Need a vacation from Paradise? Big Surf Island has just what you need. Criteron has been keeping fresh content flowing in Burnout Paradise ever since its release in January 2008. The latest, Big Surf Island, is the first paid expansion that adds a new chunk of land for you to drive around in. The add-on brings 15 events, nine new cars, more billboards, more smash gates, and mega jumps.
Hardcore Gamer: There’s not a lot of games that have been out for over five years that people are still clamoring to see properly ported to PC, but Burnout Paradise is one of them.
Danny Lilley looks back over one of his favourite multiplayer games from this generation, remembering Criterion Games' 2008 hit Burnout Paradise.
Ian Fisher writes: Criterion always managed to jam some character and fun in the games they create but Burnout Crash is probably the lowest point the Burnout franchise has ever sunk to, far surpassing the somewhat meddling PSP installment the franchise received several years ago. So where does Criterion take the Burnout franchise from here? Is Burnout Crash an indication of what we can expect from the series while Criterion focuses on bigger projects for the EA mothership or will we see a return to form? More importantly, what the hell do gamers want to see out of a new Burnout game after three long years?
I sure as hell would love a new real burnout game, Crash isn't even worth buying...
I for one dont mind the linear tracks, its a helluva lot easier to revise the track over and over again if you keep failing, so that you can experiement with different techniques, as opposed to doing everything differently each time in open world, but I like the idea of having both options, keep the linear sandbox, but have a seperate game mode where its simply linear racing and crashing.
I have my hands full with motorstorm and killzone 2 maps.
Maybe I should get this and pratice my sixaxis motion control driving since its all the hype now a days huh huh huh ?
I bought this the day it came out. I haven't explored the island too much yet because I'm working on my Elite license right now (16 races to go!), but Burnout is one of the best games in my collection.
I will be purchasing this. Well, once it's back up on the Marketplace...
