally don't like buying DLC, but I might just buy all of this considering the amount that they made and how much support they gave this game after it was released.

I waited about a minute before going back in the room and oh boy how bad that dude bruised the girl's face. I kind of felt really bad waiting..Damn you David Cage! Making me feel and sh1t!!!!!!!!!
Meh. Nothing really peaks my interest. I may pick up some of the free content (who doesn't love free?), but I'm not sure I'll buy anything this week. Disc based games have broken my bank account over the past 2 months. So many good games, so little time.
Definitely some cool bundles, I'm tempted to get the Crazy Taxi/Full Auto PSP bundle...
Special Holiday Note: This is the last update for 2009
